THE JOURNEY IN THE CHURCH WINDOW

One Sunday morning I was sitting in church with my family. I was staring up at the big stained glass window over the altar. I thought about the picture and realised that it resembles the story of many peoples lives. At the bottom there is fresh water and grass there are also rocks and stones. Life is full of good things but also includes things to trip us up. In the picture is the risen Jesus and a river that could represent us being baptised. If you follow Jesus and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit , which I think are represented by the doves, you can move upwards.

As you move up the window and grow in your faith, you get closer to GOD. At the top of the window is the crown of God - Heaven.

Why don’t you have a good look at the window whenever you get the chance. Can you see your journey of life in the window ?
