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)
This thought was first published in August 2021 I found this piece from Geoffrey Rust pinned to our Church notice board today – I had used it once a while ago in a service at Knodishall and someone thought it was worth sharing. Having read it again I believe it is definitely worth sharing. It certainly…
A recent contribution about a lost purse reminded me of a BBC Radio programme from many years ago called, “Have a Go.” This was a hugely popular “people show” in which Wilfred Pickles (and his wife, Mabel) travelled around the country, turning up in village halls and asking ordinary folk up on stage to talk about…
One morning a week or so ago I woke with a headache that despite paracetamol got worse as the morning progressed. It was a blustery day, with rain clouds scudding across the sky. Nevertheless, I decided what I needed to do was to go out for a walk and see if the wind could blow…
All I seem to hear at the moment is how the entire nation is delighted to see Strictly back on our screens, personally, I have never been a dancer and never enjoyed events like the Chapel watchnight socials, particularly when one of the older ladies from the Church would drag me up and force me…
My husband and I watched the first part of a programme about badgers. (Badgers: Their Secret World, C5 at 7pm Wed and Thur).

It was a bright sunny morning late in August as I made my way to Aldi to do my weekly shop. I was counting my blessings as the sun warmed my shoulders and I looked forward to the long Bank Holiday weekend that stretched ahead of me. Nothing could spoil my happiness, or so I…

Restoration is defined as the act or process of returning something to its earlier good condition or position, or to its owner. The picture depicts the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, currently undergoing…
This thought was first published on 4th August 2021 Romans 5:4“Perseverance, character, and character, hope.” Today I finished the ironing! It had started as a small pile, just a few clothes. “Not worth getting the ironing board out for”, I thought. A few more were added, but I never felt like doing it. “It will…
This post was first published in September 2021 If you are fortunate to have a garden, however large or small, during these times of pandemic, you have probably spent more time in it than usual. You may have noticed the creatures that share your garden with you, who either have made it their home, or…
I recently had to go to Llandudno in north Wales. It wasn’t a holiday, but to visit an elderly aunt who is in hospital. Having sat with her for several hours, on the hottest day of the year, I decided to try and get some fresh air, so went for a walk along the west…
