Tomorrow is the beginning of September, the beginning of Spring, and here at KPC, the beginning of a new holy habit to practice. It is the habit of gladness and generosity. In lockdown we can struggle with these things, but amidst the struggle, they remain vital. Choosing to find the things in our day that bring gladness, even amidst the awful, the painful and the frustrating. Choosing to be generous when we are tempted to lock down our compassion as well as our physical selves. Choosing gladness and generosity because they reveal the character of God and something of what God’s kingdom looks like. That is our holy habit challenge to add to our kete of holy habits. What does gladness and generosity look like to you? Today my Mum delivered a beautifully knitted blanket, safely distanced, for Reuben’s 13th birthday. As he opened this treasure I saw generosity and gladness literally knitted together.
