AT YOUR SERVICE - 7 MARCH 2021
Once again, we're AT YOUR SERVICE with words, thoughts and music to lift you up, whilst we're locked down. This week, we feature another Gareth Moore recording, as he sings and plays a fine male voice choir arrangement - by John Tudor Davies - of 'I hear thy welcome voice'.
We know the top priority now is to bring the Covid-19 situation under control,
but I think all of us are feeling some limitations of life at the moment.
There’s a lot we can’t do, people we can’t see, places we can’t visit.
We have time that perhaps we’re not used to,
but fewer choices as to what to do with it.
These are without doubt difficult times, but it occurred to me that coinciding with the weeks of Lent might give us another way to look at our time in lockdown.
Lent is the time the church asks us to use, to prepare to celebrate the great feast of Easter - the day Jesus rose from the dead - the event at the very heart of the Christian faith. It's been said that Lent is a time to 'spring clean' our life - to look at ourselves, our values, our spiritual journey and see where it’s leading - and if there are things we might do better ….. In these times of lockdown, when home is the safest place to be, and our time of daily exercise is more precious than just an ordinary walk - I’m wondering if we might start to really appreciate how special is the ordinariness of life …….Cathy explains how she does it ..... And we all want to be accepted - to belong - to fit in - so, also on today's programme, we hear Dylan's story, as he searches for a place of acceptance - and finds it, not in people, but in a familiar Bible story.
And there's plenty of music, too!
ON THE PROGRAMME NEXT WEEK WE’LL BE CELEBRATING MOTHERING SUNDAY ……
Would you like to help me create a 'Moment for mums, mums no longer with us but treasured in our hearts, and people who have been like a mother to us' If you would, simply send me their name - add a little word about them if you wish - and maybe let me know if they have a favourite hymn - and I’ll include them all in next week’s programme - email: [email protected]
I'd love hear from you!
