Online this morning was that I didn't
Need to fix my hair, or apply makeup or
Search my closet wondering what to
Wear.
I didn't need to travel in my car or
Search for a place to park near the
Door.
But I missed my regular Sunday routine.
I missed the warm greetings, the
Hugs.
I missed sitting beside my friends and
Singing my heart out.
And as my pastor preached HIS heart out to
The rows of empty chairs, I missed
Encouraging him with a nod of my head,
A quiet "amen," a smile.
I mightily missed my family today, especially
As we are facing the uncharted waters of
The ongoing pandemic.
We need each other.
Online church is better than no church, but
I understand why the writer of Hebrews warned
Believers not to forsake meeting together as
Some were in the manner of doing.*
I pray that staying home for weeks on
End won't become a habit for some of
Our folks.
It certainly won't be true for me.
I can't wait to be back in church again.
*Hebrews 10:25
