Emma welcomed the quiet of Sunday. It had been a busy week, with its doubts and worries and the uncertainty of coping with her jobs. But she had managed. There was money in the household purse and she would soon do even better. She went with her mother to church and was glad to see that one or two of the ladies in the congregation smiled their good mornings to her mother.-Emma's Wedding
There was a time when much of the social life and standing centered around the church. Not that way any more. A pity, but that is only my personal opinion.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is my only social life during my week... and I like it (most of the time). Here's to congregations that chat a little too long in the foyer or courtyard! =)
