I haven't gotten in on many of these weekly pictures, but I knew what picture I wanted to use the first time I saw this title. This is the chapel at the church I work for. Pretty place, expecially with the afternoon sun coming in like that. But without the people, it is empty. Most people have the wrong idea about church- you say something about a church, and they automatically picture a building. And some church buildings are beautiful- but no matter what, without the people they are nothing.
Taking this one step further, this is like my life without Christ in it. I can have the best body (which I don't, but that's not what we're talking about) and the best job and live in the best house, but without Christ in my life I am as empty as this building. It might look nice from the outside, but once you're in there, you realize it is pretty, but not fulfilling!
Nice job, Momma....love your description, too.

Wednesday, You stopped to vist and I felt so loved
Thursday, I I looked for you from my tower above.
Friday, have you forgotten me you said you were mine
Saturday, maybe tomorrow our hearts together I’ll find.
Sunday, Would you all stand with me in today’s opening prayer
Signed with love, the church.
