                    THE LOVE FOR GOD'S HOUSE

Some people only show up on important occasions in life. The only time the

                    A house is a house is a house--until love comes through the door, that is. And love intuitively goes around sprinkling that special brand of angel dust that transforms a house into a very special home for very special people: your family. 
   Money, of course, can build a charming house, but only

                    When we walk into God's House to worship we should leave ALL else behind.
We should be here to commune with God only and if we are here for any other reason we should not be here.
And I must say this also...we should have prepared to be here. How? On our knees praying for guidance.
