with my Gram. At her church. Because that's where she wanted us. And we (mostly) still do what she tells us!
My Gram is the one who taught me about living out your faith. About choosing to belong to a body of believers who will then be your community. That to fully receive, you have to give. I can never thank her enough for that lesson. I can also never thank her church (First Christian Church of Chico) for all that they have been to her and for her over the years. She has a second family in that body and I am so very, very grateful for that gift.
Her wish was that we would fill up two pews. It's all she wanted for her birthday. So we delivered!
As a bonus gift, my Aunt joined the church that day as well.
After church, her church family sponsored the fellowship hour. Very sweet. She loved it.
And that brings us right up to the end of October! Tomorrow I will catch up on Halloween, then my Mom's birthday and then, quite frankly, I might skip around so that I can finely get back on track with this 'ole blog!
