Good Day

It has been a good day.

The sun shone.


I wandered around the cathedral cloisters in Worcester,
admiring the decorated Christmas trees.
Some are surprising,
some quirky,
some predictable
but some are challenging - reminding me how very fortunate I am to live within a relatively peaceful and affluent society.
Sadly not everyone is as fortunate.


We wandered along the bank of the Severn, towards Diglis lock.
A lone canoeist passed by,
leaving ripples that soon dissipated.
That is like my life, Lord.
I am here n this earth for such a relatively short time.
Who will remember me when I am gone?

It is quite sobering to realise
how little effect our lives will have.
How soon we will be just a name on a family tree, researched on a website?


Today was a good day.
We sat and chatted in a cafe.
Then we encountered a bottleneck of buggies in the ladies!

Today was a good day,
we watched the sun set behind the Malverns,
as we drove down the highway.

Later we can be busy, but in this season of Advent, take time to:-
...Watch the arc of water falling from his paddle, catching the light.
...Let God speak to you, through pictures and words.
...Let God open our eyes to the needs of others.
