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)
I’ve just returned from a stroll around the village on a sunny afternoon. Part of the route takes me round some fields and across a small footbridge. Until recently it was very wobbly, with rotten boards and a rickety handrail. Suffolk County Council (I think) have replaced the bridge with a sturdy new one. We…
The big news of Wednesday 1st February was the possible sighting of Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) or “The Green Comet as people have called it. The only problem was that it was only visible in the middle of the night so most folk were fast asleep when the phenomenon occurred. Fortunately my son in law…

It appears that researchers in Australia fitted harnesses with tiny trackers to the birds in an attempt to learn more about their flying habits and social dynamics. In order for the birds to remove the…
One New Year’s Eve, several years ago, I was up in Sheffield with my husband visiting his family. We decided to walk to the neighbouring village in order to join in the festivities. The walk back involved my husband and his friend trying to outdo each other with ghost stories. We had to walk back…
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a programme on the BBC “Take a hike” the concept is nothing new, five total strangers, meet up and over the course of a week, they share a common interest, taking it in turn to plan the events of a day at a time. In secret, they…
Have you ever put something away in a safe place only to discover later that it was so safe that you couldn’t actually find it. Recently some items in my house have been “lost.” In December I bought a couple of Christmas cards with “Felixstowe” on them to send to my sister and brother. I…
