We are moving. And because we are moving we are packing up. We are moving from the Roman Catholic Church where we have been for nearly 2 years into the new Beacon Centre. That means lots of boxes, files and papers. Everywhere. I quite like moving because it means clearing out. Streamlining.
During the course of this process I have had to make some difficult sentimental decisions: to throw or not to throw - that is the question. Do I keep that document, photo, sermon (!) just in case or chuck it? Some of the items I have found are reminders of God's blessing upon us as a church - people, meetings, letters. Others are reminders of a life changed and healed with a touch from the King of Kings. There are sobering reminders too from old church membership lists of marriages broken and families shattered.
All in all a healthy exercise to thank God and learn from the past and move on with gratitude and hope..
