Recharge

Boy was I tired this morning. I stayed up for church, which was a bit rough since I was up early yesterday to go mini golfing. I planned on this because we had a visiting candidate for our open rector (head priest) position visiting. I am on the search committee and this is one of the three we narrowed it down to. We have one more visit and then we have to make a decision. Pray for us that we have the ability to discern the right rector for our church. It has been a long process and it has been way to long since we have had a rector.

Anyway, back on the topic I originally wanted to write about. I was tired, but oh was it so good to be there with God. I find it very uplifting. I know that there are those that when they walk into a church it’s more of a feeling of geese this building is stuffy. Not me. I FEEL. I mean I truly feel the spirit. It is difficult to put into words and impossible to convince those that do not believe. I hold no animosity toward those that do not, or more to point, have not felt the spirit. It is a fresh breeze; a relief of stress; a feeling of love. All of these things and more. All I can do is invite and welcome those that come and let those that do not see the joy of what they are missing, praying that they too will one day experience what it is like to truly be with Christ.

Needless to say I felt recharged. Still physically tired, but recharged. I miss that when I am required to work on Sundays. I do my best to keep in touch through prayer and sharing with Christ daily. We have interesting conversations, but that is for another topic. There is just something about going to church, I think it is the communion that does it, or the music, or the focused spirit, or all of the above that recharges me.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. For those of you who are not Christian, or are not sure, or have never experienced what I describe, I hope you get the chance to. It is truly special. Feel welcome because you are. If you choose not to come in, that is fine too. You are still loved, even if you do not feel that way, or are turned off by my words.

God bless you all.
