Sabbath

Have you ever seen those buses with kids chanting and singing songs? Well I was the adult in the bus trying to keep the kids quiet. : p On Sabbath we went to a church about 30 minutes from Havilah, the kids said it was out in the bush but it really was not but that did not kill their excitement. The kids were so excited that they were chanting and singing songs on the way there and back. I gave up trying to keep them quiet about halfway to the church. It was good for them to waste some of the energy they have, that way they would be quiet when we were in church. I had a good time in Church even though I did not understand, but it was exciting when I recognized some of the hymns they sang. I felt a swell of pride when they asked the kids to sing for the church. I didn’t teach them the songs that they sang but I felt so proud to see my kids singing in front of the church. I understood little of what the sermon was about but I did understand that it was a call to keep up on the outreach. It was a reminder of why I am here and what I came to do. What I really liked that this church does is that whenever the service ends they line up so they can say hi to each other. It was pretty cool and fun. But all good things to an end and thus sooner than later we time to go home and say goodbye to all the acquaintances we had meet. It was a typical Sabbath, we ate, the kids had their afternoon nap and then we went on a walk. I have to admit that I took a little cat nap, I felt so refreshed when I woke up. It was a good Sabbath, restful and calm.
