"For everything there is a season,
a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted...
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;..."
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-4)

Genuine humour can change our perspectives...!
[Our church was saddened to learn this week of the death
of one of our most valued members of the Parish, “Someone Else”.
”Someone Else’s” passing creates a vacancy
that will be difficult to fill.
”Some one Else” has been with us for many years
and for every one of those years,
”Some one Else” did far more
than a normal person’s share of the work.
Whenever there was a job to do,
a class to teach, or a meeting to attend,
one name was on everyone’s list, “Let Someone Else do it.”
Whenever leadership was mentioned,
this wonderful person was looked to for inspiration as well as results;
“Someone Else” can work with that group.
It was common knowledge that “Someone Else” was among
the most liberal givers in our church.
Whenever there was a financial need, everyone just assumed
“Someone Else” would make up the difference.
”Someone Else” was a wonderful person;
sometimes appearing superhuman.
Everybody expected too much of “Someone Else”.
Now “Someone Else” is gone!
We wonder what we are going to do.
”Someone Else” left a wonderful example to follow,
but who is going to follow it?
Who is going to do the things “Someone Else” did?
When you are asked to help, remember —
we can’t depend on “Someone Else” anymore.]

Thank you very much indeed!
