Jewells of Thought

Why does it feel like a decade sometimes happens in the span of one Sunday?

This morning I woke up underneath a shadow it seems. The night before left my thoughts in a twisted mess. Sundays were always Church days but as equally important all of our family was at church both services and sometimes a third one if we were in a youth group before the evening service.

Anyhow, after last night and knowing this was our family reunion day I was kind of thinking too much I suppose. We also had my niece due to the reunion which is another part of this since I had already ruled out Sunday School, I texted her to see if she was awake. Minutes later I got a reply, but when I asked about her coming to church she said “I can’t.” This happened within 15 minutes before I needed to leave to get to church. I almost didn’t go to church with all these emotions boiling up.

However, after letting the emotions fizz out I was determined to still go and sit with Grandma at Church. I’m glad I did! We had a good turnout with a surprise we weren’t expecting today. Preacher Adams returned to church after being absent for months. We were all happy to see him this morning.

Then tonight I finally made it back to Fellowship for the evening service after missing most of the summer due to my troubles with tendonitis and my allergic reactions to the medicine and Epsom salt. It was a long couple of months, but it was really good to be back at church with my family. If only more of my family would be with me at church where they also belong.
