Suddenly, when we sing a familiar hymn from down the ages of the older people, faces light up, voices are raised and memory fills the singing. That happens at the aged care facility when we sing the likes of 'All things bright and Beautiful' I was reading some works of Henry Gariepy who said: 'He (God) polished the eye of every tiny insect, painted the bell on the Lilly and crafted the exquisite geometry of the snowflake. He is the one who has made 'all things bright and beautiful.' Somehow its that sense of 'God is in control' that sits deep within us from the beginning of our faith. A God who can so powerfully create tiny detail and momentous expanse of mountain and sea yet is a God who know the depth of you and me. In this troubled and anxious world let us hold strong to the God of our childhood, the God of our faith formation, the God who has journeyed with us through life, the God who never leaves us, the God who is only a prayer (or a hymn) away.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord
