This afternoon my Son and I walked to the mailbox to check for our monthly Church newsletter. It was there, full of wonderful information and inspiration. I am pleased to say I have put my mind at rest and decided to stick with learning the ways of our little country Church. I enjoy the "old fashioned" nature of it. I just have to realize it will take awhile for me to "settle in".
As I read the newsletter I noticed they had birthdays listed, of course mine is not listed as they don't even know when my birthday is. Obviously, it's this month since I expected it to be in the list. Maybe next year. As I read further I see a Community Christmas Potluck notice and I'm thinking what dish I could make to take to that event.
Here is a sobering quote that my husband would probably say pertains to me:
"cranky old men/women don't wake up cranky on their seventieth birthday. They were cranky about lots of things for many years and by the time they hit seventy, they had a whole lot more to be cranky about......Thank God that there are still some years left to work on the "crankiness"!
I find this quote in the bulletin ironic since "crankiness" is something I am working on. Finding happiness within myself again. And Church is part of my solution, something I'm doing for ME, to find peace with the world around me. And since I was considering looking into a different Church I find it very ironic, as if it was "meant to be".
As I read the community events and notices I realize this is what I want to be a part of, my community Church. It has more meaning than just worship, it's community togetherness. I just have to be patient and learn as I go. Slowly but surely I will find my way!
'til next time!
