There was no gathering in our home today. The taking of today off was planned long in advance by our Sunday group.
I've done commentary on the whys and wherefores of not gathering in the past. Again, we see no reason, based on what the Bible teaches or models, to think that gathering itself is regarded by the Lord as an act of righteousness, so we feel no pressure to gather so long as we don't neglect gathering. Gathering, in the New Testament, we believe, serves to promote acts of righteousness, or, love and good works.
I will add that hosting takes a toll on us, as rewarding as it ultimately is, perhaps due to the fact that we are both introverts.
Today is a much-anticipated day off for us.
