You know, I really didn't want to get up this morning... I was nice and cosy and warm in my bed, and I didn't feel like going to Church. Trouble is I had people to talk to, and things to do, so I made myself get up... and in pootled on down to Church. And do you know what, I really enjoyed it! The time of worship when we sing and praise God was lovely, and I felt blessed, and Steve, our Pastor, gave a very good sermon on Marriage, he spoke from several verses in the bible, and he centred on the following:
Marriage is…
Set out by God – Genesis 2:22
A life long relationship – Matthew 19:5-6
A place of security and equality – Ephesians 5:21
Worth investing in – 1 Corinthians 13:4
We also had a band practice after the service, I play the flute (although with my wrist I have had to stop for a while, but I’m picking it up again now, I have missed playing!) and we had lunch together, and a practice together, it was lovely, and I am extremely glad that I went to church today!
So the moral is… when you don’t feel like it, go anyway. Being amongst God’s people is great therapy, and will bless you just as much as you need!
