318/365:2010 We Will Remember

Remembrance Sunday, and the poppy was used as my illustration for the Childrens' Talk at Church this morning - black centre reminds us of our sin; red poppy reminds us of the blood that Jesus shed on the cross for our forgiveness; green leaf reminds us of the new life that is ours through Jesus' death for our sins.

A quick walk up to Stormont and back during lunch. Spotted this clump of Poppy Day remembrance crosses in the grass in front of Parliament Buildings. The red poppies have faded, but the memories represented no doubt have continued through many winters and into spring.
