I am returning to Church and work after a period of sick leave. For me, returning to Church is an exciting and uplifting experience.

My return to work from sick leave signifies a significant step towards recovering my health and reclaiming a sense of normalcy. You can also apply my principles if you have been away from your Church Fellowship for some time.

Here are some reasons why you might find yourself feeling happy and enthusiastic about returning to work or coming back to Church after a break:

1. Regaining your routine: Being on sick leave or away from Church for some reason often disrupts your daily routine, leading to imbalance and disconnection.

Returning to work or Church means returning to a familiar rhythm and structure. Resuming your regular activities and establishing a sense of normalcy can be comforting.

2. Reconnecting with colleagues and friends: Workplaces and Churches are often filled with camaraderie and social interactions. Returning from sick leave or away for some reason allows you to reconnect with your colleagues, share stories, and catch up on what you’ve missed. These interactions boost your mood and contribute to a positive work environment.

3. Sense of accomplishment: Getting back to work or Church signifies that you have conquered the physical or mental challenges that previously held you back. It’s a testament to your resilience, determination, and faith. Embracing your return to work or to Church is a way to celebrate your progress and acknowledge your ability to overcome setbacks.

4. Professional or Spiritual growth: Work and attending Church provide personal and professional growth opportunities.

By returning to your job or Church, you can continue to build on your skills, expand your knowledge, and contribute to meaningful projects. Engaging in challenging tasks and achieving goals can foster a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction, positively impacting your overall well-being.

5. Financial stability: Work is essential for many people’s financial stability and security. Returning from sick leave means resuming regular income, which can alleviate the stress and worry of being away from work. This financial stability can enhance your sense of security and happiness.

6. Contributing to a larger purpose: Work and attending Church often offer a sense of purpose and belonging because by being part of a team or a larger organisation, you get to make meaningful contributions to your profession or society.

Making a difference and serving the Lord Jesus can bring great joy and fulfilment, reminding you of your value to your work and the world.

Remember, taking time off when you’re unwell is okay and necessary. But taking time out from Church can harm you in the long run. Many people who take a leave of absence for the church never come back. Also, folk tend to cut off the Church friendships they have forged over the years, thereby losing a dynamic support system. If you are recovering from a sickness and can’t drive, ask another church member to give you a lift to Church. If you ask, I am sure someone will be happy to pick you up and deliver you back home.

The excitement and happiness you feel upon returning to work or to Church signify your progress towards recovery and rejoining the activities you enjoy, and praying for you and a seamless transition back into the workplace and the Church place!
