Dear Friends

Sunday 1st December
Dear Friends
Today we meet at at Torthowald to celebrate the first Sunday in Advent 9.45, tea and coffee after the service.
An Advent Reflection
If God’s really out there
Then why does he not see
How earth’s beauty is threatened
By profit and greed
“Why don’t you say something?
Get something done
To undo this mess
And keep it undone
Should you send flooding
Or fires or drought
Or a global pandemic
To sort us all out?
Would that make a difference?
Would that make a start?
Or must all ice caps vanish
Before you melt human hearts?”
Then through my ranting
A voice whispers “I know
My child I took action
A long time ago.
The solution was drastic
Giving all I was able
I dropped my incendiary
Ka-boom in a stable
The answer was sent
Without fire nor smoke
In the life of a child
Was born the world’s hope
The answer to violence
And hardship and war
Can never be always
to bring about more!
Love & prayers
Mhairi
