Thankful Thursday

"And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends"

Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith

This song came to mind after talking with a not-yet-believing neighbor yesterday afternoon.  He asked about Micah's grad party and how we happened to have it at LivingWATERS Church.  I shared the story and he asked where we really were attending church.  

It was an interesting answer - Micah attends youth group and Bible study at LivingWATERS; I attend Bible study at Trinity; we're members of Trinity and just had a blast doing Vacation Bible School there; we're attending Berean weekend services.

So what am I thankful for?  That when Jesus is in the middle of your friendship, it really doesn't matter where you attend church . . .

"But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong"
Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith
