Talk About Worship...

I have to share about the coolest moment of worship that we shared as a family the other night... we were in Roscoe on our way home from Potter's Wheel when Cam suddenly turned the car around. I was kind of impatient with him (big shocker, I know), wondering what he was doing. Next thing I know, he had pulled into a cemetery next to a little church and stopped the car.

It was only then that I noticed the glorious sunset in the sky. Cam invited us to sit in silence and enjoy God's amazing gift of creation. Then we all sang "This is my Father's World" at the top of our lungs with Mars Hill's Worship CD (which, by the way, is the freshest, most Christ-centered worship music I've experienced in a LONG LONG time). We ended up getting out of the car, walking through the cemetery and talking about God and how grateful we were to be his children. I couldn't help but think about how I would have completely missed this entire memory if it weren't for Cam, who just has the gift of recognizing a moment and embracing it. Our family won't easily forget that sunset and the worship that transpired. May we all have eyes to see and the willingness to embrace God's amazing gifts to us.
