Sanctuary

April 25, 2014 by adaisygarden

Do you ever feel like you just need some quiet time?

(Photo taken inside an 1800s church)
There were no microphones here, no Powerpoint, … not even electricity.

Yet,
the people gathered here and worshipped God.
All they had was each other and the Bible.
They read. They prayed together. They encouraged one another.
Made me realize once again…
we don’t need all the “bells and whistles” we feel so necessary today.

I guess all we need is a hunger for God.

Just thinking…

Have a blessed weekend everybody.
Love to you all,
Daisy

Sometimes I think those bells and whistles distract us from a powerful silence that enables us to hear and feel. But I’ve always longed for “the good old days”. I was born in the Wong century! 🙂

Daisy -your words resonate with my heart. I think we forget that God has communed with us for a long time before all the bells and whistles. Many days my heart longs for that type of connection. I love the choice of the word “sanctuary”. Hugs and blessings – Kandy
