Ok so it’s a little late, but it’s meant with love. I’ve never been quite so exhausted through a Holy Week and Easter before but for the most part it was wonderful. I need time to think through lots of it but for now, here are a few highlights.
The Maundy Thursday evening service. This service holds lots of precious memories for me, it’s always been a service I’ve managed to sit in rather than lead and often have had quite intense moments of God speaking to me. So to be involved more in the leading was a different experience but I loved it. Washing people’s feet is an odd thing, it’s not top of my list of things I want to do, but increasingly I find it more moving and emotional than I can keep a lid on. This week was no different and I wept as people let me have the priveldge of washing their feet and praying for them as I did it. I so wanted some people to let me who didn’t, but part of the joy is that someone invites you to serve them and you can’t force them.
Friday was mad. most of the things we’d planned came off and the things that didn’t most people didn’t know about! Even Brett’s handmade cross shaped trough didn’t leak too much. But for me the highpoint was being trusted with two children for the day, it’s difficult to explain now, but being able to make their day a good and relief filled one was such a treat.
More to come (but I need to go and see someone now)…
