JULY'S LETTER

Dear All,

Well at long last it feels like summer is upon us, I am writing this on the longest day, so for those of you who see the glass half full, summer is here, and the warm balmy evening are on their way. For those of you who see a half empty glass, its all down hill form here, the nights are drawing in and next Christmas is closer than last Christmas! 

Actually that is something that has always amazed me, how we can perceive the same things so differently.  Indeed what is good for one is so often not so good for another….  Do we see the £20 note blown to us on the wind as a gift from God, or some other poor person accident and loss? Maybe that’s why not all our prayers are always answered as we would want. For us to have our prayer  would be at the cost to others? (My recent prayers for a slump in the Euro, to aid my purchases, may well have caused some of you some difficulties! … sorry!) 

And of course the reality is that sometimes what we think we want are not always what we really  need, and sometimes the very  things we definitely don’t want can  be,  on reflection the very things we really need!

 

With my love and prayers
Fr. John
