Praying in the harvest

Today at St. George we saw off Zoe Fetherstonhaugh. Zoe was a faithful member of our community whose time with us came to an end due to misadventure.
From the turnout at the funereal service she was much loved and will be sorely missed.
I don't remember when I first met Zoe, but it was shorty after I started to attend St. George. She was a woman who spoke in a straightforward manner, listened well, easily invited one into her space and who radiated the assurance of her faith. Zoe, perhaps without realizing she was doing so, helped me in my journey along my faith path. I will miss her but doubt she will ever be far from my thoughts and in that sense the missing will be a blessing.
