Evening: Psalm 103; Matthew 5:13-20
In Margery Williams’ story, The Velveteen Rabbit, a boy loves a toy rabbit so much, it becomes shabby and worn. The boy gets scarlet fever, the rabbit has to be thrown away; it is so sad, it sheds a real tear and ends up becoming a real rabbit! Love makes the rabbit real. Perhaps becoming real is becoming able to shed a (salty?) tear for someone you love? Jesus calls his disciples the ‘salt of the earth’, which we all know means they are real people, made real by the great love, and sadness, they experience with Jesus.
