Nap Time

Like many of us look forward with eager anticipation to an upcoming vacation or Christmas, the church building looks forward to the week between Christmas and New Year's. The last week of December is the one week of the year that the building enjoys peace. The other 51 weeks of the year, there are activities going on day and night between the children, youth and adult activities, the school ministry and the daycare ministry. Other ministries take breaks a different points during the year, but because it provides childcare to families who have to work at all times, the daycare remains open but for the major holidays.

I praise God for providing us with a facility that can handle those demands. With the amount of use our building gets, it’s holding up really well.

I praise God that we have ministries that utilize the building so heavily, maximizing it’s full potential. Our investment in this building is reaping huge returns.

I think the building is ready to curl up on the sofa with a nice warm blanket and take a weeklong nap. Then again, so am I.
