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)
One of my favourite things to do first thing in the morning is to lay in bed with a cup of tea and read a good book. It just so happened that on Friday 9th September, (the day after the death of Queen Elizabeth II), the mug that my butler / husband got out of…
I spent several remarkable weeks binging on the excellent Netflix Drama “The Crown” earlier this year. I would hardly claim to be a Royalist, but I have always respected our monarchy and admired our Queen. Perhaps my motivation at the time was the platinum jubilee, when, not for the first time in my life, I…
I’m sure we all have our thoughts and reactions towards the sad news of the death of our Queen. It’s the sort of day we’ll remember where we were for years after other details have faded. Sam and I hadn’t long got home, and we had the rolling news on as we started to discuss…
As I prepared to return to school, I was surprised to find my daily Bible reading focussed on the visitof the three strangers to Abraham. Then the verse on my calendar was “And all thy children shall betaught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children”. Now, I appreciate that thecompilers…
It seems a long while since we went first to the seaside with our small children. The excited preparations that were made, and the pre-emptive discussions about how we might ‘rush into the waves’ are distant memories. Being fortunate enough to live within easy reach of Southwold, we discovered that to rent a beach hut…
‘More than one new Bible or New Testament launched every week’ that is the amazing claim in the recently published report (2021-22) of Wycliffe Bible Translators (wycliffe.org.uk). Behind the news is the unflinching commitment of hundreds of translators and back-up workers with the financial and prayer support of thousands around the world. They all want…
For too many years in our marriage, I thought of gardening as a necessary evil to be undertaken as quickly as possible so we could go out and enjoy ourselves. Because of my limited knowledge, I was safe to look after the grass area especially as I once proudly announced I had removed a bramble…
My husband and I travelled over to Sutton Hoo a few Wednesdays ago to watch the Red Rose Company perform Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the “Theatre in the Forest”. I was rather like a Circuit outing with a member from Felixstowe, Framlingham, and myself in the audience. (You know who you are!) It was a fantastic…
Without any shame whatsoever I am taking the opportunity to advertise a brilliant book, North to Alaska by Trevor Lund. Over the years I have loved reading about people who have set out to do the impossible. Just over twenty years ago, Trevor set out from Ushuaia at the southernmost tip of Argentina with all…
The Thought for the Day is from Micah 5 v 4.He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth. Can meekness and majesty…
