They are in EVERY church...

Last night I went to a Christian concert, in a church I've not been to before, with a buddy of mine and as I sat in the last pew (I'm a wiggler & didn't want to distract folks) with my friend, and her co-worker...I confess: I was briefly scanning the crowd!! ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was a beautiful Baptist church: simple, old fashion, homey! As I scanned the crowd, it hit me! The crowd looked like every other church crowd I had ever seen: The bald guy in the front looks a lot like my Uncle Harold. The sweet boy in the middle pew on the otherside of the isle looks like my son when he was younger. the chunky guy in front of me looks like a friend of our family...a Godly man, but more comfy in the barn, than the pew. The 'pocket size' little old lady in the back pew, on the otherside is so darn cute ya just wanna walk up an' hug on her! The lady in the front row reminds me of Sister-so-in-so from our old church... boy I sure miss her! The guy introducing the singers reminds me of cousin Dick - kind hearted & funny! and...so on... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YES! ahahaha, I WAS paying attention, and it was a wonderful concert!! but the part that most spoke to my heart & blessed my socks off was: "they are in EVERY church!" ~~~~~~~~~> by that I mean: Those of us who have Jesus in our hearts, will ALWAYS have a home -> where ever we may go! no, NOT because the church folk look like someone we know...but because we all know the same person...JESUS!! yes, I know... churchs are different; and some can not agree on some stuff mentioned in the Bible...but speaking as a spunky Pentacostal gal sitting respectfully in a calm Baptist church -> I was blessed!!! :) Thank you Lord JESUS, you are SO wonderful and I am grateful!!!
