I posted this on my blog, but thought it relates well to what we've been reading in Francis Chan's book.
Real Love
When we became your bride,
we vowed eternal love,
that we'd stay by your side,
eyes fixed on you above.
How quickly those eyes strayed!
Our first love was replaced,
by idols man has made
and we felt no disgrace.
Believing we're still yours,
never bearing our cross,
wanting to live secure,
not sharing with the lost.
Thinking or fate is sealed,
(we said the sinners prayer)
how does it make you feel
when our hearts are elsewhere?
Looking in a mirror
we foget what we saw.
Obeying what we heard
shows love is not a fraud.
We're to give all we own
and rejoice in our pain.
Living for you alone;
heaven will be our gain.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gently and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30.

In 2006, a group of women started meeting together each week for prayer, encouragement and to read and discuss books together. We have managed to continue meeting each week, despite the business of our lives, illnesses, jobs, even with all our kids running around. We have shared our lives, encouraged each other, prayed for each other and learned more about the God who has saved us.
