 A thought for these times of recovery from drought, fires and the continuing presence of the virus.

* In the 1800s, Fritz Reuter, a German novelist, penned a most beautiful description of life, its troubles and its ideal condition.

‘No-one’s life,’ he wrote, ‘flows on such an even course that it does not sometimes come against a dam and a whirl round and round, or somebody throws a stone into the clear water.

Something happens to everyone, and we must take care that the water stays clear and the heaven and earth reflect it.’

From The Friendship Book, 2020 for the 20 May.

      Ascension Luke 24:44-53
The Ascension matters more than most of us realise. We often read this passage and become dazed by the scientific impossibility of Jesus levitating to a Heaven in the clouds.
Which is to miss the point entirely.
The death and resurrection of Jesus is not simply a cold and passionless transaction, paying off guilt for a disembodied afterlife. It is instead completely passionate - a divine embrace of and 'taking up' of the whole of Jesus.
All that He has been - as a child, a friend, a teacher, a healer, a prophet, a criminal, and as God's Son - is now fully embraced by God. All of who Jesus is, is taken up into God's presence. And that is the measure and mark of God's reconciliation.
All of who we are, all of that which creation is, will be embraced and taken up in the Resurrection of Jesus.
It all matters to God.
And they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.' V52.
