Chinese Easter
I went to church again today , this time with the wife and our infants , to Chinese church . In fact it was to Saint Lukes the Chinese borrow a church to fit in all the numbers . Again as I sat at the back in a pen for children making sure my two didn't make too much noise I was struck by the beauty of the service , and I don't yet speak a word of Mandardin despite having a Shanghai wife . I watched as a Jamaican lady shook her head in time to the song , like me a non Mandarin speaker , it made me smile considering I was llistening to Shona music from Africa at last evenings Easter Vigil . Music really is God's breath , again I feel humble with all this Faith swirling around me .
Happy Easter to one and all , Faith any Faith is a big thing , a powerful thing , powerful enough to make you cry . Love is a powerful thing as the Vicar said , his words translated into Mandarin , Christs love is in all of us , his love , his power is in every one of us who choose to believe .
The Vicar's words not mine , I just feel sad for those how have no Faith , any faith is better than negative negative indifference .
