Friday

Today was a day of travelling - this morning there were young and old people in church at the good friday 'holiday' club. It was lovely to see both young and old enjoying being in church playing together, listening and watching the story of the last few hours of Jesus' life. Sadness and joy at the same time - and then to see mum who was 88 today. And again sadness and joy - sadness as she is so much older and not well and joy at a life lived well and for God.

then home in time to go to church again for a service of compline - there were only 3 of us and it was a special time although quiet. It made me reflect on how busy we are that for me the day went without really having time to 'simply sit and be with Jesus' at the cross. It was important for me to go and spend time with mum though, and so tonight was good to simply sit for a while in the stillness and reflect....
