Better days
I love seeing all the snowdrops and daffodils in bloom. It’s a sign of a change of season and they represent the end of winter and the promise of spring.
Traditionally associated with Easter and rebirth, they act as a reminder that brighter days are ahead. They are a gentle reminder that even in the toughest conditions, hope can thrive and endure.
Today at church we had the Watoto children’s choir from Uganda taking the service. They were amazing – singing and dancing across the whole stage. I don’t know where they get their energy from.
What was totally inspiring was their stories and the fact that they are all orphans and were either abandoned or tragically lost their parents. The organisation have been rescuing children for 40 years, giving the children hope for better days.
Their joy and resilience were truly humbling, a testament to the power of love, faith, and community. Despite their hardships, they radiated hope, showing that even in the darkest moments, light can break through.
Seeing them perform was not just entertaining but deeply moving. It was a reminder that, no matter where we come from or what we face, there is always the possibility of renewal and transformation. Just like the snowdrops and daffodils represent the arrival of spring and brighter days ahead, these children embody the promise of new beginnings and the incredible strength of the human spirit.
We may not be looking forward to what lies ahead and be fed up with winter, but remember, spring is coming, and better days are not too far away.
