After two years of stabilization... where the mini-Edenites are old enough and healthy enough to allow their parents to come to fellowship on a consistent basis... here we go again. Another round of new borns... and perhaps another year or two of "arrive late", "leave early", "flu season - stay away!" Haven't had that consistency... the momentum... the rhythm of a true fellowship. Maybe that's what young couple's fellowships are about.
Then all of a sudden... we have two new families join us. And not just family... but FAMILY!!!!
A couple who's expecting in May. And a couple...with two kids... their mom and dad... and the wife's younger brother. WOW!!! Our house isn't small.... but we were out of room. We made plenty of food... but not enough to fill that many people.
Luckily... not all the regular Edenites showed up. Otherwise, we'll really be out of space. I love a family environment. I love having grandma and grandpa and uncles around. Eden Fellowship is NOT just a young couple's fellowship. But a fellowship for families. Yet, no matter how welcoming I try to be... we simply can not have 5-10 toddlers running around the house.
How will we ever survive....?
