The Unveiling

 ‘This, I think, is good’ he said, sitting back with a broad smile on his face.

‘ really very good indeed’

Those invited to the grand unveiling gathered round, open mouthed

‘It’s amazing! exclaimed one

Murmurs of assent rose from the room

‘It’s so beautiful; but what is it for?’

‘It is for me to enjoy.  It has been made by my hands and I have taken much care over it.  I am invested in this more than anything I have ever created’ he replied

‘What are you going to do with it?’

He looked around at them, a fondness in his eyes

‘This is very precious to me’  he spoke gently

‘I’m never going to let it out of my sight.  I shall never make another. It is unique’

They hadn’t ever  seen him like this before, many were deeply moved by his passion

‘I love it all’ he spoke again ‘ but this part here I love the most’

Many eyes strained to see the imperceptibly small part indicated

‘What exactly is that?’ asked one from the back of the assembly

‘ I call it Mount Padah’ he said.

‘They will call it Golgotha’

Happy Easter

Image
 The tomb is empty.  The promises are true.  The suffering was worth it.  There is a point to it all. There is more to life than this.  God is real.  He loves me.  Hallelujah! May your Easter Day be blessed with new revelation, lots of joy and maybe even some chocolate. Thank you for being a part of my Lent journey yet again this year.  It is always a challenge - in fact I think it gets harder every year.  But its always worthwhile because I always discover something new every time.  And your comments and observations always make me smile and think.   Lots of love Caz xx

Light of the world

 If Jesus is the Light of the world, then how come there is so much darkness?  Where is Jesus in Mariupol?  Where was Jesus during Covid?   We know He is always there but so often it seems hard to see Him.  His light is so bright and His presence so vast how can it be that sometimes we cant see Him? Perhaps the reason is something like this......... The moon is tiny in comparison with the sun.  Its a speck.  Of no significance whatsoever.  And yet when it gets itself in between the sun and the earth it can blot out the light and warmth of that huge star and plunge us into darkness. This is a picture of what Satan does, He is insignificant compared with the might and majesty and power of God.  Utterly meaningless. He has no power, no light, no warmth and nothing at all that can do us any good.   His main objective is to get himself between us and God so that the lights go out and darkness descends.   I have friends who are in a ...

Music

Apparently one of the oldest musical instruments to be discovered dates back 40,000 years and has been found on three separate continents.  Its a set of rocks which can be hit with another rock to make different sounds - a stone xylophone if you will.  Almost as ancient are the hollowed out bones with holes drilled in them which have been discovered all over the place indicating that people were making music long before they were doing most other things.  Like living in houses or farming or writing or pretty much anything else.   Why?  Most things people do are done for some practical reason.  Our ancestors developed skills in order to either defend themselves, grow more or better food, or make life more comfortable in some way.  But the playing of music and the making of musical instruments does nothing 'useful'.  The only use I can think of for making music might be the singing of a mother to soothe her child.  Or possibly the chanting...
