How do you worship? Is it always in the same place or do you find prayers coming at different times? The church is a house of worship and within its walls, we find beautiful music, learned persons speaking and wonderful friends. But this is in a building built for worship, built for music with all kinds of instruments and friends, some of whom we have known for years.
But in the garden watching a bumble bee sipping from a flower or a butterfly landing on a bush, it is also time to give thanks to our God. No instruments playing but you can hear the music of the branches on the trees and the birds calling and the buzzing of the bees. God made music. Earthly music calls you to worship. If you listen carefully, you can hear God calling.
In our land, we are allowed to worship freely. No one tells us where or how to worship. That has been curtailed some lately but we must pray to God that it will not vanish. Whether you worship only within the confines of your home or church or whether you include the world around you we all have God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Ghost in common. We can pray together that our world will always include music and words made by man and God. Amen
