Meire’s Birthday
Our last cell meeting was very special. We celebrated Meire’s birthday. She has turned 31 this Thursday, May 6th. Meire is part of our church since 2009 and became a member in September, after she decided to follow Jesus and stay with us in Church.
Joana, Meire’s sister, and some other relatives of her prepared the food and all the cell members were there. This was an evangelistic occasion, because we could be together with many people related to Meire and they have seen how God is working in her life.
The “birthday party cell meeting” started with each one of the participants saying blessing words for Meire. After that we sang a worship song and a fellowship song. I had a little word based in Psalm 90.12: “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”
I invited everybody to take a minute to reflect about how we a living our lives and how are going to get wisdom. We can’t just think about our short life when we go to a funeral. Birthday is a glad opportunity to think and take the right decisions for our future.
I prayed for Meire and for all the participants, so that we find all the wisdom in God, following Jesus and focusing in His way and will. That’s the only way!The party continued with pizza, sandwiches, snacks, soft rinks and much joy! God blessed our evening, touching everybody present there.
