I have been giving a lot of thought to our two totally different churches we attend. The larger and more lifely church with its comfortable seats has really the same goal our smaller more conservative United Church. Particapation and involment as we pray and worship together.
A time to reconnect to God and to join in with others who share our faith.
Yesterday at Colebrook the candles were light and there is now a big pile of rocks over which flows calming water. This is a time to catch our breath and experience the healing touch of oil.
This is a time to reflex on past regrets knowing the gift of amazing grace washes away all the guilt and regrets. A time to find new hope and new energy to inspire us.
I am reminded of the beauty and peace that makes this day different for those of us who set time apart to rest in the silence of prayer hoping for a glimpse of Holiness.
I wonder why some people seem to suffer so much more than others? God's ways are certainly higher than ours and some things we can only see as we look back to discover deeper blessings.
