Singing in Heaven by Susan

In Revelation 5:9 it says:

9 And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation."

Getting ready before worship the little girl in front, Zeanda, cleaned all the pews. Boy was it sweet and she is so pretty. 

Gogo Shabalala and Gogo Zuma gather early to worship. 

I always thought that going to heaven to sit and sing all day, really didn't sound like my version of "Heaven." I can't sing, and I am really not sure that singing 24x7, is so appealing. This was until I heard all their voices today. Even though I could not understand the language, I could tell they were praising God. The harmonies were amazing and it felt like it was coming straight from the heart.

Next week, I am going to video worship, and you will see/ more importantly HEAR - exactly what I mean.

 After church we took the time to give out readers. Thank you to everyone who donated glasses. I know I can't see without mine and it was so cool to be able to watch our church family get so excited. They were SO appreciated, and it really felt like Christmas!

Jessica is playing with the kids. They were all having so much fun with the bubbles!

Loading up - I can't even believe everyone getting in the back of the trucks. Transportation at its best. Today I really felt like this is what church should be about. 

After service we walked the village playing, visiting with lots of new friends and meeting, new to me, but actually old Gogos. I am really looking forward to whatever God has in store for us this week.
