Together

There's something about eating breakfast together

and talking into the wee hours of the night together

and loving on twin baby boys together

and relaxing together

and having an absolute

BLAST

together

and conquering things together (this was harder than it looks)

and balaughing- I mean laughing- together until your stomach hurts.

More than anything else, there's something about loving God together.

As Saturday's sun was sliding down to the horizon making everything all golden and beautiful, we were running out the clock on our boat rental for the day, circling the lake and taking it all in. We sang and hummed and stared at the beauty around us, proclaiming that our God is mighty to save- that He has conquered the grave. Later, we laughed some more, we marveled at an amazing night sky, and we lifted up our hearts to our Creator- together- this morning.

This weekend was a celebration of sorts- our little group had studied the book of Daniel this past year and we're looking forward to a study on Heaven this fall.

After years of doing this small group thing, I've realized that there's just something about growing in the Lord and doing life- together. The fertilizer of His love makes the roots of relationship grow deep and strong. It's a blessing beyond measure.

So here's to many more years- together.

"How good and how pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!" Psalm 133:1
