We should do this more

How many times have I uttered or heard uttered the phrase "we should do this more often." Yesterday was one of those occasions. We joined with two other churches from our area for a joint service and festival. The attendance was fantastic, each church had a strong showing. Our worship was incredible. The chili and pie contests were tons of fun to judge, and the festival booths turned out to be a lot of fun for everyone.

The only comment uttered was why don't we do this more often? It's the same comment I say after hanging out with friends or going to do something I really enjoyed. How great it was to see our church people sitting with friends and acquaintances from other churches. We shared one common interest and goal yesterday...to celebrate Christ.

Last night, my wife asked me if we were planning to keep our "budget date" this Thursday where we plan our spending for November. Her thoughts on the matter, "we should do this more often." It is a a one purpose meeting...to make sure we are on the same page financially which is even more important given the state of the economy. It ensures we are on the same page and our relationship is better for it.

It is a good reminder that when we come together with one clear purpose, we have one heartbeat and we are always left saying, "why don't we do this more."

Have a great week.
