This evening I was able to attend the life group I had joined last month for our weekly get together. We played with the refrigerator magnets and talked about movies, highs and lows, and eventually settled down to talk about prayer and what we can learn from children's prayers. It ranged from how our prayers have matured into seriously thinking what we are praying about instead of just saying words to the beautiful simplicity and honesty a child's prayer can contain. We ended the evening by talking discussing music from the 70s and 80s, making a road trip playlist, and laughing at all the minor issues we experienced that night.
It was a wonderful night, and it was especially precious since this is the only night I am able to attend this month. It reminded me of the education nights at Corner House-Lutheran Campus Ministry and Bible studies with the La Crosse Lutheran Youth Organization. Sometimes they were serious. Sometimes they were purely social. But we always ended up having a great time.
Today I am thankful for my life group and the social/educational/spiritual groups of which I have been a part.
