Certainly not. I only meant not being able to sit with my wife and participating in the service together.

But I am puzzled by “Most will not have the opportunity to worship with their families”. Well, maybe you will not be physically next door to your families, but I guess you can in general be in the same hall. But I hope that you musicians are not suggesting that you will not be able to worship yourselves. If your playing music for God is not primarily your worship to him, but is only performing, then in my opinion you ought to stop playing in church worship meetings and put on secular concerts instead. For worship leaders need first of all to be worshippers themselves.

That certainly puts things in perspective. Recovery is a good way of looking at some very profound things God has done and is doing through Jesus in us. Life, for me, is full of these kinds of bumps and things. I will say “thank you” then to the musicians who lead us into reminders this weekend; thanks for the suggestion of a tangible expression of gratitude.
