MY BEST DAYS IN LYON...
I could and I will put a list here with all the places and things you must visit, once you come to the town of great cuisine and the culture in France.
For now, though, let me share with you the joy and the feelings - I had, when I entered the church nearby us on a beautiful Sunday.
I feel; being abroad makes you feel like a newly born baby, as you observe everything from other perspective.
People like people, we might say, but each and every corner of this Planet has something particular, hidden just for that special region:
- with different customs and habits,
- with different tastes of meal and style of music,
- with other services, lets say on a Sunday mass:
Here I come with my thoughts.
A church in our neighborhood has started the mass with two Priests, welcoming us all, who came to the house of God to give thanks for all we have in our life.
To be grateful and to express our gratitude to HIM, who holds our hands in our everydays,
- who lifts us up when we fall down,
- who gives us strenght when we are week and who celebrates with us, when we are crying out of happiness and dancing in a circle of joy, celebrating it all!
After the warm welcome, the music has started in a style of a gospel.
The music and the songs sang by black people, with the wide wide smile on their faces, while claping their hands, you, who is part of this all, can feel the spirit of love and phantasy of life in the air.
Children, Oh God, many many children around me, wherever I look at, sitting on the laps of their parents and I feel like in Heaven.
My soul is uplifted, I feel so alive and here I realize, how great its to travel and to learn about other nations!
What is normal and ordinary for us is totally different in other corners of the Universe.
I almost dance and I suddenly feel, like in the movie with Whoopi Goldberg, while singing, dancing and praying to God, I can fly!
The mass continues and I keep observing people.
There are many believers from regions of Africa:
As they pray, the close their eyes, I can deeply feel their faith, its so much in the air, you can almost touch it!
I am happy and blessed to be among them.
Praying, singing and listening to the speech of the Priest goes on and I must realize, we soon come to the end of it.
What a wonderful start of the day and of the following week,
- what a release of my soul!
- what a light in my heart is, when I leave the church.
At the entrance door the two Priests are waiting for us, believers - shaking our hands and wishing us a beautiful day.
Well, the human connections, the strenght of faith is - what has joined and brought together these people today, the ones, who with the shine in their heart will spread it all around, they step!
Thank You God, for blessing me and us with all, we experience each and every day!
