I have missed singing, especially singing in groups with my church friends!
Sunday worship is a part of me, an integral part of my life.
Since the COVID 19 pandemic started, we have not been to church as group gathering of more than 50 people has been banned in Canada.
As Ontario started to open up slowly, restrictions have been eased a little allowing small group gathering outdoors.
Our couples' cell group took advantage of that opportunity and we met once in September at Lake Wilcox Park.
We enjoyed the meeting so much that we planned another outdoor gathering in October before the cold Canadian weather comes upon us soon.
How fitting it was for us to meet on Thanksgiving Monday by the lake to sing and thank God for His love and mercy?
We met at Lake Wilcox for the second time on Thanksgiving Monday.
It was so good to meet our cell group members whom we had not seen for a long while.
There was a reunion meeting planned at our house in March but it was cancelled due to COVID 19 restrictions.
At this meeting, Stephanie and Tony led us singing Give Thanks and Above All. As we sang, tears swelled up in my eyes.
O, how sweet was the sound of praise and thank you to God who has kept our families and loved ones free from the virus!
Sisi shared the story of Abraham and Sarah and the mistakes they made when dealing with their faith in God.
It was a good reminder that as a couple we would need to be united and come together in prayer when facing with difficulties and uncertainties in life.
After the singing and sharing part of the meeting, we had time for chitchats, catching up with each other.
We look forward to meeting our church friends again at this tranquil waterfront park in warmer days in 2021!
