WUC Peace Message
Peace
with each other: Something to think about!
A fellow statesman once asked Nelson Mandela how he managed not to be
angry after spending decades in captivity.
He confessed that walking from his cell he had almost been consumed by
anger, but he knew that if he took the anger with him beyond the gates of
his prison, those who had treated him badly would still have a hold on
him.
“I wanted to be free, so I let it go. It was an astonishing moment in my
life. It changed me.”
Each New Year we anticipate the future, but ask yourself as the old year
slips away, is there anything – a grudge, a row, a misunderstanding,
that you can let go? Then step into the year ahead as Mr. Mandela stepped
out into the sunshine. FREE.

Kid’s hope: Bright and Cheerful-Story
received from a KIDS HOPE Mentor
“Sarah had been mentoring Bianca for 2 years, and they have a very happy
and close relationship. During a mentoring session Bianca asked whether
they might be able to make something special for her big sister who was
turning 20. She explained to Sarah that she wanted the present to be
really special because her sister has had a very difficult life and hadn’t
been as lucky as her to have had a mentor that is always there for her!’
Sarah was very happy to oblige, and together they made a bright, cheerful
bag in Bianca’s sisters favourite colours”

Peace with earth -
in
God’s presence |
|
God is the liminal presence in all things. The divine presence
announces itself in a breeze rustling
through leaves, in the sound of a bird's call, in the
face of a starving child (or a happy one), in a clear-cut forest. God is
in all things because all things are in God—in all shapes and
shades, all conditions and crises, all joys and sorrows. God is in
birth and death and everything in between. God is ubiquitous: God is
wherever I am, wherever each and
every iota of creation is. |

WUC Peace Message
Peace
with each other: Something to think about!
A fellow statesman once asked Nelson Mandela how he managed not to be
angry after spending decades in captivity.
He confessed that walking from his cell he had almost been consumed by
anger, but he knew that if he took the anger with him beyond the gates of
his prison, those who had treated him badly would still have a hold on
him.
“I wanted to be free, so I let it go. It was an astonishing moment in my
life. It changed me.”
Each New Year we anticipate the future, but ask yourself as the old year
slips away, is there anything – a grudge, a row, a misunderstanding,
that you can let go? Then step into the year ahead as Mr. Mandela stepped
out into the sunshine. FREE.

Peace with earth -
in
God’s presence |
|
God is the liminal presence in all things. The divine presence
announces itself in a breeze rustling
through leaves, in the sound of a bird's call, in the
face of a starving child (or a happy one), in a clear-cut forest. God is
in all things because all things are in God—in all shapes and
shades, all conditions and crises, all joys and sorrows. God is in
birth and death and everything in between. God is ubiquitous: God is
wherever I am, wherever each and
every iota of creation is. |
