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

My mum went from being a family of four to living on her own in just two years following the wedding of my brother, the death of my father, and Karen and I marrying. She loved baking and enjoyed laying on a feast for her family, I can remember my brother and his wife and…
