Tonight the clocks go forward and we will have more daylight for a time. Guess that is a little like our lives - there are times of greater light than others.
How reliable the seasons are and it makes me wonder why we ever despair! Just as the seasons come and go, so do the dark and light seasons of our lives.
Let's make the most of the season of greater light, drawing everything possible from it - every joy, every glorious encounter with others and with God. When there is a little less light, we can look back and continue to draw joy and encouragement from what was before, knowing that it will come round again.
Why in our human frailty do we always think this moment is our "all" and take what it gives us as being all we will ever have. How quickly we forget the joys, sorrows, blessings, of other such moments in time.
Lord, give us the wisdom to look a little wider;
give us hearts that expand and hold a little more;
give us hope in the darkness;
give us memory of the light;
Help us to remember that just as yesterday came and went;
so tomorrow is just as likely to do the same.
Hold us in Your great heart that is so much bigger than ours
and help us to hold on to that in order that we might have
something precious to share with another as the moments come and go.
