Simple Pleasures

Our life group met for the last gathering of 2012 today and had a tremendous feast. We enjoyed far too many calories and filled plates more times than was advisable. As the afternoon rain fell the children lounged lazily in the living room while the adults gathered around the dining room table. We shared Christmas memories, talked about 80's movies, laughed loudly & frequently, and shared common sorrows for the tragedy in Connecticut. It was an imperfectly perfect gathering of flawed people who are doing life together and working to become more of who God created us to be. I am grateful for such good friends and the love we have for each part of our extended family.
