I didn't go to church yesterday because of my fall so I attended by way of the computer. It was great! I sang to the top of my lungs, I bowed my head and prayed with the Pastor, I listened attentively to the message and even heard Pastor Barbee say "the most miserable Christian is the one who tries to live without Christ". I would have even given some money if the ushers could have gotten an offering plate in front of me. I praise the Lord for our times and the electronics of our day.
Yet I sensed a missing ingredient of Church. Part of our "coming together" is touching one another. Whether it's just greeting each other with a handshake or giving a hug, fellowship includes a touch. I have heard people say so often when given a hug "I needed that". Yesterday when I attended church I was so blessed but really missed the touch of God's people. How about you? Have you ever felt that way? And just think, I'm not a "huggy" person.
