‘Spring adds new life and new joy to all that is’ (Jessica Harrelson)Lent brings fresh challenges each day, keep going, the hope of Easter is in sight.
The full moon is illuminating the night sky as this update goes out. We see the last day of February ‘the little black month’ give way to March. Will the new month come in like a lion and go out like a lamb? One thing for sure March heralds the Spring and with it hope – hope for better days and warmer weather.March you old blusterer, what will you bring?Sunny Days, stormy days, under your wing?No matter which it be,You will bring spring."Eleanor FarjeonIn some parts of the country it’s time to sow seeds, I wonder who remembers the rhyme my father sang to me ?"Four seeds in a hole:One for the rook, and one for the crowAnd one to rot, and one to grow.""As long as the earth remains, there will be seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,summer and winter, day and night. Genesis 8.22
