I am not even sure where to begin with this, so I am just going to let the words fly as they may. Last night I went to church, now I must say this is not a church I go to on a regular basis but I went because a very nice lady called me Saturday and asked if I would attend and I graciously accepted.
Now, the church service was great with the exception of a few teens that their parents couldn't seen to manage up running around giggling etc. All I could think was this is the Lords house should we not be more respectful? Outside of the chapel area there is a room for small children with toys books and games to entertain them and a part of me wanted to tell these teens they could go to the play room if they couldn't sit still and be quiet so I could enjoy the service, yet, I felt that was the responsibility of the parents. (Keep in mind one of these parents is taking classes to become a licensed pastor and was alowing her 15 yr old to behave this way in the Lords house.
After service which dispite the behavior of the teens was a lovely service and we sand some beautiful worship songs and at the end of service the pulpit was opened to anyone needing prayer for healing, may it be pain, spiritual etc and many including I went up for prayer. It was a beautiful feeling.
After the sermon this church without fail serves a meal so anyone who wants to eat and share their thoughts and Praise God are able to do so. It is a blessed joining of a great range of people. This night was a special night as the church was blessed with a large donation of food so the church was handing out food baskets to those who needed them, all you had to do was ask and in addition there were easter baskets for the children. What a wonderful blessed event.
As everyone stood in line and baskets were being carried out, keep in mind we are still in the Lords house, people began getting snappy one person helping carry the boxes out for others rather than politely asking "can you please make a path so we can get through to get out" rather says rudely "get out of the way come one geez I'm trying to do something!" so then another person in line says something i won't repeat and it went on. Finally myself and another lady reminded people that were saying the things they were that we were in the Lords house, that "HE" would not be happy with this behavior, that we wee hee to worship God and to please him and giving food to those in nood was pleasing him but people cursing and making threats to one another was not pleasing to God nor was it appropriate and could the please stop.
One person asked me who I thought I was? I replied "I am Gods Child and I am speaking what I know he would be saying if he were here!" he bickering and name calling stopped.
I just feel when you walk into Gods House any feelings or indifferences you have with another person stays outside those doors. You show respect in Gods house at all times.
