One Sunday Morning

One Sunday Morning Sunday morning March cold winds blow, And I know in the past they would not deter, For God’s house is so very near, but I hear A myriad of excuses in my ear. There’s that car breakdown that happened last week, What if? What if? It were to stop in a gale, Or parking places would be filled for the lame, Oh, yes, the flu is a danger to the frail. I rationalize until I am much too late, Though I pray for God’s understanding, And He seems to hear me – I know He does, He forgives me, and He is reminding. Then I open my bible quietly, And my home becomes His this day.

God says where one or more have gathered there I am in the midst of them. It is not the building who makes up the church it is the people. God knows what is in your heart. Good write. So open up your bible and read.

Amen my friend and sister He is not just in the building down the street He is in our home too. He makes His residence in our own body. All we have to do is invite Him in. Our body is a temple, whose temple it is is up to us. Great job here. We've all been there. God Bless, JB
