Last time you were here we felt a different atmosphere couldn’t recover from the feeling of your smile.
Then I watched out for you the next Sunday, I Prayed Monday to Saturday that I may see that beautiful smile in you.
But you weren’t here my friend, didn’t see you till service end. Seemed the Old serpent spoke to you that weekend. How scared I was, the thought of loosing you to his wicked serpent. For he’s such a callous liar, Deceit is his signature.
Then today, so anxious as I ponder in my heart about you. If only I could asked for your contact, I looked up aimlessly into the clouds. A call might have at least confirmed my doubt
Then I saw you being ushered in like a royalty. How I jumped and screamed in my mind “My friend is back home”, to his very father’s house.
Church is fun friend, just when you’re here.
Church is fun when we shout, sing, scream and rejoice
Church is fun friend, I’m so glad to be here.
Church is fun My friend, just when you’re here!
my question for my fellow bloggers is “who is that person that gives you joy when both of you are together singing, shouting and praising God?”
May God bless you?

My best friend
Mostly because we point out the funny people in the congregation and laugh our heart out 😂😂
But most importantly….because we both love God 😇

I like the story here. To my understanding of the poem/creative writing…the friend died right? haha
But yes, it’s true. There’s great joy when we see friends in church.

I’m currently in a country that forbids Christmas celebrations. 🙂 We have family gatherings with other Christian friends though. 🙂

Sadly, I do not attend church anymore. My church family let me down at a time when I needed their spirit to lift me up. I have my beliefs and do find happiness in finding others who feel as I do. I rejoice in the positive impact a kind word or gesture can have upon another. More kindness = more positive outcomes.
My feeling of happiness isn’t necessarily at the sight of an individual, but in remembering the impact they made on myself and/ or others.
God’s love (or other spiritual guide) shines on and can be celebrated through our actions.
Hope you have a blessed Christmas!

Am a freethinker also. Church is not my thing.
You can get a good read about kindness in one of my post- https://patrickrealstories.wordpress.com/2019/09/14/a-view-on-kindness-meaning-benefits-practise-and-inspirational-quotes/

I have a friend who if he isn’t in church, I don’t feel happy about it. Our passion for Christ is exceptional.
This reminded me a lot of him. Thank you for sharing.
