We have been blessed to be a part of an amazing Life Group through our church. It is made up of five couples who altogether have nine kids. Most weeks we meet without the kids so we are able to focus on what we're studying. Right now we're going through a book called Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges. It is a very convicting book, and has already begun challenging me to look at my relationship with God in a deeper way.
We decided that once a month we would have a social which we would bring the kiddos to. Altogether that makes for a gathering of 19 people. Quite a party! In fact our first social was a celebration for the birthday of one of the kids. We gave the kids lots of sugar, and then the dads took them to the play room so us moms could have some time to talk. What amazing husbands we have! The picture above in of all the kids. You can spot Grayson playing "cool dude" in the shades. he and Paycen are a little outnumbered with all those girls!
I am so incredibly thankful for this group, and especially the women who I have been getting to know. We all love going thrift store shopping, so we'll occasionally have our own "socials" for shopping and a late dinner and talking. That makes for a pretty perfect night! What a blessing good friends are.
