Years ago, a survey was taken of church attenders. They were asked "which part of the service is your favorite." I loved the answer that got the most votes... "the silent prayer time."
Think of it... a moment of silence. It is the only time in the service when someone isn't trying to get you to think something. In a silent prayer it is just you and God.
Well, lately, I have noticed that I have another favorite time of the service. The benediction. Not because the service is ending, but because it is almost always a very positive word.
Go in peace. Fear not. Go in love. Go with God.
It sends us out on a good footing. It leaves the congregation with a good vibe. We go out on a positive note.
Bene=good diction=word. A good word. I love it.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
