As a young child my mother would help me get there by walking me across the busy street, and as I got older she would wait to make sure I got across okay, and pretty soon I was going alone. Dad always gave me a quarter to put in the offering plate and every Sunday I took the Bible my grandmother gave me. The only time I missed was if I was sick or we were out of town on vacation.\u00a0 I served in that church as a young person, too. Acolyte duties, watching babies in the bride\u2019s room, singing in the choir, and Scripture reading were a big part of my church life. I loved it. As a young adult I moved on from that church to another church where I started serving in Women\u2019s Ministry and I have served in that capacity ever since. Church is home; it\u2019s where I want to be; it\u2019s my custom; it\u2019s my life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">MY RESPONSE<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As a young person, Jesus wanted to be in His Father\u2019s house. That\u2019s where Mary and Joseph found Him after missing Him for three days. It is further recorded in Luke that Jesus went to the synagogue on the Sabbath, as was His custom. Going to the Father\u2019s house should always be my priority, my custom, and my life. After all, it is a foretaste of the glorious home I\u2019m on my way to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">MY PRAYER<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Father, thank You for Your house here on earth. May it always be the place I want to be more than anywhere else. And may it be said of me that I rejoiced when they said, \u201cLet us go to the house of the LORD.\u201d Amen.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-women"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p92wjD-5na","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20656"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20675,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20656\/revisions\/20675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
