Here We Are to Worship!

When I was little, I loved climbing the fence and going to my neighbor’s house. Joseph, a carpenter, made me a set of little steps so I wouldn’t snag my clothes on the chain-link fence when I jumped down. They left their garage door open for me to come through whenever I wanted to and told me where the hidden key was incase they forgot. Once inside, I’d usually find Mary baking or painting as she was an amazing artist and teacher.

Yes, their names really are Joseph and Mary. Yes, Joseph is a carpenter. And yes, they are Christian. In fact, growing up they were the most devout Christians I knew. At their house, we prayed over all of our snacks and meals. Scripture lined the walls. Bibles were all over the house and crosses hung on many walls. The Christian or Gospel station was always playing in their home. Joseph created a giant manger for their front yard and they waited to put baby Jesus inside until Christmas morning. Their home was always warm, it often smelled like cookies, and it sounded like church.

So, today, let us find warmth, comfort, and make our homes sound like church! Today, I invite you to turn up the praise and worship in your house. Praise God as you bake cookies, clean, organize, work, or get ready this morning.

I made a worship playlist for you with some of my favorites: Click here to worship with me! (There are some great videos on this list too!)
