Deacon’s Message

We’ve had a week of beautiful sunny weather! We celebrated the spring weather by spending time working in our garden – pulling up all the weeds that had taken root over the winter & pruning our roses. The problem with ‘gardening’, at least as we western settlers do it, is that we think we can force nature to do our will. Unfortunately, creation doesn’t always follow our plans. I have a wall plaque that says “A weed is just an unloved flower”. Maybe there are some “unloved flowers” in your garden. Life can be like that – things are going well and you’re happy, but then something happens to spoil your perfect life. Like a weed, it forces you to rethink the plans you have made.Where and what are the weeds in you life that may need more love to transform them into something beautiful. In peace, Eileen
