From the Warden's Corner...

Waiting is rarely an easy task for most of us especially when we have been on a long journey and wish to know how long it will be until we arrive at our destination. If you are like me, this impatience tends to become stronger when I am close to arriving at my destination. 
 
St Peter’s has been on a long journey since last spring searching for an incumbent Rector and our search committee is now in the midst of interviews to try to discern who will be called as our Rector. Though we are getting close to making a recommendation, we are not yet there!
 
With this in mind, I was comforted this morning by the words of Isaiah:
 “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him.”
 
As we approach our destination, let us be patient and continue to pray.  Although our committee is making good progress, there are still steps ahead until we arrive at our destination and our committee will keep you informed about progress at each milestone step along the way. Maranatha!

Snowdrops

Still silent throng;
Mute sentinels,
In white parasols clad.
Misfits of Winter, waiting,
For the distant hum 
Of some diurnal chant,
That Spring is in the air.

I see you still; 
Most welcome guests.
Huddled for comfort by rock and stone.
Lurking beneath the shadow,
Of a friendly tree.
Bravely you stand your ground,
Despite the wrath of winter winds,
And heartless ice and snow.

You cheer me so,
Oh happy, happy host.
Who shaped you thus?
Who bid you shine
With confidence and hope?
When all seemed lost
And nature's vigour done
You trumpet forth that sweet refrain
That 'new life' has begun.
