Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Revered Kate Bottley, Vicar of the churches of Blyth, Scrooby and Ranskill:

I had a brilliant weekend.听 I got to go to a wedding, you might think as a vicar this is not an unusual thing, and that鈥檚 true I go to weddings most weekends, but this one I was not just the vicar I was also a guest, two dear friends, finally getting hitched. But there was a little bit of a problem, I as the marrying vicar was in danger of getting the groom鈥檚 name completely wrong. The groom was my friend Trevor, now Trevor is not actually his name, his real name is William, but everyone, for reasons long forgotten call him Trev. I had to really concentrate to call him by the right name during the service, I managed to get through it without a mistake but I did notice that his gorgeous bride, Megan did hold her breath each time it came to me saying his name, it all worked out fine and Megan definitely married William and not 鈥楾rev鈥�.

听

I suspect like me, Chris you鈥檝e had a few names in your time, at school I was known as Ginners, at college I was 鈥楤ob鈥� for reasons too complicated to explain, I could be called a lot worse. My real name, Kate, was after my Grandmother, and it means, now don鈥檛 laugh, 鈥楶ure one鈥�, I鈥檝e Christened lots of听 children in my time with carefully chosen, meaningful names that it would be wonderful for them to live up to, for the Hopes to be hopeful, for grace filled Graces and the Benedicts to be a blessing.

听

The bible talks about human beings not only loved by God but also known by name. The idea that the creator and sustainer of the universe itself knows your name is something I find amazing, comforting and a little bit scary too, but it does take the pressure off trying to make a name for ourselves.

听

Whether you are a royally named Vassos or a 鈥榩retty complexion鈥� Lynne or even a handsome 鈥楰en鈥�, whether you love your name or hate it, names matter, we are loved and known by our name and it鈥檚 how in time we鈥檒l be remembered too.听听 So congratulations to William and Megan, the new Mr and Mrs Ashley and when the time comes for hopefully a christening and it鈥檚 a girl听 I think 鈥楰ate鈥� has a lovely ring to it, don鈥檛 you?
