#LMMLinkup Community: Giving

Yesterday at church a little girl impressed me with her giving spirit.

Our church is a little different. We don’t sit in rows but at tables. We have a singing worship service in which the children stay and can color and listen quietly. One child found some small paper plates and began making figures on them. As we sung, she went around the room giving each of us a special paper plate, smiling at us. She loved the act of giving her creations to others.

I felt blessed by her giving spirit just as feel blessed by the giving spirit of our #LMMLinkup community.

This is not a pat post, but one that examines the real issues behind the verse: Romans 8:28.  It is a deep, provocative look this popular verse. I would not miss this very poignant post!

Hope for the New Year

Do you have hope for the new year? If we're honest, not all of us enter the new year with hopeful expectation. When the future appears bleak, we can lean into the source of Hope, Himself. We can find our hope in God. #hope #fear #newyear

Rachel takes a trip to a local pool with her children and turns it into a wonderful spiritual lesson. Be sure not to miss this post.

  4. I would love to hear more about your church! My husband is always saying how much he hates pews and wants people to interact more. We also love keeping children in the service, at a minimum for the singing and communion. Do you not have a sermon? Yours sounds wonderful! I have always loved going to “5th Sunday Sings” when it is all a capella.

  8. Mary,
    What a precious story! Those childlike hearts are such a blessing, aren’t they? I love the way that your church includes the little ones. My heart is so stirred by the precious joining with God’s heart when we all are connected in Him. Blessings to you!

  11. Sounds like an interesting way to worship, Mary. I’ve been in services where the children were allowed to come in toward the end to worship and mill about freely, but never the entire service. I think that’s wonderful how that little girl set out to bless those around her. And I’m also grateful that you noticed it and shared about her kind act here. It truly is the little things that matter the most sometimes. Thanks for hosting, my friend! Pinned!
