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)
After the cold and icy conditions in December, which were followed by days and days of rain, a large pothole appeared at the bottom of the hill near where I live. It was not immediately obvious, especially when it was overflowing with rainwater. My husband hit it as we returned home one afternoon. Fortunately no…
Many years ago when I was leading a youth group, I saw a non-competitive game being advertised, it wasn’t cheap, but I thought that it had a good moral message, so I invested my heard earned cash and bought one, I read the rules and one Sunday evening we played the game. I confess, that…
Where I live, I look straight out to the North Sea and often watch the large ships coming into the port. There are also many smaller craft enjoying the sailing and being blown along by the wind. I would assume that the size of the anchors is very different in the different vessels but they…
Today, traditionally referred to as Twelfth Night, is the day many will take down their Christmas decorations for another year. I don’t know about you, but I always anticipate having a load of time between Christmas and New Year to catch up with friends and family etc and then it seems that in a blink…
All around us, people are at work following their break for Christmas and New Year.

On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his Mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chest, they offered…

We stand today on the threshold of yet another new year, but is 2023 just another new year? I have never had much interest in New Year’s resolutions, because if I have ever even attempted to make them, they have normally only been a success for about twenty four hours. My wife made a new…
John 1 v 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. How many lights did you have shining over the Christmas period? I looked round my house and was quite surprised at all the different lights: lights on the tree, lamps, t-lights, candles, solar lights in the garden, battery…
