big church (does size matter?)

Yeah, I guess I'm pretty happy with my church's size. It seems there's always someone that God has richly blessed to my left, to my right, and all around. There's typically a message in the air that is either challenging or comforting, and fellowship happens all the time. I get to celebrate God, talk about him freely, share the blessings and the joy, and live out my freedom in Christ is so many ways. I get to express, without a word, the fruits of the Spirit, and when I stumble, I know right away, because He is right there with me. I even get to see folks who never met Him yet, and hope to make the introduction as the Lord directs the time and my words (if I keep still and LISTEN...!)

And, yup, all of this happens Monday through Friday, and sometimes Saturdays..! (but I rest up on Sundays). And, of course, on Sundays my family and I fellowship with friends, new and old, and celebrate the Love of Christ we were all so priveleged to live in all week long. And, just maybe, we'll pick up some "new" wisdom from our pastor to apply to our lives, and pass along too.

Guess it's fair to say that all our churches are as "big" as we want them to be, Monday thru Saturday, and it all depends how much we serve, unconditionally, to everyone around us all week, because I think that's what Jesus meant us to be for Him... That, to me, "the seven day deal", is the church... life to the fullest!
