The Bell Tower

As I walked into the church compounds, my attention was seized by this sight.

A desire welled up from within...

May I be like this bell tower?

That withstands the wind and rain, the scorching heat of the sun, to stand without falling, without bending, confident in its foundation... to sound the invitation of the Lord to come, receive, be loved and nourished. At its heights, visible from afar for all who are seeking a sign and direction. Visible, not for its own self, but for that which is infinitely greater - the God of all.

May the Lord grant my heart's desire.

Amen.
