52 Gratitudes 2019 | 7

I am thankful for our small group gatherings. Whether we meet at the Roach’s for a pot luck or a Low Country Boil for fellowship or to watch the Super Bowl, an annual event for our group, or we are meeting each Sunday night in our home for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer it is always - wonderful. Most of our group has stood by Jeff and I in our hardest of times, especially most recently, and the men have stood up to be present to lead our group until such a time as Jeff is ready to be re-instated in that role. We value their friendships. Do we wish and long for deeper still friendships? Yes, but we are blessed with what we’ve been given, for now, until such a time for more.
