Over the last few weeks our Hobbies Group at FMC at Trinity has been using the church instead of the hall to meet in. It’s been interesting to see how many people come in when the door is open. I’ve welcomed one German man, a family of five from Austria and on Monday a man from Falmouth. He told me that a church near where he lived was owned by the pub and they used it as a music venue. I was able to tell him about Tuesday Tunes and Kirton Garden Cafe. We then went on to have a long conversation about music.
He wrote his own music and told me about the first time he had actually performed his first composition. Before he left he sang it to me. It was a very emotional song about a young man who drowned at sea, leaving behind his fiancée. This led on to a discussion about the power of the sea and the need to respect it at all times.
I’m a coward when it comes to the sea and I would never swim in it. I like to know what is under my feet. (I’m a very poor swimmer).
I can spend a long time just watching it and marvelling at the beauty of it. As a family we spent one October break staying in a house with a conservatory which overlooked a bay in Portballintrae. The weather was quite stormy and the north Atlantic waves coming in were huge. It was amazing and terrifying at the same time.
How fantastic is God’s creation!
Thank You, Father, for all of your creation and help us to respect and look after it.
