Variety is the spice of life

Variety is the spice of life. Or at least that is something that applies today.The day began with the Eucharist @ 7.30am before proceeding with what seemed at times undue haste towards Parish Prayers @ the Bishop of Llandaff High School. After some brief recovery time it was time to lead a funeral taking along Andrew Thomas an ordinand on placement from St Michael's College. In contrast with the sorrow and often suppressed grief that manifests itself on these occasions this funeral was reasonable joyful. The lady who had died was 93 and until she had developed dementia had enjoy a full life. So it was good to celebrate her life and also for her Grandson to speak about her life.
Following that it was on to sick communions which I had the privilage to share in one household with relatives that were visiting as well. Glad after that to take some time out for a walk and some thinking time. Finally then to Evening Prayer which was said as it was the school holidays. So a satisfying and varied day if only they were all so pleasant!
