A note from Elizabeth………………….
I watched with excitement this week, the rollout of the first vaccine against Covid -19. One of the first people in the world to receive the vaccine was 91-year-old Martin Kenyon. He became an overnight star but his matter of fact approach was an example to us all. He was seen as an epitomy of the determined, courageous people of his generation but it turns out it was a little bit more than that. This is a man of great humility for he declined all efforts to tell the press of his distinguished career or his long standing relationships with some great figures in recent history.
I took a funeral this week of another gentleman – almost the same age as Martin – whose distinguished career in the army was borne with great humility. So much so that a surprise letter of condolence from Her Majesty the Queen was read out at his funeral. Humble, sacrificial service.
These figures seem to carry a profound seasonal message, for they bring hope and remind us that however dark these times are there are those who inspire us by bringing a little light into dark times.
We await the birth of another figure this week – that of Jesus Christ – born in poverty and the most humble of circumstances, but bringing hope and light into the world.
Wishing you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas and the hope of a better year in 2021 for all whom you love and care for. Elizabeth
Christmas 2020
