This Sunday my husband will be running to Charlotte to pick up his mother. I have two choices, call it a day or figure out how to get myself, a 4 year old and a 3 month old to church. I'm going for the latter for a couple of reasons. First, there are many many single parents out there that get their kids to church every Sunday like it isn't a big deal. They make it look easy! God bless them! Whether single by separation or divorce, having a working spouse or even a spouse that doesn't attend worship, these parents do what it takes to make sure that their children are an active member of the body of Christ. Again, GOD BLESS THEM! Second, I'm sure that I'll have things to confess and thank God for on Sunday..."It is right to give thanks and praise". Lastly, the body of Christ is also my family. They recharge me, encourage me and pray for me. I hope I in turn am able to do the same.
So on Sunday, rain sleet flood or mud, the Long girls will be at church. We'll be going first to honor and praise the Lord, but on this Sunday, we will be there especially to honor those single worshipping parents and the glory they bring to God by their presence each and every Sunday.
