JACQUI’S MEDITATION
Bugs
There was talk on the garden show last week about fruit trees and how to avoid grubs in the produce. After all, how awful is it to bite into an apple and see a grub, or worse still, (as the joke goes) half a grub? Imagine how great it would be if there was a cure for fruit that had bugs in it, something that could eradicate all trace of the invader and restore the piece of fruit to its original state.
Forget the apples, cleansing and restoring, that is what God offers us! As we celebrate Christmas let’s remember that it was the birth, followed by the death of Jesus, that means we can have a relationship with God. Being part of Gods’ family allows us to be renewed, to be made clean again.
Lord you gave the world the gift of yourself in the form of Jesus. We thank you for his willingness to take on our sin so that we may be cleansed.
Amen

peace and joy to all mankind.
