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
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Genesis 28:15)
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. What is your idea of peace? When I was looking for images to accompany this “thought for the day”, the majority of images were either water or mountainsides. The…
Looking back to my early childhood, I can remember going to bed on Christmas Eve and when we woke on Christmas morning, the front room of our house was decorated with a small Christmas Tree, a few baubles, some fairy lights and a couple of lengths of tinsel. We also had a paper streamer that…
Since September, those who attend ‘Well in the Week’ on Thursday mornings at Seaton Road Methodist Church, Felixstowe, have been considering ‘Essentials for Wellness’. We probably all know the essentials for life – food, water, shelter, love, and we could, in these modern times, add a healthy diet, exercise, and mindfulness to the list. But…
Normally, parking a car next to a wall should not be risky once the parking manoeuvre itself is complete. That was not the case recently in Framlingham when part of the churchyard wall collapsed of its own accord and damaged a parked vehicle. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Walking past the scene a few days…
You’ll realise by now I’ve become interested in older hymns recently. The messages of hope and comfort, challenge and quiet revolution they include can be inspirational. Methodist tradition has it that our hymn books should also be our prayer books. I can go along with that. One of my favourite prayer/hymns is “For the Healing…
Luke 2:20. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. In a delightful sermon titled, “When the Angels Were Gone,” G.L.Chappell emphasizes that when the angels announced the good news to the shepherds the men took action. They went to…
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Joy is a feeling of happiness, but it is more than just feeling cheerful. It has a very visible exuberance about it, an external expression that everyone can see…
This almost insignificant roundabout on the A15 approximately twelve miles north of Lincoln will be navigated by thousands of people every day and until today, I confess, I didn’t even know that it was called Caenby Corner. This roundabout will have a special place in my memory until my dying day. One Saturday in August…
I am afraid I cannot help overhearing conversations sometimes. Recently, two people were discussing an event that they described as awful. Later, I heard the same word used in connection with something else. The same word could only be used in both contexts if the scale was defined. Without definition, either one situation was played…
Romans 12:3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you A man who had just been elected to Parliament brought his…
