Yesterday Josh and I attended the Good Friday service at church. It was unusual in many ways - the room was set out differently from normal, we had communion right at the beginning, the lights were gradually turned out throughout. But the most striking thing was right at the end when the whole congregation just sat in complete silence, in the almost dark. Nobody moved. The only sound was the air conditioning system gently purring. There were a couple of hundred people - including quite a lot of children all sitting completely still in absolute quiet. It was profound.
We have lost the art of being totally still and quiet. But it is good for us.
This Easter Saturday as we wait for the celebrations coming tomorrow let us sit quietly and at peace, resting our souls and spirits in the understanding that we are hugely loved, deeply forgiven and totally accepted.
