Can you remember I wrote about deacon stoles in the church of Norway some months ago? You find the post here. For many months, ever since before the summer, I have been planning today´s special servive, when all the deacons in the diocese would have their stole put on their shoulders by one of our two bishops.
The special service is today. As a matter of fact it is just now when I write these words. My green stole, made by my best friend Solveig, is finished, I should have been in the cathedral, but here I am, recovering from a nasty stomach bug.......
Well, you never plan your stomach bugs do you? And when they come there is nothing you can do........or actually, there is something I can do. I am reading the embroidery on the back side of my stole, invisible to anybody else, seen by me and my Creator. Words from Paul´s letter:
and now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
