The end of a era and the start of a new one.

 Yesterday along with millions of other people I watched the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.  It was a sad somber occasion and it was amazing how many lives she touched. As a firm royalist I have followed the royal family and along with others am in awe of them. (Well most of them!  There is a certain Queens son who I dislike immensely!). For The Queens children to grieve her so publicly and with such dignity took a lot. A strong backbone. I watched as they honoured their mother and internalised their grief which surely must come out at some point. 


The millions of people who joined the wait to pay their respects.  Who lined the streets for the processions and laid flowers at gates and in parks goes to show the publics love for their Queen. If ever there was a show of solidarity this was it. 

It makes me wonder then why our churches stand half empty. Why I lead services in front of half a empty church. Why people don’t turn out en masse for the King!  THE KING.  Why even I spent almost a whole day watching programs dedicated to her life and yet don’t spend equal time with the Lord. The one to whom our Queen spent her life dedicated to, who she made reference to at many many times. Why do we not turn out for The King?  Just a question I asked myself.
