It was my turn to lead Bible study this morning. I think I did a serviceable job (and the ladies in the group were more than gracious in response to my effort), but what was most notable to me from the experience was the closing prayer.
Rather than having just one person take care of it as is our usual custom, we went around the circle and took turns praying for one another's expressed needs.
And I thought it was beautiful. In fact, I could actually feel the Holy Spirit bubbling up in my chest, which isn't exactly a routine experience for me. I almost asked if anyone else could feel it when we were leaving, but opted to keep it to myself.
So for those gifts --of being able to lift one another up and of feeling connected to God in such a tangible way-- I am thankful.
