I glanced out of my bedroom window first thing this morning, as I often do. It looks towards Murton Pike and Roman Fell. The cloud was down, the slopes disappearing upwards into the mist. How many times are we reminded of that sight in the Bible? - Like Moses disappearing into the cloud on Mount Sinai and returning with the commandments not only clear in his mind but written on flat stones. Ideas and principles for anyone who will listen and wants the world to be a better place to live in. And, because I’m starting to write this on Ascension Day, I thought about the occasion - after Jesus’ death - when he appeared to his friends and talked with them as they walked up a hill. Then he disappeared into cloud and was gone. They didn’t see him again. Later, I found myself retelling that tale to a few little ones at our monthly Edward Bear Club in St Lawrence’s. (Not as many as usual today - it’s the beginning of New Fair.) A wiggly line on a bit of green paper, cut out, gave an impression of a hill - as we see them from here. A sketch of a figure cut out of white paper, and there was Jesus, waiting for his friends and talking to them on the hillside. Then a cloud cut from white paper (‘a fluffy one’ said one of the youngsters, getting into the story). The cloud drifted across, as they do, and covered the top of the hill. Then it drifted away, and Jesus was no longer there. He’d gone. ‘What do you think he said to them last, before he went?’, I asked. Blank looks. So I asked the question another way. ‘If I get up now and go away out of the door, what will I say?’. ‘Bye, bye’ they said - and one of them gave a little wave. Got it. But Jesus didn’t say goodbye or anything like that. He said ‘I am with you always’. (What he actually said can be translated: ‘till the end of time’ - but that’s a bit hard for little ones to understand!) So we sang a little song including the line ‘Jesus is with me every day’ to help them to remember, get used to the idea. After saying ‘Thank you’ to Jesus, and a happy dancing song, out they went, happy, into the world. Childish? I hope it was sufficiently childlike for them to cotton on. To put it in adult language would not have been helpful - unfair, in fact. But for those of us able to grasp adult ideas, let’s not lose that simple promise - true in hard times as well as easy, in grief as well as joy - he is there: tell him how you feel, let him into your life. And the promise is for every day - ‘even to the end of time’. [In case you’re wondering - by 9.0 am the cloud had lifted, drifted away, and we had a glorious day.] Lynn Miller Church Registers from the Church of England Baptisms 22nd May James David Alan Robinson St Cuthbert, Milburn 4th June Sally-Ann Hedges St Lawrence, Appleby 4th June Clare-Marie Hedges St Lawrence, Appleby 4th June Mark-Peter Smith St Lawrence, Appleby 4th June Loretta Liza Clare Danny Chapman St Lawrence, Appleby 4th June Joe-John Smith St Lawrence, Appleby 5th June Mary-Kate Price St Lawrence, Appleby 5th June Thomas James Smith St Lawrence, Appleby 5th June Mary-Ann Smith St Lawrence, Appleby 5th June Julieann Tomlinson St Lawrence, Appleby 5th June Rachel Welch St Lawrence, Appleby Marriages 21st May Stephen John Allison and Jennie Louise Taylor St Cuthbert, Milburn 28th May Craig Bird and Rebecca Jane Little St Lawrence, Appleby 11th June Thomas Alan Cleasby and Hannah Lucy Margaret Clayton St James, Temple Sowerby Funerals 21st April Arthur James Nicholson Carlisle Crematorium 31st May Olive Mary Richardson (known as Marjorie) (burial of ashes) St Peter, Great Asby 2nd June Derick William Bland St Margaret and St James, Long Marton 10th June Peter Atkinson St Lawrence, Appleby 13th June Mildred Dawes St Lawrence, Appleby HEART OF EDEN TEAM PARISH Ministry Team Area Code in each case: 017683 Team Rector: Revd.
