Our cup of joy over flowed!

We were once again blessed immensely by the Neely Team! God truly knows what we need and when we need it. Being with those in the body of Christ is inspiring, uplifting, edifying, and down right WONDERFUL!!
Whenever we go to the Neely home we are sure to be met by one of the most energetic, enthusiastic and joyful families in all of North Carolina. 
And this time to make sure we did not miss the turn to their home, they came down to the edge of the highway and the road we were to turn on to (which is the place we usually get confused at) and waved us in! Is not that what the body of Christ suppose to do? To help one another from stumbling or missing their turn by encouraging them in the ways which we are to go??? 
Those three days went by so fast! We were sad to see the time come to an end but had a delightful time talking about the wonderful memories that were made from family soccer games, to singing and sharing testimonies around the camp fire to learning about the Neely specialty smores, which even some of the Wilkes team were daring enough to try! And then marching and singing up the highest mountain in Georgia together.
We so enjoyed joining you and the other families you fellowship with at your home on Sunday. The message that morning from Luke 14 on “What is your purpose in doing the things you do!” was powerful! I am so glad I took copious notes!
The Lord truly is at work all around the world and what a joy it is to get the privilege of seeing Him impact lives and hear testimonies of Him at work. We need this kind of encouragement, others need this kind of encouragement as well! It is so vital in our Christian walks. May we all be encouraged to be energy givers today!
What an inspiration it is to know that God is at work, through families all across the United States, changing lives and giving hope! He is setting apart many mighty families who are passing on the baton to the next generation through whom an even greater impact shall be made for Christ!
Let us ever look unto Jesus!
I enjoyed every part of our time with the Neely Team. You all are true energy givers not energy takers. Thankyou for inviting us down. I can’t wait till the next time.
What fun! Christian fellowship can be such a wonderful encouragement! You’ll have to tell us about the Neely specialty smores.
What an incredible bunch of energy givers! I’m invigorated just reading this post.
It is such a blessing to see families who love the Lord and love each other!
Being an energy-giver (even via blog post) glorifies the Lord as One Who is truly sovereign and all-sufficient. I don’t know how you could have encouraged me more! May He continue to be your all’s Energy-Giver.
I’ve recently been meditating on Ephesians 4. How refreshing it is to see its message being confirmed and lived out! “From whom [Christ] the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
