Treasures uncovered.

 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. Matthew 13:45

I was reflecting, as I enjoyed the early quiet and cool of the sacred space, about uncovered treasures and there are many in the garden as flower and vegetable seeds rise from beneath the soil into things of beauty and value and some are the real 'pearl of great price'  There are many treasures to uncover in daily life if we have our eyes fixed on our surroundings. Even a long line of sheep walking in a paddock towards life giving water can uncover 'the pear of great price, as our mind goes to the shepherd of the sheep, Jesus, and how he is 'living water.'  Then there is the long, regimented looking vines in the vineyard that  speak of Jesus saying: , I am the vine you are the branches.' and there are so many more. As we go out into community today let us keep our eyes and minds open to the presence of God. May he show us many a 'pear of great price' in the ordinary.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.     Anne, servant of the Lord.

I am the vine, you are the branches.
