It just seems time to post this. Thanks, RWB. We must never forget - no, not ever forget.
Scenes are of beautiful Scotland - a country that has known such loss, such great loss - sending so many into exile, to the Promised Land, to America. And yet - and yet - grace abides, the amazing grace that knows no limits but the love of Jesus Christ who redeems all things. All things. How can it be?
The honours of the Kingdom are on exhibition in Edinburgh Castle. They are a sword, a scepter and a crown. It says a lot about the national temperament. My late mother was a Campbell. The Highlands were in her DNA
Thank you for posting this. It has filled my soul. Today as I played it again, I was reminded of my Scottish ancestor who found hope and courage as he watched a spider try and try and try again to attach her web and finally succeed. I asked God to help me keep trying to make those connections he calls me to make as I struggle in this crumbling branch of the Anglican Church. He hasn't yet said, "Give it up!" I bless both those who must stay and those who must leave.
Uh-huh. Oh yeah. Can't have too much of this. Good stuff! :) Thanks, BB!
ReplyDeleteThat was incredibly beautiful. I found it soul-stirring (not that I'm the gr-gr-grandchild of William Wallace McClung or anything.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a hard thing, to leave such a beautiful place......
