An event that stick to my memory
Hello my beautiful friends I am @graceze this is my first time here, am so happy to be in ur midst and I hope I will make new friends?
It was on one journey to see one of her relatives that Nancy visited a church, oooh I totally forget to introduce Nancy to you guys. Nancy is in her middle twenties she's average in height fair in complexion, comes from the northern part and is social, she's almost done with her education and she loves traveling as well so that takes me back to my story. When she travelled to see one of her relatives for some reason best known to her, she visited a church and that's where her ordeal started.
The church starts around 9am so she was there on time, when she entered the church with that her relatives the first thing she saw apart from the crowd was a lady dressed in a pretty gown looking all glowing at the entrance that bent saying "welcome to church" apparently that's how they welcome everyone that enters, when she walked down the hall she also saw another lady who was all smiley who also bent directing her with her hands where to sit. She was taken aback by the protocol people they were so welcoming and that was a big open doors to her heart for her.
The service went on so beautifully everyone acting as if they were from the same womb which actually they are in Christ, so after the sermon they asked if there was a new member in church and she stood up after which she was invited to the altar, they first question she was asked was "where have you been because we have prayed for you?" And that made her smile, the church now said in one accord 'we love and appreciate you', her number was collected they even gave her a chilled drink and they asked her little questions.
After all that, she went back to her seat they service went on, the pastor now said "turn to your neighbor and appreciate something about that person's appearance that you like and tell that person that I love you and there's nothing you can do about it" 😁😁 can u imagine that, she felt goosebumps it was just love all over the place because that felt like home for her. She turned to her neighbor and did exactly what she was told, the service ended around 11-12pm am not really sure when exactly so she went home spirit filled.
A little background check on Nancy and why she was so moved by the atmosphere of the church, the church she grew up in was so different from that kind of place, I mean no offense to her church but she saw love in church differently, she felt alive in church differently hence why she was so happy been there. So in light to that I would love to tell you all "I love you and there is nothing you can do about it"
Thanks for moving with me on this wonderful journey, it's still your girl @graceze please don't forget to comment see you guys next time.
When you're in the presence of the lord, there's joy and peace of mind in fullness
Different atmosphere different experience. Good that the church showcase love in a good dimension to Nancy and that she felt welcomed..
