Day of rest

Well, strange as it may seem, Sunday is my day off.  As I don’t work in a parish church, I get to sit on the other side of the pulpit and relax for once.  My weekdays tend to be busy though, last week I had 3 funerals, a number of family visits, arranging to visit a nursery to help with fundraising, as well as the normal day to day work of clergy.  However I love my work.  True, I get to see a lot of families who have suffered a loss, but I get to share, even if only for a short time, in the memories of happy times spent with wonderful people. I realise too that no matter what problems I may have, I’m still blessed compared to a lot of people.
