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)
Responding to advice from the doctor we took a few days off recently and spent the best part of a week with our daughter in Norwich, she currently has two rabbit’s and a guinea pig. I remember the day we first met Lola the rabbit three or four years ago, she was a tiny bundle…
In the final episode Robson visited a floating village. At the time of filming the water level was quite low so the villagers had redirected part of the river to actually keep the houses floating. When they weren’t floating it caused problems with how the people travelled. The lady who acted as a guide was…
At weekends when my children were small, we would often open a tub of popcorn and hunker down to share a film together. I’d invite them to take a handful of the snack and put it in a bowl on their laps and nibble as they watched. However, there was one evening when the tub…
The walking guide that we followed assiduously said, ‘when you reach here you have crossed Foxtor Mire and are alive to tell the tale’. It was probably irresponsible for two people of broadly sound mind to cross a notoriously dangerous Dartmoor bog when there was no compulsion to do so. But what is compulsion when…
Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Charlotte Haines Lyon www.christianaid.org.uk Something to read First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all…
In a recent media poll asking if King Charles should cut ties with Prince Andrew, I was amazed that, at the time of reading, 81% voted Yes! Several Bible passages came to mind, initially, the story described in various ways as – The prodigal son, the lost son or even the forgiving father. This was…
I’ve recently had a lot of spare time on my hands, and in an effort to stop me getting bored and being tempted to push myself too hard, my sister sent me a jigsaw as a “get well” present. The subject matter of the 1000-piece puzzle was an “80’s” shopping basket – who remembers Cadbury’s…
My first memory of Brooke Methodist Chapel was Saturday 5th February 2005 when I arrived with my family on our visit for my potential new appointment as the minister. I would have three churches, of which Brooke was my small village chapel with a membership of about fifteen and I confess that having landed from…
I have been enjoying watching the programme on television about “The Amazon with Robson Green.” Part of the second episode dealt with where the Amazon was joined by its massive tributary called The Rio Negra. The Joining of the Waters is a short boat trip east from Manaus. The two rivers meet but they do…
Thinking of the D-Day anniversary, reminded me of this story. One Sunday, a man went to a service in an unfamiliar church. He arrived early and parked his car. As he opened the door to get out, another car pulled up next to him and the driver wound down his window,” I always park there.…
