It’s difficult work – you’ll need a companion

In next Sunday’s Lectionary, Jesus sends his followers out to do the work of the Kingdom. He sends them in pairs – they will sometimes meet opposition – it could be a lonely and dispiriting task – the people will need to work in pairs for mutual support. This is a recognition of the practical human needs Jesus’ followers will have.

We are small people
with a big task: God help us
help one another.

A surprise when I zoomed in on this picture of the valley side…
