Photo was taken over a campfire up in the Galtee mountains, Co.Tipperary (Irl)

While it’s not exactly barbeque time yet, it’s certainly not too far away. Our photo today was taken during a recent school trip up the Galtee mountains. There is nothing like the taste of your own food barbequed over a campfire. Notice how these sausages are held with nature’s own fork!

‘Now is the acceptable time’ ~2 Cor 6:2

How often we hear about keeping our feet in the here and now. There are so many options and possibilities out there today that it’s easy to think a lot about the future and what we could be doing. It is much more difficult concentrating on what is just before us. A quick glance at any section of our scripture readings will point to God being present in the here and now. Our lives do not exist in yesterday or in tomorrow. Now is the only time God gives us for doing anything. Now may not always be the right moment, it may not always be the easiest but it’s all we can work with. Easter is all about maximising the potential of the here and now. We ask God’s help this Easter in making the most of everything that has been given to us, especially all that has been given to us today.
