The last couple of days have presented valuable opportunities to share with family and friends over fellowship meals. On Friday evening it was to quietly celebrate a 37th birthday [Happy Birthday to me!], while last night it was a vibrant and entertaining 70th birthday celebration. Both events were enjoyable, though to compare them would be like comparing apples and oranges!
A common link between the two fellowship meals was the company that gathered. The very different guest lists were each reflective of two factors ~ influence and faith. There is great reward in gathering together with people of influence and faith. For when we do inspiration abounds.
It's interesting to note, too, that people of faith are most effective when they open themselves up to God's leading to be influential encouragers in the lives of others.
Acts 2:42 (MSG) ~ "They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers."
