Day 288 • Grateful for Church via /r/gratitude

I spent my morning in church today, and it just felt so darn good! They have a waiting room with tables and chairs and they are always playing Christian music – which is incredibly uplifting.

I just sat there, getting closer to God – I had so many other things I had to do this morning and I was waiting for my meeting to start but in that time I was alone waiting, I was actually sitting there talking to God. And in my own troubles, time stood still. Nothing else mattered except feeling the grace wash over me.

A volunteer parishioner came by and held me while I was crying, tears of joy mostly, and as she held me she said a prayer out loud, and asked that I be watched over, and provided the things I needed to be fulfilled. I am so grateful for her.

I hope on the days and times when I start to feel blue, that I will remember her as the angel she was to me in that moment, showing me the light in a moment of darkness.
