Our first Sunday was a pounding...

Today was our first Sunday at Lane Prairie.  Since it was the day after Christmas they were having just a morning worship service without small groups or the evening service.  And, it was the first Sunday in a LONG time that we didn't leave the house by 7am...I don't even think we were up by 7am!  On normal Sundays we will probably head out around 8 am...so that's still an extra hour for us...woohoo!

At the conclusion of the service we went forward to be introduced (again) and that's when we got the pounding.  Well, a food pounding that is.  I often joke that my boys (hubby included) have the love language of food.  Give them food, invite them over to eat, out to eat...whatever...they feel special when they are given food.  So, we were feeling the love today as we gazed over the sacks and sacks of groceries.  Casey and I unloaded them onto our dining table...and they are all still there.  Not sure where it's all going to go...but I'll find a place eventually.  (Under the sink perhaps?)  All the cans and groceries take up 1/2 of our dining room table (and it has the leaf in it!).  It was a very sweet welcome from a very friendly church.  And, we were hugged...a lot!  Josiah, who is not my shy child, was even a little overwhelmed with all the attention and hid behind me as people went by hugging and shaking our hands.  It was a good day.
