There was a lot of rain last week across Ireland and a lot of it fell as part of Storm Claudia. This is the weir at Ballincollig Regional Park in full flow

Thought For The Week
‘No river can return to its source’ ~Native American Proverb
Stories of flooding have been shared throughout the week just gone, mainly due to the heavy rain that fell as part of Storm Claudia.
Flood waters have always had a deeper meaning. They are symbolic of those things that are outside our control. They are symbolic of those times in our lives when we are helpless and feeling lost. Even the poetic story of Noah and the flood has negative vibes. The story has often mistakenly been interpreted as God destroying and punishing. The story of Noah’s ark in the flood is actually symbolic of God’s care and protection in a time of crisis and uncertainty.
The rainbow that followed was symbolic of hope, new beginnings and a better future. In the world we live in today it seems that hope filled stories and new beginnings are very scarce indeed. Negativity seems to be the dominant energy.
It is time to reclaim a sense of hope and embrace new beginnings. A stream or a river can never return to its source. It is always moving forward into new spaces and new directions. If it tries to remain still, it just pours out and floods. We pray for God’s guidance and direction, as we embrace new pathways and new beginnings in our lives, both personally and spiritually.
