ChuBRRRrch on Sunday morning

You get in your nice warm car
Head for church,
Arrive,
Take off your heavy coats, gloves, hats, whatever else
Hang them up just inside the door...
And head for Sunday School
or the morning service.

(Like my "poetry"? Nice huh?)

NOT SO in San Juan del Rio

We leave our COLD house
Head for church
(me in my nice warm car!)
others on the bus or taxi or their cars
Or walking.
We arrive at church
all bundled up
and carrying an extra blanket
to put over our knees!

And we STAY bundled up
It's 40 degrees today
Outside
AND INSIDE.

But the fellowship is warm,
So we can put up with the cold,
As our worship leader reminds us...
Some folks have no warmth,
no coats, no nice home, no place to get warm.
So, let's be thankful
to the Lord
for the warmth He has given us!





Know any worship teams in the States bundled up like this??




Not many people at church today - too cold, I guess! (Actually, more folks showed up after I took this picture!)




See one of the reasons it's so cold in our church? It only has two walls - the other two are either open or curtains - which don't keep out the cold and wind! Thankfully there's not much wind these days!



The pink cloth covers our "kitchen", as we say, "for mientras" (for now!). We're building, it's going slowly, but surely!

And suddenly in March, it'll be hot weather again! No spring, just sudden summer! We can't wait!! And you know what? Then everyone will be complaining about how hot it is!


Not me!
