Lifting holy hands above.

For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the sky, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies..........for the mystic harmony linking sense to sound and sight (TIS 13)
So much around us in today's world has the potential to cause us despair and impact on our well being. But don't let any of that cause you to lose your joy in the Lord for Oh how we also live in a world of wonder and delight. Yesterday I had the  perfume of the new mown grass mingled with the sight of wattle blossoms bursting with bright,yellow from every individual bloom, packed with a real punch of perfume that sent me back to where I grew up as a child. God so blesses us when we come out of the gloom of winter into the season of spring where he showers us with so much joy from his treasure chest of colour, perfume, and sound. And as I reflect on these things I am blessed with  the beautiful warble of a pair of Magpies singing their joy. Take each day for what it is, balancing  in it the prayers for  the dramas of the world and the joy of the Lord.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord.
The light of spring rising through the winter gloom.
