Autumn Campfire

We had some excellent fellowship tonight. G & J had us over for an early fall campfire in their backyard. Much has happened in their lives since the last time we were together and they are facing big changes. They are trusting God with their future through it all.

The best of the best is when Christians can be open and real with each other. It is so refreshing to hear believers talk of the challenges of life with honesty and without pretense. It gives us the freedom to do the same.

One of the ways scripture describes this is, "bearing one another's burdens." Notice the wording of that phrase- it presumes that there are burdens.

With their family moving to Wisconsin, we won't have too many chances for this kind of time with them in the days ahead, but we're thankful that the Lord brought them our way for a while. And whatever opportunities we have to stay in touch will be a blessing.
