More Traditional

This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it!

What a beautiful day! this morning started off fairly cool out side for summer in Florida! I enjoyed walking in the garden this morning. giving life sustaining water to the flowers and plants. Spending time in the garden with my Lord. I often think of what it must have been like in the original garden. Oh to actually have walked in it with Him! After a few hours it did start to get very warm so I knew it must be time to return to the house, shower and get ready to join a body of believers in worship. Where??? I was not sure, no real clear idea of if I should return to the same place as last week or seek out somewhere else. getting ready I realized it was about 10 minutes too late to make the service at the place I worshiped last week. That took me to the computer and a google search for a local church that started at 10:30 or 11:00. after looking at a few I decided on a more traditional church just a bit farther from home than last week.

although this felt a bit more familiar, it also felt "old" not sure why... may have been the low pews, the 70's design of the building and decor, the Hymns listed in the bulletin... I was pleasantly surprised to see a mix of contemporary, a few praise songs mixed in with the Hymns and even a contemporary performance of the choir and worship leader. The pastor presented a great message, although a bit loud and "in your face" (kind of reminded me of the way an old "fire and brimstone" preacher would present) although the message was anything but fire and brimstone. the service ended with a very old familiar Hymn of invitation. More traditional than I think I need to openly worship the way I believe I need to... It was a nice cozy comfortable feeling... of course we know God is probably not going to call me to a church where I feel all comfortable, now is He? LOL

Enjoy your day, I know that as for me... I will be spending it with my Lord! No matter what the day brings it will be a day to rejoice at the presence of my King!

Blessings,
