Pauser for Thought

Pauser for Thought

From Reverend Sharon Grenham-Toze, Anglican Priest and Prison Chaplain:

听

As you know I love climbing mountains, and last week I was on retreat in the Lake District with a group of prison chaplains. During the week we combined prayer and reflection with walking the fells. Away from the pressures of work it was a chance to focus again on what we鈥檙e doing and why.

听

It was also a time of being pushed to the limit physically, and facing my fears. Because although I love mountains I鈥檓 not very good with heights - especially the sheer drop on one side whilst walking on loose stones variety!听 So there I was clambering over Crinkle Crags (850 m - 2828 ft), whilst muttering under my breath 鈥榶ou have got to be kidding me.鈥� It seemed a completely mad and impossible undertaking - but I was crazy enough to carry on and I鈥檝e lived to tell the tale!

听

We were supposed to relate our day鈥檚 climbing to the spiritual realm, and it wasn鈥檛 hard to do. Sometimes life seems to lead us along a seemingly impossible pathway, where we鈥檙e pushed to the limit and would really rather give up and go home.听 But we carry on and we鈥檙e glad we did in the end.

听

There鈥檚 another thought that struck me too 鈥�

听

Today when the needs of others seem to grow and grow, and our few quid or couple of hours for charity doesn鈥檛 seem like much of an offering against all that need, of course we鈥檙e tempted to mutter 鈥榶ou have got to be kidding me.鈥�

But there鈥檚 a Benedictine blessing written by a nun called Sister Ruth Fox, which I think I鈥檓 going to make my life鈥檚 motto. It ends like this: 鈥楳ay God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you really CAN make a difference in this world; so that you are able, with God鈥檚 grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.鈥�

听

So I鈥檇 like to echo that blessing and give thanks to God for those who are setting out today in the Dirty Dozen to make a difference.听 Keep safe and thank you for your holy foolishness!
