Thought for the month
Thought for March 2024 March is here again, winter we hope is gone. For us older ones we have had more time to sit beside the fire, or in a warm room. But now that spring is here, we seem to have a bit more energy, which reminds us of a chorus we sang years ago. Come on let’s get up and go, On a nice bright sunny morning we seem to get up with a lighter step, of course the sun shows up the dirt which reminds us that we need to get on with the spring cleaning and preparing the garden ready for tilling. Of course, some are unable to get up and go, some of us find that it takes us much longer as we have slowed down. Spring also reminds us of Easter. A very important date in the Christian calendar. A time when over 2000 years ago, the man Jesus lived. The man who lived among men, healed their sick, gave sight to the blind, gave the lame the strength to walk, even raised people from the dead. This same Jesus who did so much good, was nailed to a cross, being accused of things He had not done. Can you imagine how His mother and the disciples felt when they saw the one they loved dying such a cruel death. Yet He went to the cross and died there for you and me. One of our favourite hymns goes like this. Give me a sight O Saviour, of thy wondrous love to me. Was it the nails O Saviour. that bound Thee to the tree? When Easter comes at the end of March, let us thank Jesus for dying so that we night have our fins forgiven, and look forward to a place in Heaven when He comes again. |
