It had been a fairly depressing day. A whole lot of stuff carrying the message that all that I have devoted my ministry to is not getting anywhere and is marginalised. Then I leave the office to return home. I don't notice the blue sky and sunshine (it is the beginning of April) until I pass a fairly scruffy man. His appearance would have normally led me to expect a plea for some change for a cuppa. Instead I receive beaming smile. "Isn't this sunshine lovely" he says. Awoken to my surroundings I reply "Gorgeous!". "Thank you sir" the man responds.
I didn't accept any responsibility for the nice day, far from it, but I know who does and I am thankful for the man who draws my attention to the simple hope that is in a sunny spring day, with the prospect of more to come. Comments are closed.

These reflections, which are all personal to me, spring from many aspects of human life and experience. In their variety the common thread is the place and action of God, who is present in it all. Archives
