I GUESS MANY of us love wildlife documentaries. David Attenborough’s “Frozen Planet II”, Chris Packham’s “Dogs in the Wild”, and of course “Winterwatch”.

We love seeing the wonderful variety of wildlife… but the patience of the naturalists and camera crews, watching and waiting, is also remarkable.

On 2nd February, the Church celebrated “Candlemas”- Jesus being presented in the Temple at 8 days old, and being recognised as the Messiah not just for the Jews, but for everybody. This story also features two elderly prophets, Simeon and Anna who, like the wildlife camera crews, watch and wait. Jesus, Mary and Joseph would not have stood out in the crowd, but because Simeon and Anna had watched, waited, prayed and listened, they recognised who Jesus was.

Perhaps we can learn from Simeon and Anna. Perhaps, as we watch and wait, through tough times, we will notice people who show us God’s love, and that (to quote a song from Les Misérables) “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.”

Perhaps also we will notice what wrongs we can help to put right, and people whose lives we can brighten with our love. May we watch and wait like Simeon and Anna- and bring light to the world.
