The Wonder of the Cross – Day 19 – Blessing And Honour
Travelling towards Easter, and Lent can get a bit messy so we may want it to be done with. In reality the end of Lent is not so much about playing a Finale but singing an Overture.

If we seem to receive a stone when we pray today, let us rejoice, for we know the blessed secret of the rock and the flint.
Let us turn to our Father. Then, though our questions may not be answered… we shall surely hear in the depths of our hearts good and comfortable words.
Yes, I like the idea of a life of riding peacefully at anchor
Yes, I look forward to, like the weaned child of Psalm 131, having a soul at peace.
No, I’m not at all sure I want our Beloved to be in complete control of my life!
… joy of joys we discover, along with Vicky, that sometimes what we thought was broken was beautiful all along. And this has been so since our beloved breathed the Breath of Life into us.
Whether it is rain or sunshine for us today, let us begin our song with thanksgiving.
We don’t go out alone into any endeavour.
Before the service, speak to God;
During the service, allow God to speak to you;
After the service, speak to one another…
The way of obedience is the way of joy.
Love, thou didst enter very softly in
To hold this heart of mine.
No sound, no stir, no sign!
How couldst thou cross my threshold all unseen?
