We are enjoying the privilege of having the Featherstone family with us at church today. Bro. Lyle Featherstone contacted me out of the blue about the music ministry he and his family have. We planned to have “I Love My Church” emphasis today and I thought it would be a good opportunity to have them come.
He and his brother are exceptional musicians and his wife Emily beautifully sings the songs she has written about her growth as a Christian. They have been a great blessing.
Even better than their music was their companionship. Anyone who is a Christian knows the commonality we all have. It doesn’t matter where you come from or where you live, but Jesus starts us on common ground. On top of being Christian, serving Him in a pastoral capacity gave us even more to discuss.
It’s truly an amazing thing to sit down with folks you met a few hours ago and talk as though you have been friends your whole life. Let me encourage you to find some godly friends to talk to.
Proverbs 27:17: Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
