Under construction

So many places in our lives are under construction. It is a continuing process.

Places are under construction too.

Now it is the convent garden. I think back to May of 2004 when I was on retreat at the old convent and Sister Elizabeth brought us over to have a look at the new buildings going up.

The next Easter I was here and things were not finished. The room name plates were temporary ones. The library was not open - which of course I missed.

It was good to be here for my first ever Easter with the community.
It is good to be here again.

After the construction and mess is all tidied up, there is a time for celebration. This happened at Greenbelt with the new barn, at my house when I finished the basement, at St. John's with major renovations and for the new condo unit next door to the church.
