Message from the Manse
I don’t know about you but for me, winter has
seemed very long, but we can now see and enjoy the signs that Spring is on the
way.
As I’m sure most of you know I really enjoy
the sunshine so cold, grey winter days are not uplifting for me. I have also
been struggling with my health and feeling extremely tired so I decided to do
something about it – to give myself something positive to look forward to
through the winter. I bought 40 spring bulbs for the garden (daffodils and
tulips). I could plant them and then enjoy the harvest when they grew. Unfortunately,
I got distracted and didn’t plant them in the Manse garden until mid-December! Not
being a confident gardener, and knowing I had left it very late, I wasn’t
expecting any great results but …..
Two weeks ago I started seeing signs of new
life and currently I have about 20 daffodils in bloom along the borders.
This inspired me as I began preparing for the
Easter events, activities and services.
After the darkness of winter comes the
glorious colours of spring showing signs of new life - just as Jesus offers us
new life after the darkness of Good Friday, with his sacrifice on the cross,
come the glories of resurrection on Easter Morning.
Like the stone rolled away from the tomb, God
rolls away our despair, bringing light and hope to those who have the eyes to
see it. The empty tomb tells us that life, love and hope have the final word.
Jesus is alive and active in our lives today
and always so let us hold onto this message of hope and share that light and
hope with all who need it, not only on Easter Morning but every day, whatever
the weather because Christ is risen, He is risen indeed!
Grace and peace, Ruth
