To Live Is Christ

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. — Philippians 1:20-21

Today is the start of Rosh Hashanah, where people begin reflect on God's goodness and and thank Him for the blessings He gives us.

I am blessed by a wonderful family and good Christian friends.

We hosted a fellowship group last night.

Several people were not able to make it, but we had a great time with the couple who did come.

We ate delicious appetizers, caught up with each other, shared the latest news about our kids, and took turns reading and listening to Philippians together.

We talked about the sermon our pastor gave Saturday night and the action steps we would plan to take.

And we thanked God for our blessings.
