Well, what a topsy turvey month March was. From the beginning of the month we had a few days of warm sunshine, which was very welcome after the dull, dark, cold days previously. Then it was as if the weather didn’t know what to do – there was some sunshine, but a cold wind and frosty nights, but hardly any rain.
Although the weather was so changeable, it didn’t stop the gardens bursting into life with Spring flowers and even the Hawthorn hedges were showing green shoots. It seems that nature loved the March weather, and we can be amazed at how beautiful Britain is, as we see the Blackthorns and the Catkins in bloom. We truly are custodians of a wonderful world.
There is a Native American proverb,
“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.”
It is a wonderful way to look at things and let’s hope it’s an acorn of wisdom that will grow and grow.
When I was at Grammar school, we had to buy dinner tickets on Monday morning for the week. If you didn‘t pay for the tickets or lost them, you couldn’t have a dinner. Then a few days ago my Granddaughter told me her son orders his school dinner by his fingerprint, which then goes to his mother’s credit card. How are we of a certain age ever going to understand all these technical changes?
Lord, don’t let us be like porridge, slow to get ready and hard to stir. Instead make us be like cornflakes, always prepared and ready to serve.
