Flooded... When Small Group Members are Jesus, and Family
We live in a suburb of Nashville, TN. The Nashville floods of 2010 are unprecedented in this part of the country. This week my mother’s place, like so many other people’s homes, has experienced significant water damage. Even before the rivers reached their apex one of the men in our group suggested we adopt my mother’s home and help with clean-up, repairs, etc… This week we’ll be doing our meeting at mom’s place. We’ll be moving furniture, ripping up carpet, cleaning up as much of the mess as possible, and encouraging her. Looks like some of the group members may even choose to help with the cost of new carpet. This widowed senior adult knows she has friends, fellow followers of Christ who care.
My life is small groups and sometimes my group is life. I will forever be indebted and will never forget those moments when our small group is also family. This is one of those times.
P.S. Every small group in our church, The Bridge in Spring Hill, Tennessee is now adopting a household affected by the flooding.
