JACQUI’S MEDITATION
From little things………
We used to have a large elm tree in our front garden but during a storm it split and as a result had to be removed. We replaced it with a different tree, but I am constantly reminded of the elm because there are always tiny little elm tree shoots coming up around the site where the big tree was. These shoots are very tiny only about 1cm long and easy to remove, but if left to grow, who knows what we might end up with in our front garden.
The other day, whilst I was on my knees pulling them out, my thoughts turned to the seeds we sow for God’s Garden. We may think they have fallen on rocky ground and will never amount to anything but just as the elm seedlings keep on coming up, so might the words or actions that we have planted. Let’s make sure that with our words and deeds, God’s light is shown.
Lord, we thank you for the light you have given our world, please help us to shine it in your name. Amen
