Small steps

Small steps

From the front door to the street outside

From a secluded garden to wide open spaces

From a cuppa alone to a cuppa with friends

We’re getting back to something like normal

Small steps

From Facetiming the family

to kissing them on the cheek

From online shopping

to going round the shops

From working from home

to clocking in at our place of work

We’re getting back to something like normal

Small steps

From listening to the organist

to joining in with our voices

(“One more step along the world I go . . .”)

From carefully counting the numbers

to inviting all friends to the funeral

From meetings on Zoom

to gathering in the church hall

We’re getting back to something like normal

Small steps

From our church, our parish, our minister

to God’s church and people and minister

From working in isolation

to co-operating

with other kirks, other denominations

From worrying about decreasing numbers

to trusting in the Lord

to help us preach the gospel - with actions

Small steps

One after another after another

Side by side

Led by the Lord Jesus who is the Way

and who has promised to be with us always.

We all have to start somewhere.
