Blessings

Where but Fellowship Baptist can I drive home from church with a five-gallon bucket of mulch and a dozen eggs on the front seat, from two fellow members? Once home, to be able to make a salad with tomatoes and cucumbers from another member, and zucchini bread from another member's garden. I love my church.

I realize that's not all that church is about. But it's a huge part. We are commanded to love one another. And what better way to show our love but by giving. This has been demonstrated over and over by Christ Himself when He fed the crowds, or when He filled the nets of the fishermen, or healed the sick and made the blind see. And the most precious gift of all: when He gave His life so that we might live.
