From our Assistant Priest, Rona...
May we all continue to know God’s Holy Spirit working and moving in our lives following the Conference last weekend, whether we were there in person or in spirit. A special ‘thank you’ to Andy, Matt and Jacqui, our organising team and to all who attended.
Toward the end of the 3rd term each year I have to acknowledge a personal grief as our young men and women reach upward and spread their wings. Having shared their musical journeys in mostly one-on-one situations, our Pupil/Teacher relationships morph into something far greater, more of a mutual sharing of knowledge, understanding, encouragement and support. As friends for life, I will miss them, but I know too that next year will bring more students seeking to develop their musical talents, and so it continues on.
would like to share a special and poignant verse I received while in hospital recently from a friend of several years ago. ‘I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have forgotten to fly.’ Life is good, life is precious and we are so blessed by our friends, be they seven, seventeen, or seventy! There is always more to learn about them and ourselves and, as we make our way through life, we have the personal company of our best ever friend - our Lord Jesus Christ who is with us in every situation - even the grey, gravelly tunnels of the unknown … ‘Yeah, tho’ I walk through the shadow of the valley of death Thou art with me, Thy rod and staff, they comfort me …’ I leave you to complete this wonderful Psalm 23 in your quiet time with The Lord; may it give you the same reassurance and the comfort and the blessing that it gives to me. God Bless you all into this coming week.
