It’s my son’s second birthday soon and his Grandad is building him a sandpit. I popped in to Tesco’s (other supermarkets are available) to buy some play sand. Min’s Dad doesn’t do things by halves and so I had to purchase quite a bit of sand. Upon leaving, zig-zagging hazardously through the car park, a shop assistant took a look at my trolley and remarked, ‘I bet you’ll be sweeping that up for weeks!’
Of course she was being light hearted and making conversation but it made me think, ‘Well, yes, you could well be right but who cares! Adam will love it.’
How do we see life, full of obstacles or opportunities? Yes things might get a bit messy, but some things can always be swept up. It strikes me that Jesus saw life as full of opportunities. A conversation to be had, a story to tell, a life to impact, a hand stretched out to heal, to welcome, to include. Some would call him a troublemaker, others a Messiah.
Messy… but full of life and colour.
