Church Attendance

     Before I continue to post my devotional articles, I would like to spend some time journaling about God's working in my life. I had the privilege of being raised in a Christian home - but that came about by difficult circumstances.

     My mother divorced and remarried before I was five years old. She was a Christian, but had not been attending church when she met my step-father. When they married, she said she wanted the kind of family that sat together in church every Sunday.

     That simple decision they made to attend church regularly had a profound impact on my life, and eventually on the lives of my children and grandchildren. It was at church that I accepted Jesus as my personal Saviour. It was at junior camp where I decided to rededicate my life to Him, praying, "Lord, I want to be what you want me to be." It was at youth camp that I decided to attend Bible College and it was in the college youth group that I met a new Christian who later became my husband.
