Deacon John Writes:
I know that there are many things in life that cannot be sorted out easily. There are many things that can happen to us, and to our families and friends, that can make our faith and trust in God either disappear from our minds or at best make them very difficult to hold on to. It is well known that some events in life can destroy our faith completely.
Eastertide, the period between Easter and Pentecost, is a good time to remember that the resurrection of Jesus should bring light and joy, hope and happiness, to our hearts and minds. It is also a good time for us to show in our faces something by which people will recognise our faith as our faces become radiant with an Easter smile. We will probably never know just how much good a simple smile can do!
