| first pie of apple season |
sitting on
old sofas
recliners
blue chairs
the low white table
in the middle too far from
anyone to be of much use
but to hold a purse maybe
and
today it's a little chilly
and
some days it's too hot
but the window units
drown us out
so we keep them off
i always sit on the left side
of the love seat
in front of the mysterious, plastic-wrapped
stained glass window
we laugh
we chat
we pray
we open our word
to romans and speak
questions
grace
truth
they, these people sitting in the
old elementary classroom,
are brothers and sisters
we share a father in heaven
we share power from the holy spirit
small group
bible study
sunday school
call it what you want
i call it
lovely

so lovely! and that pie looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnytime leftovers are left-over...you can find me in rm. 403.
ReplyDeleteAnd lovely it is! Very much so. Thank you, Kendal.
ReplyDeleteCall it what you want I call it
ReplyDeletelovely. That is a beautiful statement Kendal. Love it! :)
awwww...the sense of community as we commune with Our Father...
ReplyDeleteDoes it get any better?
Loved this...and the way it poured from your heart~
the smell of your bible...I totally get that. When I read that I immediately could smell mine in my nose. Love the list and the random half eaten apple pie pic.
ReplyDeleteYES! I knew I couldn't be the only one in the world who loves the smell of her Bible.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me smile. Thank you for sharing it!
so true... My Bible is My Bible...I have tried to buy others or new ones... but I always go to the same one I have had for decades... wish someone would have told me I would imprint so much to it, when I bought it...

I always sit in the same spot for our small group, too -- creature of habit, I guess.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of pie...I was away over the weekend, and when I got home, I found that my husband had baked me an apple pie! Oh heaven. It was baked yesterday -- tonight Noah and I finished it off. I make short work of apple pie around here!
Love that -- talking grace with friends who love God.
ReplyDeleteApples are on the menu here, too.
Convictions of a son filled my eyes with tears. "I find no greater joy than my children walk in truth."
There was a peacefulness in reading this, Kendall...a fragrance of God that I needed today.
ReplyDeleteMay He walk near, ~ linda
In my bible study, everyone sits in the same spot now, week after week, because that is there chair and no one else can fill it like they can.
ReplyDeleteoh yes, i call it lovely too, and something about your thankfuls always makes my heart overflow. love to you today, k.
ReplyDeleteYes. It is lovely. Very much so...
