Every day we post a Thought for the day written by someone within the circuit. Some are very light hearted and some are very deep theologically with all bases between covered.
We hope these will encourage, uplift and make you reflect but most of all we hope you enjoy reading these small daily snippets and take some inspiration on your daily journey

Psalm 119 v 33.Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end A Scottish shepherd stood waving his arms on the lush green hillside.
