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)
One of the Bible stories that I find fascinating is in Exodus and starting in chapter 3. Moses was “tending” a flock of sheep owned by his father-in-law when he was confronted by an angel of the Lord, appearing to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Yet the narrative continues with Moses…
I have recently been looking through family photos as I was putting together a slide show of photos for my aunt’s funeral, and I came across this photo of her great great niece cuddling her newborn baby brother. (For those who might have read any of my previous TFTDs, I refer to 16-10-23– the photo…

The latter part of the prophesy of Isaiah is directed to a nation returned from exile to their own country but still sometimes inclined to indifference.

God had many things to say to Moses as he led the people of Israel out of Egypt on their way to the Promised Land. But the messages were not just personal messages for Moses alone, he was told to pass them on to the people. One of these many messages is still used today,…
When my brother-in-law first visited Suffolk, he thought he had gone to another planet. He is originally from north London, and felt very uneasy without traffic noise, people shouting outside, and particularly the absence of street lighting. I actually quite like not having street lights. When we first moved to our house we had a…
One of the great advantages of living where we do is that we get the full benefit of some amazing sun rises, particularly during the autumn and winter seasons. I am inspired often to take pictures like the one above as the sun starts to break through the clouds and paint some amazing pictures in…
