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)
Luke 10 v 38-42. As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came…
We have developed a saying in our family over recent months when a car suddenly turns off without indicating “O, I see he/she didn’t opt for the indicator package” I find it quite frustrating when I sit patiently at a roundabout waiting for a car approaching from my right, only to discover that they are…
A few days ago I opened my Office door and for once didn’t immediately close it again, something I have done many times even during lockdown despite having time on my hands. I just haven’t been motivated to even begin to tidy up in there. But then something prompted me to make a start. It…
Bury St Edmunds is a town which I have rarely visited over the years, which does feel odd considering I have lived in Suffolk for so long. Often, I have been told what a lovely place it is, what good shops there are there, and of course how amazing the cathedral is and the Abbey…
What kind of a God is the God portrayed in the Old Testament? In Exodus chapter 34, we read that Moses was told by God to prepare two stone tablets to replace those which Moses shattered following the incident with the Golden Calf. On the mountain top, when Moses presented the Almighty with two new…
There are several references in the Gospels to Jesus and water. Saint Matthew (chapter 8) records an occasion when he was busy and tired and crossed the lake to avoid the crowds, but he was soon found again. In Framlingham we have our famous castle and historic church, idyllic market hill and Saturday market. We…
One thing I have had recently is time to read. Among books I turned to was the whole Narnia Cycle. When I was 12, I saved up pocket money to buy the whole set-in paperback and in a substantial slipcase. They are well read and deservedly so. I was once asked to name the best…
Psalm 100 v 1-2Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. An old Jewish legend says that after God created the world, He called the angels to Himself and asked them what they thought of it. One of them said, “The only thing lacking is the sound of…
Over the last few weeks, I have become a convert to the BBC programme “The repair Shop” a programme I have never really watched before. I am in awe of the skill of the craftsmen and women who can take broken items and restore them, not necessarily to look as good as new, but primarily…
Jesus prays for his friends in the Garden of Gethsemane that they may be one as he is one with the Father. He asks that they may be protected in the uncertain times they face and made holy so they are set apart from the world’s unbelief – by the truth about who Jesus is.…
