Vintage Fisher Price boy, baseball cap sideways, red
freckles scattered over a grumpy face, found lurking under a living room chair.
That – and the sheets and towels hanging up drying – remind us of a weekend of
laughter and fun as most of the family gathered. Four wee cousins together for
the first time: precious. Priceless moments to be savoured.
Blessing upon blessing. By coincidence (!), our reading this
morning was Isaiah 61:1-3. Verse 3 was God’s promise last year, a promise graciously
fulfilled: during this year we have watched and experienced God’s loving hand
on our lives, comforting all who mourn, bestowing a crown of beauty instead of
ashes, anointing with the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and bedecking us
all in a garment of praise as wee Eliott joins cousins Callan, Felicity and
Gregor.
God is good. As peace settles back on this rather empty
home, our memories pop with moments relived, of laughter and joy, love and
conversation, fun and an unspoken communion between us all.
Happy Monday.
