As I was getting ready for church today, I realized...
I've never been to Church alone before! So, today was a first for me. Thankfully, even though our Church is itty bitty, we've been going there each Sunday since we arrived in Germany almost a year ago. This means that I know some people there fairly well, so shy little me was okay :) It was a bit strange, though. And there is something about being at Church without Don that
really makes me miss him. Sharing a hymnal, holding hands during prayer & during the sermon, giggling a little about how bad the singing is :) I missed him! And I knew that I would, but I went anyway. And I'm glad that I did!
First, it was good for me to get out of the house. I'd been home since I got back from Post on Friday. I have gotten a lot done this weekend, but I needed a bit of
socializing {yes, just like my dogs!}.
Second, there was a potluck afterward! Which meant no dinner alone for me! No Lean Cuisine! Nothing close to it, in fact! I had ribs, green bean casserole, cheesecake, biscuits, fried chicken, mac & cheese, oh...and salad!
The sermon was "Running The Race of Faith", taken from Hebrews 12, & I really enjoyed it. There was one thought that I wanted to share with you all. This really has many meanings, all very insightful. I really liked this a lot. When I'm worried, the best thing that I can do is
look up!
If you want to be distressed — look within.
If you want to be defeated — look back.
If you want to be distracted — look around.
If you want to be dismayed — look ahead.
If you want to be delivered — look up!
Happy Sunday, everyone ♥
