Remembrance

I walked down to the village this afternoon to run a couple of errands, and made an impromptu stop in the village churchyard. There is a small garden of remembrance there - a place to reflect and pray and maybe remember loved ones who are no longer with us.

I would normally pray at home - thankful that we can pray anytime and anywhere and not just at church! But today this seemed fitting, as dear friends were saying their final goodbyes to a much loved husband and father and grandfather. So I was thinking and praying for them this afternoon, and wanted to add my prayer of thanks for a wonderful man whom I’m very glad I got to know a little bit.
