Yesterday we attended a new church. We returned for the evening service as well.

This church is a small church and does not really have a nursery worker in the evening service

though the nursery is offered for you to use, if needed...

 which we knew before we returned.

I have always loved the idea of family worship but, unfortuneately,

we have not quite incorporated it into our family fully.

We have often, in the past, kept the lil' girls with us during the singing portion

of the service but not through the entire service.

Well, yesterday evening we did sit in the service together as an entire family 

with great success, by the grace of God.

I was amazed (though I shouldn't have been - He IS able) that our lil' girls

sat through the entire service very well. We barely got a peep from them!

We do not allow our children to do anything in church except sit and listen

so this was especially a big deal.

What a blessing the Lord gave us!

In addition, while driving home, hubby commented how he really liked

that we were all in the service together... as a family.

Again, I was surprised (though, again, I shouldn't have been)

that hubby saw that as being such a positive thing.

Not just an 'okay' thing, but he really, really liked it!

We sang "Showers of Blessings" in the morning service

and, oh, how it fit the day. The Lord showered His blessings on us... on me.

What a blessed Lord's Day it truly was!

"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord."

~ Psalm 122:1
