Photo was taken last evening at Altamount, Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl)

Hopefully this sunset is a promise of some more spring like weather to come! A beautiful skyline next to St Anne’s Church, with some smoke streaming from a chimney in Altamount, all added to a lovely moment at the close of day yesterday.

‘I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use.’ ~Blessed Mother Teresa

Every country is different but in Ireland we consumed a staggering 12.5 million Easter eggs in the past week. This works out at about 6 per household. No doubt the people that make these eggs must be smiling. Thankfully in recent years the amount of packaging with each egg has been reduced by 25%. Despite all the eggs consumed, the packaging counts for less than 2% or 500 tonnes of all the packaging generated over the Easter weekend. Obviously we are being encouraged to recycle as much as we can with the leftovers from the weekend. The same can be said of the Easter message. It is one important message that should not be binned and instead we are encouraged to recycle it into our lives each day. The promise of Easter is new life, new beginnings and a sense of hope in all we do. God wants to bring us these, not once in a while but every moment of every day. It would be a shame to dump this Easter offer.
