Getting Creative!

Whilst a partially finished jigsaw is about as creative as I have got in all my additional hours at home. Some have shown much more skill and beauty.

Kate Sanders has shared an image of the painting her husband Dai has been working on during their 14 day quarantine.

It has been called 'Hope' to mark this rather unique time.


Anybody have any other creations to share?

    It is lovely I wrote this yesterday for a creative group I am part of

    Thoughts on watching a butterfly

    Oh butterfly you fly so freely .

    As humans we thought we ruled the earth once.


    We could go hither and thither .

    We were free we thought .
    Never did we think a virus would come along to cease out constant travel .

    A new p!an had to be thought of .

    Thankfully we had devices ,internet and we came to see that miles of travel were not always needed
    .Much could be done from home .

    Butterfly , butterfly I stood and envied you flying freely when I and others were constrained by 'social distancing ' ' no mixing with other households '.

    We need touch but that is forbidden .

    But maybe , oh butterfly maybe we will think of those who are at home after this has gone .

    Maybe we will be so thankful for parts of life we took for granted .
    A rainy day and a ride on a crowded day .
    A hug.
    Someone nearer than two metres away

    It seems endless now but maybe this had to be and maybe we will emerge a different ,beautiful ,kinder , living world like you ,oh butterfly, when you emerged from your cocoon different from his you were .

    Wouldnt that be worth the pain of today ?



    Thanks debs

    Maybe,oh maybe , oh butterfly,

Midday tomorrow!

Image
Over recent weeks, in both our morning congregations, we've been trying connect with one another's lives beyond 'Sunday' by hearing from someone about what they will be doing the following day. Obviously this has normally meant Monday morning - but this week we are shifting the question to the end of the week and asking...  'What will you be doing at midday tomorrow (Friday 27th)?' In current circumstances it might be tempting to think everyone's at home, yet the reality is that we're much more diverse than that - not only do we have a number of 'essential workers' in the church family, who are 'out' at work but whose jobs look very different to normal, but those of us working or doing school at home will be establishing different patterns and focusing on very varied things, and of course retirees will be finding their own rhythms to the day.  So whether it is gardening, a maths class (doing it or trying to teach one), accou

Reaching your neighbours - the Mezei's front window!

It feels like yesterday we were doing Christmas in our house. Last year we so enjoyed getting ready for it, celebrating Advent, probably the proper way for the first time. Lockdown has its uses J ! As Lent came round we asked ourselves why we give more importance to Advent and not to Lent. Surely both are as important! Both are amazing news for humanity. So we decided to do Advent the ‘right’ way this year. Of course, with a one and four year old, it might look a lot different to how others celebrate it, but we found ways to involve everyone in our family and to make it meaningful. In December, like others in the church, we made use of our front window to make a giant nativity scene. Let’s just say that if anyone had any doubts we were Christians, they now knew better! The kids so enjoyed making it and adding to it as Advent progressed (although Clara was not too sure she liked her baby doll in the window!). But most of all we loved seeing people stop to look at the scene and read
