"Now I would that ye should understand that the word of God was liberal unto all, that none were deprived of the privilege of assembling themselves together to hear the word of God."
Alma 6:5
Reading this made me smile today, at the reference to "assembling" or going to church as a privilege. It definitely is that, but we so often think of it otherwise, as an obligation or a chore. The fact that God shares his word with all of us, and that we can freely meet with others and share notes about striving for perfection and offer support and strength to each other... that's amazing, and an opportunity to cherish and avail ourselves of. Today, let's remember what a blessing it is to be able to attend church and to find fellowship there, and thank God for that and so many other ways that he brings his word into our lives. :)
