Barber Shop Fellowship

Well today I finally made it back to the barber, and it was a great experience. Although the chairs are similar, I much prefer the barber's chair over the dentist's chair. I sat in both today for about the same amount of time.

Recently an elderly customer was telling me about the old barbershops in Dalton. He said that there used to be showers in barber shops. Men would come to the barber shop for their weekly shower, shave, and a haircut. They also caught up on the latest news (or town gossip) and could have their shoes shined. One of the best things about the barber shop was the fellowship.

My tri p to the barber today had some of that old time barbershop flavor except for the shower, the shave, the shoe shine, and the gossip. Besides getting an excellent haircut, my barber,Tom, and I enjoyed a great time of sharing our faith. Tom attends EMC where he is a lay preacher.
What began as just a haircut, ended with two brothers sharing testimonies of the faithfulness of God.

In Acts 2:42 Luke records that fellowship was a regular practice of those who came to Christ on the day of Pentecost.

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching
and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

It was such a refreshing time that I just want to encourage you to devote yourself to fellowship.
When you do you may see ordinary events become extraordinay as we walk daily in faith and fellowship together. Have a blessed day.
