We are Family

Lori and I and our friend Lee just returned from Church in Layette Oregon. A small community Church packed with fellow believers . It stuck me that world wide Christians of every tribe and tongue have been gathering , celebrating Jesus , praising him worshiping Him , asking Him for an ease to their burdens . Sometimes we may confine God into the width and breadth of our individual sanctuaries . We begin to think His servants look like the person sitting next to us in the pews ...Our understanding of His church on the planet is often too small .
Here in Oregon we celebrated communion ..How many lips touched the wine /juice today ? How many took the bread ..Hands of Carpenters , and Housewives , of doctors and lawyers , of elected officials and grocery store clerks , hands of students and hands of retired golden agers ....God reminds me of His vast army and then in an instant reminds me of His immediate presence . I am introduced to a man and wife who are moving from Oregon to Tennessee. I ask them where in Tennessee and they say Nashville , and i ask where in Nashville and they say Mt Juliet . The Kingdom is big enough for all of us to Fit , and it fits us all .
I Just finished listening to Pastor Ronnie , speaking on submitting to Authority ...I Can see your faces on Facebook...The man in the Seat next to me in Church can be within my reach or half a world away ...but no matter where we are united by Him ,,,we are purposed in Him and in time we will dine with Him ....Millions of us all together at the Feast ....Each sitting with HIM .....amazing !!!!
