I'm back from a brief trip to Ledbury, with some of my work needing doing this weekend done, although by no means all of it. Sigh, but I should be able to sort it out later on. I'm afraid that I was in a bit of a poor mood over the weekend, and that it may have shown. Apologies for anyone who was in contact with me and felt me being pretty distant. It's fair to say I'm not entirely coping at the moment, and there are times that I don't cover it very well.
Anyway, as it was the topic of the talks at the weekend, being the resurrection, were useful for me. This year has been and continues to be very tough, and although I tend to get into a bit of a poor emotional and mental state, I need to be in mind of what happened on the first Easter and what that means. In particular the fact that my hope is alive because of the resurrection - Christ is the firstfruits of a new life and I can look forward to that with certainty. There is a time coming when things will be renewed and returned to how they should be. When things are bad, I need to remember that it won't be eternal, trust in God, look to the great future He has prepared and cling to the promise that comes by His raising His Son from the dead.
And in the meantime, I shall continue to serve Him and His people on this earth as I wait patiently. Although sometimes my service is lacking, and my patience is often running to the end of its measure.
Soli Deo Gloria. Amen.
