Christmas Party

My husband and I belong to a motorcycle ministry that is affilated with our church. It consist of a group of people who share the love of riding motorcycle in addition to sharing their love of Jesus Christ. Saturday was our annual Christmas Party. It was a potluck and gift exchange. Well, it was pouring down raining and my husband was beginning to get irritated because he thought he had lost his cell phone. He mentioned that he would rather stay at home on this very cold and rainy night. I, on the other hand, am usually the one who would rather stay at home. For some strange reason, I wanted to attend the Christmas party. I had spent a good part of the day searching for a gift and dessert to bring to the party. I convinced my husband that we should go and he finally agreed.

I am very happy that we decided to go because we had a great time. The food was good, but the fellowship with our fellow members was better. Several people shared their testimony about how the Lord has blessed them this year by either protecting them while being involved in very serious accidents while riding their bikes. Another couple shared how they found love and marriage. My husband shared his testimony about how God has protected him in various instances where he could have been killed, and wondered why God had spared his life several times.

It was a very touching experience. I believe that God allows us to be in the midst of situations so that we will realize that it is only by HIS power and grace that we are spared. That we would recognize that our lives are in HIS hands and that we can trust HIM in every situation.

I am grateful for the fellowship and experience that we shared with our motorcycle friends. Lets try to show our appreciation for God, family and friends on a daily basis.

Have a blessed day!
