Springtime

Spring is with us. St. Brigid’s Day has been celebrated. The days are lengthening. There is hope in the air and we look forward with that hope in our hearts. The trees are still bare and naked. They are holding their ground. They have endured the cold and frost but as always they will wait in patience, trust and hope.

They know ‘dying and coming to life again’ and that in time all will be well again.

It is in a sense your story and mine and if we can be still a while and look in wonder and awe, the trees may have a message for us.

Our climate can vary and the circumstances of all our lives but it is important for us to remember the verses:

”We are companions on the journey
We are travellers on the road
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and share the load”

We are not isolated pebbles on the beach. We are meant to watch out for one another. Together we can find the way and climb any mountain ahead.

The Season is almost with us and it gives us again the opportunity to become fit in mind, heart, spirit and body and become that blessing to the world and to others that we are meant to be.

So let’s go with that Lenten spring in our steps…..
