It was Sunday, and it was one of those days that felt perfectly balanced, needed much rest as well and crowning the day with joyful celebration. I woke up from bed feeling partially refresh because the previous night, Barcelona won my team (Real Madrid) and the oppression from barcelona fans was toomuch.
I began my day earlier than usual, knowing i had church service at 9am. I got up from bed by 7am after i carried out my usual morning routing. I later had a quick shower, i dressed in my sunday casual outfit (blue jean jacket over a white t-shirt and a black trouser) which was simple yet cool. I grabbed my Bible before heading out.
The walk to church was peaceful. Initially i thought of taking my bike but then something whispered to me that i should walk instead since i was not late. The streets were quiet making my short journey even more pleasant. It took me about 20minutes from my place to reach church. As i entered the church, the familiar warmth of my fellow instrumentalist greeted me, the choir was already singing as their harmonies filled the church witha sense of reverence. At exactly 9am, we had opening prayer, which was followed by a moment of praise and worship.
Church service was uplifting but in music and the pastors sermon. I was playing the Bass guitar which is my second best instrument after the saxophone. The pastor sermon was about gratitude and finding joy in small blessings.
This was exactly what i needed to hear today. We sang hymns danced and prayed together and by the time the service ended i felt spiritually fulfilled, ready to face the coming week ahead.
After church i walked back home, my mind was still thinking about the sermon. When i got home, my stomach growled, i know it was time for lunch. I decided to enter the kitchen to make something simple. I fried dodo and eggs for lunch.
After eating, i open my whatsapp on my phone and catching up on messages and social media.
After eating, i felt the urge to rest before heading out for a surprise birthday party with my friend who plays the guitar.
By 4pm, i was in full preparation mode for the party with my saxophone and about to nail it.
Due to the long distance i had to take my bike along this time and in addition i had just barely 30 minutes to be there. Before 4:30 pm i was there and the program was about starting. My friend was set with his guitar, i connected my saxophone mic doing some light animation with my friend.
By 5pm, the program started with the entrance of the birthday celebrant as we played and sang the birthday song. He was celebrating his 50th birthday. Since we started late, the program was ofcourse brief due to insecurity in town.
The program finally ended with refreshment after which i carried my friend on my bike and first of drop him at his place before heading back home.
