Dust Busters FRIENDLY FAMILY RUN BUSINESS ONE OFF CLEANING, WEEKLY, FORTNIGHTLY, MONTHLY END OF TENANCY, MOVING HOUSE CLEANING ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED BY US FULLY INSURED The Drkest Hour is Just Before the Dwn For competitive quottion, cll Pm or Bob on 2 Tel: 01732 874032 / 07831 707301 Emil: pm.dustbusters@gmil.com In 1650 The English theologin nd historin Thoms Fuller ws the first person to commit now well known proverb to print. He wrote tht 'the drkest hour is just before the dwn'. This proverb is often used to inspire hope under dverse circumstnces, nd to remind us tht tht however drk things feel, dy is bout to brek. This month the church celebrtes the yerly fest of Ester. A reminder tht lthough it looked very drk on Good Fridy, Ester morning nd Jesus's triumph over deth ws just round the corner. The drkness gve wy to bright future for the whole world. So mid the bunnies, the mountins of chocolte nd the consequent hyperctive children there is celebrtion. Ester is hppy time, but it is so much more hppy when we hve in some sense trvelled with Jesus through Holy Week, to the desoltion nd loneliness of the cross, nd then onto the joy nd relief of Ester dy. The dwn seems brighter if we hve experienced the drkness first. So it is with much of life. The trils nd disppointments we fce cn sometimes give our times of celebrtion more mening. Ester is just such time for celebrtion. Whtever we hve been through over the pst yer, Ester reminds us tht lthough night comes surely dy will follow. Jesus is risen nd the church believes tht this is the hope for ll of us. With best wishes for holy nd hppy Ester. Fr Mtthew 3

So, why m I telling you this? Well, since I chnged my lifestyle nd becme grdener, I've been serching for quote tht encompssed this U-turn, nd I've found it! 10 "Life is like grden: perfect moments cn be hd; but not preserved, except in your memory". (L.Nimoy) Now, prt from the joy of knowing I'm going under needle, it got me thinking bout the memories my grden evokes. Roses lwys remind me of my prents, s my first memory of grden is wtching my dd pruning his prized stndrd roses. The lwn: of dys plying cricket with my brothers. The pple tree brings bck the shouting of the locl frmer who chsed us out of his orchrd s we were scrumping his juicy Grnny Smiths! Then there's the sunflower which tkes me bck to my wedding dy s Smnth hd them in her bouquet nd I hd one in my buttonhole.
