Today I worked until 12:30 PM and then I joined Lily in the efforts to prepare for home-church in the afternoon. Lily invited a lot of friends to attend and offered to have anyone over for dinner afterwards. Attendance was amazing (probably around 12 adults and about the same amount of kids). The lesson was on the Trinity and it evolved into a discussion about how different people understand God. It was a beautiful and enriching discussion. For dinner, Lily made the most wonderful lasagna.
After church, people stayed, ate and chatted until almost 8. We had such a good time. I feel so happy when I’m around our beloved friends, and I’ve also noticed Lily being extra happy lately with all the hosting.
The kids have seemed very happy too (see Mary’s video below). It has just been a really happy summer.
I was so tired after hosting that I lay passed out on the couch while Lily was productive and cleaned and facilitated the kid watching fireworks. I eventually roused myself to help her. What a great day. It completely took me away from the stresses of work, and I felt kinship with other people who understand God as a mystery, but have deep desires include God in their lives.
