THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.On a recent walk-in mid-Wales, I came across a tiny chapel. Sadly, it was no longer in use as a place of worship, like so many of these old chapels. Behind the building was a small cemetery which was clearly being kept in a state of good order, the grass cut, and the hedge trimmed.
It was a sign on the gate to the cemetery that caught my attention: ‘Anyone entering the cemetery does so at their own risk’. It’s not quite Dante’s ‘Abandon hope, all ye who enter here’, but it is a good reminder. We have the short span of this life before we pass through the cemetery gates to seek God and to know the hope he holds before us.
