One Of my favourite writers on Faith, (500 years ago he cropped up)...became hit with me back in 1979...resonated because speaks about need for simplicity. If God wants everyone we cannot rely on the basis of ability to understand endless polity,mainly the need for individual response..
That's the core of following Jesus.
Holding a faith close, learn more,discover more, understand more. Share and serve.
Had an uncle named Matthew
He was his fathers only boy
Born just south of Hedon ,near Hull.
He was his fathers pride and joy
Friendship,faith, was just the things that he was raised on.
Love a part of way that we lived and die,
Gold is just a windy East Riding wheatfield. Blue just a Yorkshire summer sky.
All the birdwatching stories that he told us.
All the memories that he gave us.
All the good trips we had.
Yes, nature was just the thing that he was raised on Animal husbandry was Matt's way to earn income.
Well, I guess there were some hard times.
I'm told some years were difficult.
He had a health scare in his early 30’s
But nature, bird watching, just the things that he discovered.
For a while he went to live at Dads house.
He came to work, see nature in nearby land.
He came to ease Kevin's burden,
And he came to be our friend.
