Tonight, I had to work. When I got home, there was a house full of neighbors and friends that I was not quite ready for. I had this site on my mind and I was ready to settle in for the night. But that was not going to happen. God has a funny way of making that happen, doesn’t He?
Instead I settled in to games of music trivia and fellowship with friends and neighbors. That led us to a neighborhood restaurant that was celebrating the new year. This is where I see it most.
Everybody is looking for something to worship. New Year’s Eve is where many look for it. A new hope, another chance. It happens for many on this night. It is ironic that they go out to the places that are more than likely going to end up in disappointment, but I guess that is how it works.
So what is the point of this rant, you ask? My experience tonight brought about two things:
- Like the Book of Acts, neighbors come together to enjoy each other’s fellowship and rejoice in the joy of the Lord.
- If you haven’t found that fellowship, try a church instead of a watering hole.
This site may be about encouraging you to read the Bible this year, don’t discount the power of getting together with those that are doing the same. Give it a shot this year. It is pretty amazing. Good luck on finding the worship you are looking for this year. Happy New Year.
