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)
There once was a man named Mr. Musha, who was well-respected in his community. Tragically, a devastating fire consumed his business and rendered him destitute, struggling to make ends meet. Over five long years, he experienced rejection from both friends and family. Amidst this hardship, Mr. Musha’s circumstances seemed bleak. Remarkably, the insurance company, after…
Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Matt Moore www.ellel.uk You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5, NIV In the scripture for today we see the truth that every believer…
‘Playing fast and loose’ apparently is an allusion to an old cheating game once practised at fairs. A belt or strap was doubled and rolled up with the loop in the centre and placed on the edge of a table. The player then had to catch the loop with a skewer while the belt was…
I find it almost unbelievable that our grandson, not yet two years old, loves home made bread and butter. In my experience, most children turn their noses up at anything but white bread – I certainly did when I was at school. In the first of the temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness, he had…

For some time, I have been fascinated by how water can have a powerful effect. I am not thinking of incidents, such as a tsunami, or the raging torrents following storms, resulting in overflowing rivers, etc. What comes to mind is when you finish almost all the contents of a jam jar, fill it with…
We have recently had “issues” with our domestic plumbing, and I’m hoping that by the time this TFTD is published the “issues” will be resolved! The story starts many years ago, possibly even before we moved into the house 27 years ago. We had to call on the “Drain Doctor” around 7 years ago and…
Many people, not least schoolchildren, rejoice at the sight of a mid-winter snowfall but not so my wife – and that applied even when she was a school child! Indeed, on one of her first schools days as a 5-year old she tells me that she had to crawl up the school drive on hands…

Being paid to travel around the beautiful lanes of Norfolk is an absoute delight during the warmer months, but at this time of year road are prone to flooding and potholes lurk…
Traditionally Shrove Tuesday (Mardi gras) is the day that Christians eat up all the rich foods (including pancakes) before the forty day season of Lent starts on Ash Wednesday. This year is special as the celebrations of Lent, Ramadan and the Lunar New Year all coincide – a rare occurrence that won’t happen again until…
