I've been having a rather busy week, but all in this week it was such a blessing.
All the different faces around me... All different shapes, sizes, looks, color, and clothes, all of us were created not by man but by a Higher Power, God. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Genesis 1:27
From the cafeteria to the tent, then to the meeting place, up on the stage leading song service, playing cello for the two ensembles, singing in choir, playing freeze tag, praying, talking to friends, taking walks, helping watch over my little friends, arm in arm with friends, but even though it was busy it was one of the best FCM's we've been to. Not because certain friends were there, but because I absolutly loved the meetings, there's something that I can't explain that is so good about the messages that, Uncle Paul and Aunt Carolyn, Uncle Tom and Aunt Alane, and Mr and Mrs Fowler have that I love.
I wasn't looking forward to leaving this place...
Many times among friends this conversation happened...
"Kitten?"
Yes, Glesni (or Abby)?
"Doesn't this sound beautiful?!"
Yes indeed... Mmm.
The last day...
It finally dawned upon me that it was the last day at INFCM for the year.
"No!" I thought to myself
"It can't be the last day for INFCM for a whole year, if time lasts!"
As the close of the last message by Mrs Fowler came, it was time to sing the closing song, "We are Family."
About 100 voices (or more) began to sing... It sounded beautiful. It was like a touch of heaven, to be with people that believe alike. Beautiful...
"Family, we are family.
Jesus, He is our God,
And I'm so glad,
He brought us all together,
I'm so glad that our Father is our God."
The last thing was packed in the truck, the last hug was given to friends until we meet again, the last signature was signed on my friends name tags, until we meet again...
But there is hope...
In heaven I will be able to see all my friends, if we all choose right.
I will be able to see them all daily, if we all choose right.
I want that, don't you?
