Greetings,

This morning, thanks to a live cross while watching the news, I found myself seeing humpback whales play in the waters of Hervey Bay, their chosen location to stop and relax during their migration.  The joy of their movements was reflected in the faces of the people watching them – creation together delighting in an expression of life!

I penned my first letter to government as part of the ‘Save the Whales’ campaign when I was in Grade 4.  Decades later, we have come a long way in helping whales, but much of creation is still crying out for justice.  Are we willing to open our ears and hear?

As we enter the Season of Creation we are invited to celebrate and reflect on the wonderful gift of God’s precious and beautiful creation in all its forms.  We are also invited to pursue justice and peace, for a collective river of change that aligns with God’s desire and design for the flourishing of all creation.

Blessings – Heather Hon (she/her)
