This Sunday just gone we went to lunch with some of our church family after the morning service.
I am so thankful for the way that these people have welcomed us into their lives. One of my favourite things about being part of a church family is being able to share life with people; to be able to share each others’ joys, achievements, doubts, struggles and mostly (and all-encompassing) sharing and encouraging each other in our walk with Christ : “And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works,not staying away from our worship meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25 (HCSB).
We had a great time taking the boys to their first experience of Yum Cha (my first in over a decade) at Sunny’s in Hurstville. We got a massive table and just squeezed 8 adults and 8 children around it. My boys were most taken by anything fried, and Finn liked the tea. I sat with Julie, Emma, ‘Gordon’ the beautiful bump and Louis, who educated me on the finer points of dining at a Yum Cha restaurant including tapping the table to say ‘thanks’ for the tea. After stuffing ourselves on dumplings the boys (Findlay, James, Harry and little Finn) played under the table while the rest of us (those mentioned plus Clint, Shane, Karen, Josh, Bella and Caitlin) enjoyed the twinkly red, gold and crystal interior of the restaurant, each others’ company and picking at the leftovers!
