Family Day Holiday

I was at the cemetary yesterday. Some families were having a picnic near the graves of their loved one. I took some fresh flours and retrieved the reefs that were preferred over the winter. I was disappointed to find that the vase's cap disappeared so the water just slipped out into the hole. On Tuesday, after Family Day, the maintenance people will put a cap on it, so once again, I can take fresh flowers to Deborah's grave. Little things throughout the day make it impossible to celebrate. Even the phrase 'baby girl' some of her friends referred to her as, is like a sharp sword in my side. Family day without Deborah? Impossible.
The little relief I felt was during church today, when we worshiped with beautiful songs. I felt that I was communicating not just with God, but that Deborah participated in the worship with me. Her beautiful spirit was with us as we glorified God together. It is very important to pray two or more of us.. the bare minimum is two people be in agreement. Only then does the power of God flow. We must be plugged into God through His Holy Spirit. The pastor illustrated this with an electric cord and the plug on a wall. If we are not plugged in to God, we have no Power. I thank God for filling me with his Holy Spirit a long time ago. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is essential to experience the power of God.
As I sit here, by myself so close to family day, I must have the bigger picture in my heart.. The family of God. I will never be alone. I may feel lonely, but I feel the power of God, with the knowledge that God's family is incredibly large, and I am a small part of it. Come Lord Jesus, Come.
