Benediction
inspired by Luke 19:1-10
God is the rock to which you cling,
your hiding place.
This doesn’t mean that now you should go
where no one can find you.
Instead, this week, I invite you:
come down out of your own sycamore tree.
Jesus is coming to your home,
to where you work
or learn
or play.
Don’t be afraid. It’ll be all right.
Today salvation has come to this house,
because you too are a son or daughter
of Abraham and Sarah.

This week’s post was inspired by an article in The Guardian featuring photographs of women posing in trees, a recurring theme in amateur photographs taken between the 1920s and 1950s.
