I took my shot yesterday, really I did. And then I totally forgot to upload it.
I met the folks buying our church building yesterday - and they were the nicest young men (the minister and the music director). I tried hard to sell them our organ. We have tried through the Presbytery, also. Nobody wants an organ. The new guy said he had just paid a ridiculous price for a keyboard that can sound like an organ if he wants. I tried to sell them our set after set of dishes.........I overheard where the coffee bar will be.
I couldn't help myself. I asked them to come into the sanctuary with me while their architect and his team continued to look around. I told them how as a child I was certain that God lived right there - in that sanctuary. And then I told them the story of our long ago housekeeper that told me that the sanctuary was God's living room. I love that analogy and it has stayed with me always.
And then I cried.
Beautiful shot . I feel so sad for you Cathy - I just hope they love the Sanctuary and Church as much as you do - I am sure they were moved by your story!!
Beautiful shot. Am I right in thinking the church is staying as a church?
I know how hard it is for you, try to keep the faith that all this is part of a greater plan and you are just playing your part in helping it come together. x
I too wonder if your church will still be a church...that would be nice & keep the building a holy place. Your memories must have moved them so I hope all will be well.
@megmills It is Norwood Presbyterian on the corners of Floral and Washington. We are having a city wide yard sale Friday and Saturday that we are participating in with dishes and old glass plates and cups - like for a Lady's Tea.

Your flower is beautiful as always with great light and detail.
