Aaron and I are back in town, but we are still taking a Sunday off of Journey. We don't miss a Sunday often, so it's nice every once in awhile to stay home and catch the livestream.
It's good for us, and it's good for our other leaders to get along without us sometimes. Right guys? Right?
Just kidding. They don't need us at all, and we know that God will give them a great morning. We are spending the morning decorating for Christmas!
Thanksgiving is next week, you know...tis the season. I will post pictures later.
Anyway, I am thinking of all of our friends at Journey this morning, especially my crew in MiNi CiTy.
This month in MiNi CiTy we are continuing to learn about David. Last month we learned all about how God helped David do BIG things (and how He'll help us do BIG things too!).
This month, our bottom line is God gives me good friends.
We are looking mainly at David and his best friend Jonathan.
You see, David was just a young man when he defeated Goliath and he started to become pretty popular in Israel.
The king at the time, King Saul, well he didn't like that very much. After all, shouldn't the king be the favorite?!
Jonathan was King Saul's son, and he and David became the best of friends despite what Jonathan's own father thought of David.
Jonathan stood up for David and even helped save his life when Saul wanted to kill him.
God gave David good friends, like Jonathan, and He gives me and you good friends too!
Good friends are always there for each other, comfort each other, are honest with each other, and help each other love God more.
I love teaching our preschoolers that God will give them good friends as they continue to seek after Him.
“Two people are better than one. They can help each other in everything they do.” Ecclesiastes 4:9, NIrV
