Today is All Saints day and my first day back at All Saints Church. The Church was full. The children presented me with a "Welcome Home" card which they had made. It was very touching.
It is good to back.
I have come back refreshed. I have come back with new enthusiasm and purpose. There is a lot to be done. There are a myriad opportunities in this parish. I haven't come back with any master plan but with a sharper focus.
Prayer has never been a really easy option for me. I struggle. However this time has led me to a deepening experience of the joy of prayer. Contemplative prayer with an emphasis on reading, reflecting, responding and resting has become part of this journey. I hope to ensure that it will be part of the continuing journey.
This is called a Sabbatical blog and now the Sabbatical is done I wonder what next? Do I quit these ramblings or find a new voice? I will give it some thought. There is a lot more I would like to say.
