As I’ve sat and reflected in the mornings during this extremely important week in the life – death – and resurrection of Jesus – I’ve been once again struck by the realisation that He Knew – He knew – all that was to happen to Him – yet – went through with it! In life…

Being closed in this morning due to the driving rain – it’s hard to believe that yesterday was like a summer’s day! How wonderful it was to be outside – to potter in the garden – enjoy a drink sitting in the warmth of the sunshine. Somehow – I don’t think I’ll be doing that…

At this time of the year I find myself itching to get out into the garden – to tidy up after the winter – to plan for the coming months – maybe ‘redesign ‘ a little! I love a garden – love designing – planting – ‘pottering’ When we viewed the house we have now…

    What struck me this morning was the sheer radiance of the sun – not only in it’s brightness – but also in it’s warmth. I felt much like I expect a cat feels when it stretches out and purrs in the warmth of the sun! I felt myself stretch and relax – sigh with delight as I…

Sitting in the quiet of the morning I realised that even in the quietness there are things that can distract me. My mind can wander – or be so full of things that are happening in my life and the lives of others.   I find myself ‘caught up’ in ‘life’ – call out to…

The skies are blanketed by clouds this morning – I feel almost a sense of claustrophobia – of being closed in – closed off – I miss the blue sky! Even a sky full of rain clouds often allows me glimmers of the blue sky as they scurry across – but today – the sky…
