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)
Recently our preacher was talking about parables in the Bible and how they contain truths about God in an interesting and relatable way. Jesus often used parables to teach us about the Kingdom of God and I was reminded about this one especially as I have a great friend who is wonderful quilter. THE QUILTAs…
Do you ever find you have a hymn or song running through your mind for no apparent reason? In the last week I cannot get out of my mind: Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble and in joy, The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ. It’s not…
I was recently walking through the back lanes of Fowey, in Cornwall, when I came across this house sign. The house was called “Toad’s place” and there was an illustration above it of Ratty and Mole in a rowing boat. Ratty is rowing while Mole sits back gazing up into the air as a dragonfly…
One of my criticisms about the twenty-first century is that we seem to believe that it is honourable to fill every minute of every day with work. I keep hearing people bragging about how hard they work, and I guess that I am guilty of doing the same myself. If I am being honest, I…
The Thought for the Day is from John 7 v 38.Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them The Dead Sea is so salty that it contains no fish or plant life. What accounts for this unusual condition? There are absolutely no outlets! A great volume of…
I’ve just found my diary entry for exactly a year ago. Must have been a bad day… There’s a quote from Psalm 90: 9-10 “All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best…
Reindeer feature in our lives from the earliest years of faith; not our Christian Faith but our faith in the arrival of Father Christmas, or whatever the benevolent giver of Christmas presents is called in your family. The arrival of the mysterious gift giver is partially dependent on the good behaviour of the child, in…
For anyone that doesn’t know, I recently left my job, got married, left home and started a new job all within the space of 8 days. In no way was that what was outlined in the Grand Plan which we had spent over 2 years concocting. I never planned to give myself quite so much…
A while ago I wrote on a thought for the day about the importance of open-air preaching in Wesley’s time. Last Sunday I had the opportunity to join in the open-air service on Orford Quay, organised by Stephen Cayley from Orford Methodist chapel annually. I had never been before but am pleased I made it…
I was recently reading a passage from Romans (chapter 9: 30-32) “What does all this mean? Even though the Gentiles were not trying to follow God’s standards, they were made right with God. And it was by faith that this took place.But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God…
