Pink & Blue

Most gardeners know that the hydrangea‘s flowers are pink or blue depending on the soil’s acidity. One may also add chemicals to change the colour depending on one’s preference. This may account for two bushes of differing floral colours growing in the same bed up at Muncaster in Cumberland. The blue and the pink are not themselves remarkable, but their sharing a bed most certainly is.

Church congregations are made up of all kinds of folk from very different backgrounds, or at least they should be. Jesus Christ and His dazzlingly fantastic gospel unite us more than our skin tones, levels of education, bank balances or political affiliations divide us. I have more in common with a distant Chinese who loves the Lord than my own kith and kin who know Him not.
