Holy Me

Saturday nights mean different things to different people, to some it is the best time to party; hang out all night and get drowned in alcohol. It reminds me of some years back when hubby and I would go to some club that played only oldies on Saturday nights, we would dance till 3am then travel all the way home, it was quite some distance but we enjoyed doing that.

The funny part was the way hubby looked at me like I was a witch because I would wake up at 6am later that morning to start getting ready for Mass at 9am. The children had to be sorted out so we could all be seated in Church before the procession began.

Hubby would always whisper different things that would crack me up in between Mass, once he said, “See how Holy you are acting, the priest will not believe it if he saw a video of you shaking your backside earlier this morning”. In defence I would say, “at least it was for you”. Another time he said, “Baby, you should learn to leave me to sleep I’m about to fall down, you know that I am no longer young” I just burst out laughing. One thing we often argued about was who was in a state of grace enough to receive the Holy Communion. 

These days, Saturday nights are movie nights when we do not attend important events that last till late in the evening, it is also a time to prepare for the Holy day the following day especially for an active Christian like me *wink wink* who participates at Mass. (Holy Me. hehehe!)

A good Christian should do some soul searching on Saturday nights, read the good book and get into the Sunday mode when you go to His Holy House and praise Him in the presence of His people.

The younger generation and some mature people still get their grooves on Saturday nights, dance the night away, smoke away, get drunk, get home and sleep all through Sunday. (Not judging at all, everything in good moderation) This category of people see Sunday as a day of rest literally and so they rest from all the alcohol and all the partying and they forget to go and pay homage to the One who holds our lives in His hands. No one is perfect but the Bible admonishes us to strive for Holiness.

Enough said, what pastor sister Amaka is trying to say is, Go to Church People!
