If you believe that God and His temple are holy,and I believe that you do.
Let us keep reverance in His home.
I have felt a burden in my heart for awhile on the manner in which We have treated His home.
We don't need to have a Crystal Cathedral like Robert Schuller or a big fancy church like Joel Olsten but we can take care with love the beautiful temple of God that He in His infinite mercy has allowed us to worship in.
There is such an amazing comfort zone in our church that we forget to revere what the temple is all about. I have been guilty of it myself but feel that the Lord is displeased in our treatment of His home.

The lack of consideration in talking while others are praying is hurtful.
Love each other by being mannerly and not obstructing a conversation your brother or sister is having with God.

There can be laughter.
There can be joy.
There can be coloring and writing.
There must be reverance and there must be cleanliness.

I left a water bottle once on the chair I sit in and felt so guilty about it I couldn't wait to go to church to take it out and trash it.

That same guilt should be in all our hearts when we leave something behind.

Have a water bottle that's okay after all we don't have a fountain.
Bring toys for your little boys and girls because they can be attentive for so long before they understandably get bored.
Write down your sermon notes on a piece of paper.
But let's clean up after ourselves.
Keep in mind I am putting myself in this as well I have been guilty of the same.
I write this with nothing but absolute love for God and for the church and it's members.
I love to see the children playing in the benches when they have had enough of the grown up talk ,first, because they ARE In Church. Second, because they have wise parents who understand the attention span of their children .
I love to see people taking notes because they hunger for the word.
I don't mind the water drinking as long as it's not a loud guzzle with the noise of the plastic bottle being bent over and over again.
Reverance
Lovely, beautiful chuildren of God let us revere the Lord and His temple.
If I have offended anyone please bring it to my attention. My objective was to pass along a burden by God I felt to share with everyone.

Quick testimony-Little David was coloring in his seat the other day when the Pastor was preaching the sermon about "El Burro"
About a day or 2 after his father was having a conversation that seemed a little concerning to David and he said to his father, "Papa, no sea como el burro."
I truly beleive that while the children may seem distracted in their coloring and toys that they are receiving something from the Lord.

God Bless
With lots and lots of Love
Pastora Debbie
