Why do I get up and go to church every Sunday? I really love to sleep in, but then I would miss:
- Smiles
- An opportunity to sing boisterously and unabashedly
- The chance to be with a community of believers who bring their joys, cares and concerns to God.
- The opportunity to hear another person tell the stories of God.
- A quiet time for me to reflect upon how God is working in my life.
- Faith-sharing.
- A time to visit with my friends, (who also feel compelled to get up on Sunday mornings.)
- Hugs. Lots and lots of hugs.
- Shy little girls who sing along with the hymns, even before they have learned to read.
- Family. Not biological family, but brothers and sisters in Christ.
- Food for body and soul. Spiritual food to help me thru another week. Lunch out with friends to help me make it to my Sunday afternoon nap.
- Did I mention that I like to sing? Loudly and often. God is so very good!
- Peaceful, safe sanctuary.
That's all for now. Maybe more later.
I wonder what an everyday Christian looks like....... hmmm.........
