Worshiping at home

Hello,

Having the worship service live streamed has brought a new realization to my life that God is in our home. We have done devotions here in our house for many years, but there was always separateness to the Sunday service. Somehow this year long, different way of worshiping makes God seem closer to everyday life. It is difficult to put God out to the edge of life when God is not reigning from a church building. This just came to me after church this morning.

 

Both of my Thanksgiving cacti are going to bloom once more. This could be the fourth time this year, but I am not so sure always when one session ends and another begins. The white one has four buds coming with one spent blossom hanging on. The pink has 27 buds with one open from the last go around. The new ones are a bit smaller so there will be a short break. I did not even count all of the buds because some of them were so small that I am not convinced they will manage to open.

 

Yesterday, we ate winter onions from our front garden. They could still use a few more days. Plus I did not take the bulbs apart last fall when they fell to the ground; consequently it is very difficult to get up the largest without disturbing the entire clump. Several bulb clumps were still on the top of the ground with small green sprouts. After breaking them apart, turning them the right direction, they are now in the ground, but not very deep. Hopefully we will be eating them in less than a month.

 

We have learned we can have our former community garden space this year. Those of us on the committee are so happy because that was a much better place. The garden has not been so productive the last two years or has it been three years?
