Sense of Humor
Do you think God has a sense of humor? Well, it seems abstract to me but I think he does. I was sitting here thinking about my little Women's Group. I started two groups at my church and both of them have moved so slowly.
Well, my Women's Group is early in the morning because it really is the only time I have extra. I have had people complain that it is so early; but I kept it going. Not knowing how long to keep my ghost town of a group going I prayed, "God I will keep this group open until I don't have one person come." For over a year, one person would come. Not the same person, but one. It started to be funny as I knew that each week- one would show. So I kept going. It was the same for my prayer group. For over a year- one.
Now both groups are slowly building. My Women's Group has climbed to 3 or 4 depending on the week; and my Prayer Group is up to four also. My Prayer Group is in year three, and my Women's Group year two. I am not discouraged. Because both are so small they have a special flavor. We get to know each other deeper and are much closer. Our relationships are personal and I thank God for that "just one" that kept coming.
So- I will just smile at how God has been doing things; and continue to keep praying for these small but mighty groups.
Enjoy pictures of some of my members. They are wonder women I respect so much.
