Extended Family

October 11, 2007 (4:38 pm) by Erin

We have been blessed with a wonderful “extended family” in our LIFE group from church. There are 5 families that meet (formally) every other week for dinner, Bible study and prayer. I love how our friendships have grown stronger over the years. We can trust each other with our kids, help ourselves to each others pantry’s and refrigerators, and more importantly trust each other with our joys, celebrations, fears and struggles.

At times when I go to LIFE Group without Kevin (b/c he’s studying), Brett or Jenny jump at the chance to keep Lucas entertained during dinner, or our pastor helps get a plate of food for Ethan and everyone cares when Kevin’s not able to join us. I love our “extended family” dearly and feel so blessed to do LIFE with them!
