At our Ministerial/Food Bank meeting this week it was mentioned that women's hygiene items are something that would be gratefully received. Thinking of the women who travelled with Jesus and stood at the Cross with him . . . an "Easter Basket" will be at the front of the church for the next couple of weeks should you wish to make a contribution of hygiene necessities for women and girls . . . And as we continue our Lenten journey . . .
May we go in Christ's Light and Love
Blessings . . . Rev. Susan

For this day we know as Ash Wednesday . . . and the beginning of our Lenten journey . . .

May the dust of the wilderness hold our footprints
lovingly
shaped as they are by your hurt
for dust remembers

May the journey into wilderness unfold
honestly
for honesty is the gift
your soul recognises as you

May your time in this wilderness
be shaped by space
rather than minutes
so there is time enough for all of you

May the stones in this wilderness
cry out your name loudly
that your spirit recognises the voice
that has been calling you always

And may you know this wilderness
has been expecting you
and you find between the stones
a promise growing

As the two previous posts share . . . certainly this is a time for reflection and prayer . . . for care and compassion . . . for outstretched hearts and hands, and in that spirit, may we as individuals, and as the community of Nanton, continue to work together that we might know peace . . . in our hearts and in our own backyard , holding these words near . . .

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
And he whose heart beats quickest lives the longest:
Lives in one hour more than in years do some
~ Philip James Bailey (1816 ~ 1902)

With thanks to Rae Domenico . . . This is the poignant prayer that Bhikkhu Pannakara spoke at the end of his message at the Lincoln Memorial. What a special and lasting gift to guide our steps into the future. I imagine that he wrote it, but I'm not sure. I added the photo as a background.

Providing God,

With people across the country and around the world,
we seek your care as we bear witness to the mass shooting in the community of Tumbler Ridge.

Provide solace for all affected.
Provide comfort to those overwhelmed by grief.
Provide compassionate strength to those who are providing support to the broken-hearted.

Providing God,
guide us, as we continue to the build the world you have imagined:

A world where a child's right to learn, laugh, love and live is cherished and protected in every village – everywhere;
A world without violence;
A world where the most vulnerable among us feel safe, cherished and protected, always.

For the sake of Christ who entrusted us to each other,
may it be so.

Amen.
