This morning our daughter Christine sent a text to say how thrilled they were that their roof-sourced water tank was completely full – a great boon for their summer peace of mind. However, in the local hot springs camp ground, we discovered that the very same overnight downpour that filled their huge tank resulted in a leak in our caravan. The ’van is a bit like us – it looks tidy enough but is a bit long in the tooth. A severe test like last night’s horizontal rain now and then reveals its inadequacies.
As we count off another year Bev and I are aware that there will be testing times ahead of us, too. But Christmas reminds us that we are “not alone – we live in God’s world.” Our inadequacies are still there; but a bright day is already shining after the storm.
That is the way of the creation of which we are a part.
