The Grace of Interruption

It is the end of Easter holiday, thousands of Bahamians and Bahamians residents are returning relaxed and enthused from spending their holiday abroad and in particular the family of Islands. The domestic airport attendants are very busy. The conveyor belts are working overtime with suitcases, ice boxes of fish and conch harvested from the waters of The Bahamas. The long term parking lots revenue has sky rocketed. There are flashes of million dollar smiles from passersby. The hot cross buns have all been eaten, the mini regattas wined down. Some have spent time in reflective moments on endless spaces of white sandy beaches. Others strolled onto shallow banks of the oceans for miles while some enjoyed beach picnics of fun and frolic. For many children the Easter baskets had their favorite treats. Easter weekend was a weekend underpinned by sharing, encouraging and sacrificing where our thoughts, deeds and words were mostly motivated by love. I hope that this refreshing pause helps us to become focused and energizing.

Lost

Have you ever been looking for something you needed, you disrupt your entire house and still can not find the item? (like Luke 15:1-32) Then you pacified yourself with “may be I did not need it after all” then when you are looking for something else as my daughter would exclaim”there it is!” This is how I felt today when I came across two articles I have been searching for. Today whatever it is you are looking for just relax and move on to something else, because surely it would find you.

Only a short distance

I retraced my steps

Fallen Behind

Stripped

Limbs entwined

Sigh; rise above yourself

Quelled my displeasure

It will be

Found on the table in time
