This instance the church worker had texted my Mother that he would arrive this morning for I hope a weekly Thanksgiving viewing day. But there is a chance that it will only be a Prayer meeting and or Worship service but I do hope that it is a thanksgiving viewing day because I get to listen to the consultation portion of the activity where some guests or some brethren will be given a chance to consult with brother Eli Soriano of the mcgi.org and solve their problems regarding anything from their lives, legal issues, medical issues, or about their problems in understanding some of the passages in the scriptures.
It is just strengthening my inner being when I get the chance or opportunity to listen to the pre-recorded activity of the church especially the thanksgiving activity where brethren would congregate to their specific localities or coordinating centers where everyone in real-time would participate in the thanksgiving celebration to God.
"give thanks in all circumstances; for this is Godβs will for you in Christ Jesus"
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Me and my brother and later my mother were attending together our church activities from prayer meeting to Thanksgiving and worship service. So it is a three time weekly attendance which makes us really a religious family except my father which isn't really interested because maybe of his age and upbringing since he doesn't belong really in a religious family for that matter.
The Thanksgiving celebration is done weekly and simultaneously done around the world where in different localities they are connected via the Internet so it is like a very big gathering where distance is not anymore a barrier for the church members to partake in celebration of giving thanks to God.
Anyway I do like the Thanksgiving celebration because I get to see the brethren who are offering Thanksgiving to sing and dance in groups which is really nice to see since it makes God happy. Also of course I get to sing along the hymns before the opening prayer plus of course the first half and the second half of the discussion of the topic for the week which is discussed by Bro. Daniel Razon and the conclusion of the topic by Bro. Eliseo Soriano the Presiding Minister of the Church Of God International (mcgi.org).
It is in my deepest regret that I can no longer physically attend our gatherings because of my mainly aches and pains in my body and other physical manifestations of my disability plus my fear of being a "star of the show" where of course people will just look at at me like a subject of curiosities. I do not like none of that to happen so I am glad that our Church has a program for a disabled person like me who could not attend the gatherings anymore.
So I am just frustrated since in the beginning I was very active in attendance but I hope God wills it for me to once again to attend church like before even in a wheelchair but without pains involved anymore that is why I am still striving to make myself get an improvement with my physical body.
