This morning was a real treat for me. All five of us attended church together! This is something we used to do every Sunday, but as the kids have gone off to college, they haven't attended, and we haven't made them attend when they live here in the summer.

But today was different. I felt so blessed having them around for Thanksgiving, that I couldn't stand the thought of us not going to church to thank God for our health and safety, among other things.

So Ross anounced that we would be attending the 10:00 service as a family.

And while we still got the:

"Are you kidding? You're making us go to church?'
"I'm not going."
"There's no way I'm getting up that early."
ETC!

They all got up, showered, dressed, and made it out the door in time. A miracle!

There is nothing better than sitting in church surrounded by loved ones, knowing they are all together, safe and sound, and maybe hearing a little of the gospel. Maybe, even through shut eye.

God is so good.

If you raised your children as church go-ers, and they are now young adults, do they attend church? I'd love to hear.
