As I write this we are about to enter into a new national (English) lockdown.
It won't be quite as severe as the first one earlier this year, but nevertheless
it will be a difficult time for many people. Perhaps we had hoped that by
now we might have been moving out of the pandemic rather than getting
more deeply caught up in it. That it would have all been over by Christmas,
but alas that is not the case.
As Christians we are called by God to be present to where we are and try to
see what is most deeply going on. To recognise what is most important and
what we can do without and to remember those things when we do finally
emerge from this crisis. At a global level surely we can see there is a greater
need for international co-operation rather than competition, and a need for
a greater sense of stewardship of the earth and the environment. To care for
the most vulnerable and fragile in our society and to be grateful for all who
put themselves at risk for others.
To also ask ourselves what can we do? To ring somebody we know who is
lonely and might need a bit of shopping. To be more patient and
understanding of the people we live with.To be kinder to ourselves.
To slow down and take stock, to pray and be still.
To walk humbly with God who walks at our side in Jesus.
