Brunch and Lamentations??

My Mom and I attended a Ladies Brunch at our church today. The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone seemed to have a "favorite" on the buffet table. We had egg bakes, fruit, coffee cakes, muffins etc.

We also had a wonderful guest speaker, Jena, who is a missionary serving with Campus Crusade.

So why did we "lament?"

Our speaker took us through several lamentations in the book of Psalms. We broke into small groups and read several of David's laments. We came away with a greater understanding of what it means to lament, and how it is O.K. with God if we do lament.

God hears our lamentations. He desires to heal us and causes others to worship Him as we come through the despair into Praise.
