Church and CJ do not always click. CJ likes to sing longer than the choir, pray longer than the deacon, and preach longer than the preacher. If she is not getting loud she usually needs to eat, therefore she prevents Mommy from hearing most of the sermon. This morning when we left the house Daddy made a deal with CJ. he told her that if she was quiet during the sermon that her Mommy would buy her something. Now I know it should have been me but why should I set myself up when Mommy would be a willing participant.
At the end of church I remembered CJ was there because I saw her. She behaved well today and I did not hear her at all. I just asked for the sermon and I got so much more. So I guess Mommy has to go out to buy her something nice. She has to be a woman of Daddy's word.
It will be only a matter of time before she learns how to conduct herself in church. She enjoys the music we know and if worship is going on around her CJ is down. She practices all throughout the week. Daddy and CJ will offer up some praise just because at any moment during the week. So CJ knows, Amen, Praise Him, and Hallelujah! Get with us or get left back.
As Sunday is a day full of it, please remember to pray. Not only is there power in prayer, but it changes things, people, and situations!
