Discovering a “New Normal”
Since the death of our brother & friend, Andrew, over a month ago, our little community has begun to find healing. As Kim said, we are trying to find a “new normal”- one that does not deny the suffering and sadness of the past few weeks, but one that celebrates God’s hand in the midst of it.
One way we have done this is expanding our community gardens (which I have yet to get pictures of, sorry!). Since we are Little Flowers Community, we thought we should be doing some kind of gardening. Growing veggies together is a great way to learn about the Spirit’s work of bringing new life, practicing simplicity and enjoying God’s wonderful Creation. We are also planning some covert guerilla gardening for the neighbourhood (more on that later!).
Your continued prayers for us are truly appreciated. While we are getting there, that “new normal” is still being established. Other challenges of life & faith don’t stop to wait their turn, so things are always fairly intense these days. If you want to help out in any other way, you can feel free to contact me for more details.
Peace & good things!
