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)
The Thought for the Day is from Hebrews 11 v 6. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him An atheist said to a Quaker, “Have you ever seen God? Have you ever felt…
This morning I felt the need for exercise and needed to go to our local Post Office. It was one of those beautiful sunny Suffolk days with blue sky and big white fluffy clouds. As I walked by the fields the various crops were looking almost ready for harvesting. In some of the fields the…
Hopefully as you sit with your cuppa taking time to read this, I will be in sunny Cornwall, not far from the coast three hundred and seventy miles away in Cornwall. Hopefully, I will be sitting out in the sun, but knowing my luck with holidays, it will be pouring with rain! I love holiday,…
One of the hymns which has been going through my mind recently has been Rock of Ages, cleft for me (StF 434) written by Augustus Toplady. I was surprised to find it is still in our recent hymn book and was quite prepared for it to have been left out. One saying is that Augustus…
I’m writing this on holiday in Brittany. There’s a perfumery called Beauty Success on a side street. How the French love some franglais! The shop sells a wide range of lovely face creams, perfumes and other toiletries. I enjoy wearing a little makeup and a good moisturiser, but I’m under no illusions. I’m never going…
By the time you read this we should be away on holiday, somewhere off the coast of Norway enjoying a trip we had planned, booked and paid for before Covid derailed everyone’s best intentions. I will believe it when we get there, such is the effect of the last two years of changed plans and…
We recently spent a few days in London. Although we used the trains and underground to get from place to place, we walked miles. It’s easy to tot up the steps walking through the tunnels to exits and from train line to train line! Since the weather was so good, we choose to walk to…
The Thought for the Day is from Romans 5 v 8. From the cradle to the grave, we all need love. How vividly this is illustrated in the song “Jesus Loves Me” by Anna B. Warner (1824-1915). She and her sister Susan were gifted novelists. Anna also published many poems. The familiar lines of “Jesus…
Our last Messy Church before we go on our summer holidays was on the theme of perseverance, and by popular request we held a Messy Sports on our Village Sports field. I had been into the Primary School the day before to hold a school assembly and we explored the theme of perseverance using the…
I was walking out of a supermarket a few years ago with my two young daughters, both under ten at the time, I would guess, when a woman thrust a collecting tin in front of me and shook it in an intimidating way, she uttered some words about a local children’s charity, which I didn’t…
