October Wanderings


~ Hello Dear Friends ~
It is a glorious October day! Did you have a good week? What was something nice that happened in it?

Here were my silly church wanderings this morning. I hope they make you smile!

It was such a lovely morning at church today. The choir was singing beautifully and the sun was twinkling in through the window to the right of me. It was just perfect…

I had one long pew all to myself. However, it soon seemed I’d picked just the spot when the sun began to beam directly down on me. I tried to sit still and not be shifty. I didn’t want to draw attention. But I became blinded and could hardly see the choir or the minister. I was squinting and my ring was making a sun cat on the pew ahead of me. The beam was so bright in my eyes, I wondered if it could laser off my glasses (like with a magnifying glass) and start a bible smoking? So quietly, I scooted myself a foot down the pew. But the sun followed me a few minutes later. I therefore gently moved another foot. Very soon, another. I was trying to be discreet. But I was traveling down the pew. Ultimately I did escape that very intense sun beam by moving back to my original spot, which the sun had now passed. If you’d seen me, you might have chuckled. I almost did. Musical chairs when God’s glory shines down!

As I listened to the incandescent singing in the choir, I observed two angel statues on either side of the dais. The angels appeared to be kneeling, praying. I adore those sweet statues.
As I considered them, I thought of angels in heaven, singing praises eternally. But then I thought of eternity, and how I wouldn’t be able to last one hour of singing and praising before I’d need a snack. After all, I’m just a fallible human. I can’t comprehend eternity. Nor existence without cookie breaks. I wondered if there were snacks in heaven? Certainly a thought to chide myself with. Why will my spirit need snacks!? It will be on to greater things for goodness’ sake!

After I got home from church, no closer to grasping eternity and being okay with that, I had some cookies.
Stay Inspired!
