Blessing nonetheless.
Despite wearing a mask and keeping
My distance, it was bliss to be
Back in church.
Singing while wearing a mask was a
Novelty.
My voice reverberated in my own ears
Rather than those around me.
I must confess, I rather enjoyed
Hearing myself sing.
It felt right to see Pastor Mike in
Person again, rather than just on a
Screen.
And, thankfully, his proclamation of
Truth remained the same.
I loved catching up with friends even
From 6 feet away, a reunion of sorts.
And it was delightful to have a reason to
Dress up, to wear the new top my
Daughter gave me for Mother's Day.
One day the choir and orchestra will be
Back.
One day the aisles won't need to be
Roped off.
One day I'll give hugs and sing
Loudly enough to disturb the
Parishioners in front of me.
One day.
But today was a beautiful step in that
Direction.
