Unfiltered Joy with loved one's

I can't just forget one of those days that started with a lot of excitement and still ends with excitement and happiness. I thank the weather was cool.The sun was really bright but not too hot, also the air was fresh, and our hearts were full with joy and happiness. Me and my Christian brothers and sisters went to a far place to share the Gospel.

The journey was long, but nobody complained. We encouraged each other. When we reached the place, we were splited into different groups and we began to talk to many people. Some welcomed us with wholehearted joy, some listened with a surprise, and some people just smiled and nodded.

After we finished the preaching, we returned to our Kingdom Hall. That was when the real fun begins. We brought out the food like afang soup and Eva and drinks like Palm wine and soft drinks we also carried — rice, puff puff, zobo, and even garri with groundnut and sat outside to enjoy them.

We sat outside under the big shade of the tree, forming a very big circle like a very big family. As we ate, we talked about how our day went althrough. Everybody had one story or the other. One sister said a woman hugged her after hearing the Gospel because she was really happy. Another brother said a man asked him to come back next week.

Then, one of our brother later stood up. He was not the official MC, but once he starts talking, you know laughter is coming. He began with jokes that made everybody laugh. The whole place burst into laughter.

He didn't stop at jokes. He shared some wise words too. “Even Jesus rested,” he said. “So if you’re working every day without rest, you’re not being holy, instead you’re being stubborn and you are also harming yourself” That one made us laugh and think at the same time also.

The joy in that gathering was something special. Laughter filled the air, and you could feel peace in our heart. And truly, these kinds of gatherings help the body. Laughter reduces the stress, and improves breathing, and it also helps the heart. Eating together builds friendship and makes people feel loved. Being outside in fresh air also helps the mind relax.Even the birds in the tree seemed to laugh with us.

It was more than just preaching. It was joy, connection, and plenty laughter. We went out to share the Gospel in a distance Territory, but at last we came back with lovely and heart touching stories and memories we’ll never forget. And next time we go again, I’ll make sure to bring extra stomach for food.😅
