Living In The Kingdom Prepared

Oh! What a day this has been! The Last Sunday in ordinary time for 2007. It was Christ the King Sunday. I have enjoy this beautiful day. I moved in the flow of it.

I'm thankful for the Kingdom of God. Jesus is King of all the world. I'm thankful that the Kingdom is prepared for us. And its here and now and is coming in its fullest.

My Reflections: November 26, 2017 Gathering.
I was singing as I made my way into the main doors of the church. I've been in the habit of looking around as I'm singing and or praying. Today, I must I've been an early bird. I saw a few people before heading into the sanctuary.

I continue to do what I do when I enter the sanctuary doors. This has become a habit too. I can't recall how long I've been doing it. I was on my routine before the gathering at 10 AM. cst.

It was the celebration of my 24th Anniversary receiving communion with the church.  Also the 4th Sunday of November was my Water Baptism Anniversary. The actual day was on Sunday, November 28, 1993. It fell on the 1st Sunday in Advent that year.

I made my way to the  Upper Room, the thin place. The Spirit of the LORD was there. I enjoyed my stay there as I always do. I made my way back to the main sanctuary. I chatted with some friends along the way.

As I walk out of the Upper Room, I've made it a habit of speaking with people. I'm thankful that people are coming to the gathering early. I don't like to be late for the gathering. I'm only time I'm late is the time when I greet.
