I realised today that in a weeks time Christmas will be upon us – so of course I really need to send my Christmas greetings to you all now – as somehow – although it won’t be as busy this year – my mind will be elsewhere next week! For me there is no better…
‘Walking New Pathways’
My walking boots came out this week – as I found time at last to get out and explore the new area where we find ourselves living. How fortunate we are to be able to simply walk out of our front door – straight into the countryside. A lovely quiet country road wends its way…
‘Entering A Season Of Hope’
This weekend we’ll be unearthing our boxes of Christmas decorations – having managed to get each room in the house looking like home and already enjoying being lived in, I love candles – and at Christmas time get the opportunity to put so many around the place – they always remind me of the hope…
‘Making A House A Home’
Just a week ago we moved house – what a day it was – and what a week it has been! So much to do – so many boxes – a herculean task of moving things around and finding room for all our belongings. Before we moved we decide to bring everything with us and…
‘The Wait Is Over’
It seems like it’s been forever – waiting for the house move to finalize – but today – that wait is over – today we get the keys to our house – and it almost seems unreal! The months of navigating the stress and frustration – that this process has brought with it – will…
‘Stress/Serenity’
We were hoping to move house this week – but the process has been delayed. This seems to be something very common – but to us – and to me in particular it’s proved to be very stressful. I guess I’m like a lot of people – so impatient when faced with delay – always…
‘Singing The Lords Song’
It’s been a difficult week this past week – I’ve struggled with the situation we’re in – felt frustrated and tired – emotionally as well as physically – I’ve even found it hard at times to ‘sing the Lords song’ – recalling the time when the Jews had been taken captive – were living in…
‘Clocks Back – But Not Our Time’
This weekend marks the end of British summertime – and we turn our clocks back an hour. I always appreciate the fact that by doing so we get an extra hour’s sleep – as well as knowing that for a while it will be light earlier in the mornings – meaning that I won’t have…
‘The Seeds of Eternity’
Living in the countryside has enabled me to observe the seasons very closely – I have loved watching the whole process – from the seeds being sown to the harvest. I remember seeing those first shoots – and watching how quickly they grew – in what seemed no time at all the fields were golden….
‘Feel The Rain’
Most mornings it’s still dark outside as I get ready to go out for my early walk – in fact some days I stand at the window waiting for the darkness to lift just enough to enable me to see my way. When it’s so dark it’s often difficult for me to determine just what…
