Tonight was the first night of the new term for the cubs. For those who don't know cubs are 8-11 year old scouts.. And very funny little critters. For most I haven't seen them since camp. Some I bumped into when shopping it's funny to see them being silly then stop as you walk round the corner or trying to figure out if it's Hathi ( my jungle book cub name ).... as one conversation went yesterday... I shouted over your mums right its me :)
Tonight they were learning about tracking... following signs.... making a path for others to follow after them....
each week on a Wednesday I attend the weekly Saints alive communion where we look at the lives of saints and martyrs and the directions the message of their lives that they left us....
sometimes like the cubs the directions we are following seem to get muddled or lost... it's then that we need to step back see where we came from where we are and then look forward to where we need to be walking.... some times as with the track that was set out tonight to stop and take a carful look for the next marker is needed ( the cubs made some very small arrows to follow) trust that the way where following is right.... even when the signs are only small... that they are further apart. or to step back onto the right track again....
Theres much to learn from these little critters....
Over at See-through-faith they came to a similar thinking in todays blog post (here)
