Recovery Meditations

Recently at Hallowe'en parties and around town on the streets we saw all kinds of masks.

We’ve just come through another Hallowe’en day.

As we consider and remember service men and women who sought to help their fellows in times of war and trouble, I'm reminded of Psalm 56.

Our hearts are touched as we watch young faces on parade honour some old veterans.

I've been reflecting on "remembering" these days. My heart was touched with what King David wrote when he focused on the fact that God remembered him with loving-kindness because God was good.

Everywhere we go we find doors. When we were growing up we probably heard the voice of our parents numerous times telling us to “close the door” to keep the cold out and the warmth in.

There's nothing more refreshing than a walk in the evening with a garden-fresh breeze blowing.

In many cities across Canada and the United States, today is Election Day.

Mountains surround us here in Vancouver, BC. Look to the north and there are the North Shore Mountains.

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour we became new creations and yesterday we read about the initial process of becoming useful for the Master’s service.

Recycling seems to be the way to achieve new life for things that are used, worn out or just not wanted any more.
