I had logged onto my computer this morning intending to tell you about the weekend filled with friends (new and old), family too rarely seen and ridiculous amounts of delicious food and great fellowship. Before I could log onto my blog I saw a beautiful video posted on Facebook by my home church in Abbotsford. The video was created by the members of the church as a touching reminder that we have so much to be thankful for. On a morning that I felt came way too early with a grouchy little boy, a clumsy dog and a coffee pot that just never seems to brew quickly enough I was brought to tears of gratitude. I too am thankful for friends and family, good food to eat and the gift of music but this morning I find myself overwhelmingly thankful for a little church in the countryside of Abbotsford. A church that ushered me into their arms almost twelve years ago. A church filled with people who loved me and drew me into the relationship I now have with the Lord. A church filled with generous pie bakers, dedicated Sunday school teachers, gracious children's ministry leaders, God fearing leadership and many loving arms that welcome me home each time I make it through the doors. Though the building has changed, new faces arrived and familiar faces have either gone off to be with the Lord or journeyed on somewhere else like myself this morning I am incredibly thankful for you Arnold Community Church.
While I tried to embed this video into my blog posting today it hasn't seemed to work. Hopefully this link will.
