No, this chicken is not dead. She is merely resting. And, yes, this is my flower garden. This "lady" considers it her second home. Most days,she is content to just lay there, roll in the dirt a bit, and scratch and peck for bugs. More often than not, she leaves my flowers alone. Not a typical place for a chicken, but she feels "right at home".
Much the same as we feel about our family worship right now. For many years, actually since we were both very young, my husband and I grew up in a local church. We continued down this path in our married life, raising our three sons and playing an active part in all the ministries of the church. But God had other plans for us, you see (as He so often does), and a little over a year ago He began prompting us to worship at home, as the New Testament churches did.
So, now we worship in a way that is not so typical for midcoast Maine. We trust in the Lord that He will direct us and will introduce us to others that may want to join us...if it is in His will. In just the past two days, my son Joshua had two different people that he mows for ask him where he worships and he was able to tell them about our "home church".
Coincidence??? I think not.
God is good and we feel "right at home".
P.S. If you attend a home church, I would love to hear about your experience!
