'Can We Stop and Talk Awhile'

Tweet

This is the title of one of the popular songs of Orginal Pilipino Music (OPM) singer, Jose Mari Chan. This best described of what I have had an hour or so ago when I took a walk for awhile as my routine walking exercise everyday, either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. While walking along the street, someone has called me up and greeted me. And I stopped and I identified him as Martin who is one of the members of our Church, who became inactive for several years. He's already 51 years old, married with one son. Everything we talk about our membership in the Church becomes fresh. It's a great flashback of something good, something wonderful. He kept on recalling those good leaders of the Church, who were already gone. I refresh his memories of the current Church leaders. I challenge him to comeback to the Church. I got no assurance, but a big smile from his wrinkled face is more than enough manifestation that he really miss the Church. Hope I will be seeing him in the Church soon.
