บท 68: The Intentional Encounter

As Marilena drives home from church on a peaceful Sunday morning, the gentle hum of her car's engine is accompanied by the soothing melodies of gospel music playing softly through the speakers. With a contented smile on her face, she reflects on the inspiring sermon she just heard, feeling uplifted and refreshed.

As she approaches the grocery store, Marilena's thoughts turn to the week ahead, mentally planning out meals and errands. Grocery shopping has become a cherished ritual for her, a chance to stock up on fresh ingredients and indulge in a bit of culinary creativity.

Pulling into the parking lot, Marilena finds a spot near the entrance and switches off the engine. Stepping out of the car, she inhales the crisp morning air, a sense of anticipation bubbling within her. With her shopping list in hand, she makes her way into the store, the familiar sights and sounds welcoming her like an old friend.
