Gathering 7-10-16

Once or twice a summer, we fire up our cheap charcoal grill that we bought for a song at Big Lots and do burgers and doggies for the gang as a part of our, uh, Agape Meal.  This is one of those days.

Today's gang was only Evie, the gang from the home and me and the song time always goes well with this group.  Time in the Word can be a bit of a challenge with these people.  We spent a lot of that time today talking about Jesus saying that if we don't forgive those who sin against us our heavenly Father won't forgive us of our sins.

This is a challenge for all of us but it is especially difficult for some of them who have difficult roommates at the home.

I noticed that one of the guys was paying especially close attention that truth.

The bread and cup time was focused on the reality that we are responsible to practice forgiveness in order to be forgiven.  It was a moving time for me.

They really did appreciate the food.

All in all,  a blessed time.

One side note, we are becoming bit concerned about the guy I call Bonnie on this blog.  He has the mind of about a five year old.   But, he is really about 70.  He seems to be having memory issues that are a recent development and are wondering if this is an early sign of dementia.

It's so hard to tell with someone with his mental  disability.
