The Afterglow of Pentecost = Life Together

My dearest brothers and sisters in God's Family of faith, hope, and love. I offer to you today, these passionate and powerful New Testament words, :

The Afterglow of Pentecost
(41) On that day about three thousand believed his (The Apostle Peter's) message and were baptized. (42)They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together.

Life Together Among the Lord's Followers
(43) Everyone was amazed by the many miracles and wonders that the apostles worked. (44) All the Lord's followers often met together, and they shared everything they had. (45) They would sell their property and possessions and give the money to whoever needed it. (46) Day after day they met together in the temple. They broke bread together in different homes and shared their food happily and freely, (47) while praising God. Everyone liked them, and each day the Lord added to their group others who were being saved.
-- Acts 2:41-47 (CEV)

Lord, be glorified in our Unity today and day-by-day, I pray.
Grateful
