i miss church
in person
hugging
every soul
looking
for jesus
and a mornin
full of praise
you made it
another day
i dream
of sunday lunch
with the neighbors
at Red Lobster
cheddar biscuits
and more evangelizing
before that
became a bad word
we can't discuss
without starting wars
these days
it seems
i should get
off the soapbox
before I start one
lively debate
and banter
an art form
long gone
I'm afraid
Ah, yes, you speak feelings of many ~ divine ^_^

Bonitos poemas. Saludos.
ReplyDeleteUm belo poema. Parabéns.
ReplyDeleteBom fim de semana.
I know you speak for many people here who still are not able to meet in person in church. Either they are still live streaming only or some churches are open but some people have compromised immune systems and come to church. And it's too bad that sharing the gospel has become a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteRegina, keep sharing the Lord. There are still people seeking hope in this crazy world. Jesus is truly our only hope and my heart goes out to those folks out there who refuse to believe He exist. Hugs to you my sister in Christ!❤
Oops! That should have said "can't come to church".
DeleteThere are so many things we are missing now, eating inside a restaurant with my family is one and I really miss traveling. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I'm afraid too
ReplyDeleteTutti noi abbiamo paura, ma dobbiamo farci forza e pregare il signore ancora più di prima.
ReplyDeleteI miss in-person church, too. Stupid coronavirus!
ReplyDeleteA truly beautiful poem.😊😊 I think we need our faiths today more than ever before in the history of mankind.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, if only people could find it in their hearts to stop fighting with those of a different faith and to live and let live instead...the better life would be!
Hugs xxx
Truly Sunday isn't what it used to be for many of us. Beautiful poem!
ReplyDeleteI find that I don't need the personal contact of a church ... building...my faith is strong enough to feel safe and secure in my beliefs at home too
ReplyDeleteYour thoughts are of many!!
The mountains are my church but I certainly understand the communing with others and such. I like your post - it felt good to read it. Cheddar bisquits..yum.
ReplyDeleteI miss church too.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you can get back to church. Soon.
ReplyDeleteTrue words. Have a good weekend, stay safe. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSo much emotion in your reflection here, Regine. Oh, how I miss church, seeing people and being able to eat out . . .
ReplyDeleteVery timely and so true.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful words. I can relate. Hugging at church was something that I loved so much!

ReplyDeleteOur church is meeting in person and has been for months. It's wonderful. Hope that changes for you soon.
ReplyDelete...do all the things that you miss and you may miss EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteYes it's like people are waiting eagerly to get offended.
ReplyDeleteit's a shame you can't do church in person! We are able to here but we have to register in advance (for contact tracing) and services are smaller.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a nice weekend! :)

looking forward to online youtube mass tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI imagine many people are feeling this way right now. All we can do is pray that we'll see normal again soon.
ReplyDeleteLindo leerte. Saludos.
ReplyDeleteA igreja é um local muito tranquilo onde se respira paz como na poesia!!!
ReplyDeleteBom domingo
How sad that we cannot state (with grace) our reason for our hope, without somebody taking offense at our choice to share the love of God. I too missed physical church while we were in lockdown, and how good it is to be able to fellowship in person again.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

Church is a place to meet and praise God but in this day and age of Covid-19 God understands.
ReplyDeleteHe still hears our prayers no matter where we are.
Amen R 🍁🍂
Thank God our churches are still open albeit very limited number of people right now can come in.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the day when things can go back to normal.
Loved it. The old days seem so far away and today we only live in fear.

Very true.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and well.
This to shall pass.
so true and so applicable to all...
ReplyDeleteI miss going to Mass too, and especially receiving Communion. Red Lobster's cheddar biscuits are the best! I am craving one now. ; )

I'm missing church and the fellowship of being with brothers and sisters in Christ. Nevertheless I count my blessings and know I'm not alone. The Lord is with us.
