Do you practice religion?
While I don’t go to church and I don’t really affiliate with an organized religion I do have faith and beliefs. I pray and am thankful for what I have.
I’m intrigued by religion. I grew up Catholic and live in a predominantly Catholic area. I like learning about different religions and I’m fascinated by the people who are active in their religion, not just the church. I never experienced that with my religion. I’m not searching for it either, it just seems interesting to me. Another way of living.
I also love visiting churches when I travel. They are beautiful with so much history. I also love listening to choirs and will pop in a Christmas choir cd (yes a cd), it’s beautiful.
I do miss the idea of going to church with my family, especially my cousins. I think that being dragged to church each Sunday (that was what it felt like to my teenage self) was a positive experience. It wasn’t necessarily the church part but that whatever I was doing I had to go to church. Our family would be together. It was a ritual. I learned to sacrifice my time.
One thing I do practice is Lent. I feel good about giving up something or adding a task for the greater good. I also still feel guilty having meat on Friday during Lent.
I’m happy with my choices now and I think that I am a good human and that’s what counts.
Amen
