Life Together

The grey soft fog and overcast skies soften the morning as I silently sit here with my Father in Heaven. So much to be grateful for, so in silence I just sit silent grateful.
I don't need words or lists , I just enjoy grateful and his heart for this moment.
Treasuring GOD, loving him, enjoying how much he treasures me, my spirit rests so contentedly in our moment.
IT is spring time, nature is growing like crazy, new leaves sprouting their own new color codgers up ones need to tend to new life.
My sweet wife is frying up some eggs and I think back to the many places I have had memorable breakfasts.
I recall being out in the sand in a desert farming village in Mexico. No furniture, no running water, no electricity, 50 miles to the nearest paved road. Breakfast cooked over an open fire.
I remember the morning light and the village waking up and moving toward the duties of the day.
A different world in some respect but not as much as you would think. Husbands still kissed their wives and children goodbye as they headed out for work. Laundry had to be done and dishes washed. But in this village there was a family connection. You could feel the connectedness of belonging being a part of all the rhythm of life that made up the village.
This is the way GOD intended "church" to be , the inclusion of himself in our lives as together we live out our every days. There is a rumbling in me that says , lets get GOD out of the church building and into our homes. Not with programs but in simple genuine enjoyment of him with each other and with our children. Let's drop the structure of meetings and watch GODs spirit move naturally like we live life.
Jesus didn't come to set up meetings and programs he came with his spirit so that we might live life in real time with and with each other.
This doesn't mean we do away with bible studies and worship . What is different is the reason and purpose in what were doing. Our reason is to know GOD relationally more and our purpose is follow after him with ALLLL our heart.
Head knowledge only bible studies, was really what was going on with the pharisees and Sadducee's in Jesus time. In fact if you look at Jesus he didn't come to earth to reform the church structure , he came smack dab for the hearts and everyday lives of the people.
Just as that desert village had a natural way of sharing life together so also GOD desires his children to live in him in love.
