Showers of Blessings\u00a0 Day 8<\/span>
\nBlessing: \u00a0Blessed with Companionship<\/span>
\n<\/em>I am a companion of all who [reverently] fear You, And of those who keep and<\/em>\u00a0honor Your precepts..\u00a0 Psalm 119:63 AMP

\nMessage:
\n<\/u>When I told a co-worker I was going out to lunch with my family, she looked surprised.\u00a0 \u201cI thought you said your family didn\u2019t live near you\u201d she said.
\n\u201cOh!\u201d I smiled and replied, \u201cIt\u2019s a special birthday luncheon with some of my church family!\u201d
\nThe co-worker looked a bit puzzled, but said, \u201cWell, that\u2019s nice. It must be nice to have two families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Believers, we who fear the Lord are all united, we are fellow believers, who walk in one accord, and we should give thanks for one another, pray for one another and encourage one another as we walk together in the way of the Lord.
\nWe are a family as Ephesians 2:19 says \u201cyou are no longer strangers and aliens [outsiders without rights of citizenship], but you are fellow citizens with the saints (God\u2019s people), and are [members] of God\u2019s household,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, let’s give thanks that because of Jesus, we are part of God’s family and that we have fellow believers in our life.<\/p>\n
