The Chapel

That was my first day in our new apartment in London(2006)
I woke up only to find,there is an emptiness in my heart
Something was lacking....
Tried to enjoy the breeze coming from the window
The thought of visiting a church came to my mind
Dressed in a white sweater and blue jeans I set off
Can't avoid that woolen cap and gloves in a demanding London weather
I started walking....
I just needed to find a church
Wind was blowing hard....
A few people I met, didn't know about any church nearby
After I walked a lot in a straight road, I found a church
I realized the happiness filling my heart
I got inside
The church was empty
Read the Bible and prayed for a while
Stayed there until I felt calm

On my way back as I was getting nearer to my apartment,
I started hearing the sound of bells
Yes, church bells!
I stopped there and turned around
Learned that the sound was coming from a side road
I ran to that road...
I ran and ran and at last I found this church in the picture
The bell was still ringing
I was so happy and thanked God
This is the church which in turn...
became our parish during our stay there.

When I wrote about this incident in my diary later that day, I was playing Elvis Presley's songs.And guess what happened? The song, 'you saw me crying in the chapel' started to play. That was the first time I was hearing that song of Elvis, which was in my hubby's collection. No need to say that my eyes bulged out with astonishment.
