Holidays

With thought of the Fry’s chocolate five boys … and memories of an eccentric old lady and her enjoyment of unpractical plans and dreams

on Isaiah 43:1,2

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] The trials may heap on us – when will they cease? Their strength can quite suddenly roar and increase. The...

A mischievous little bird called …

A little bird ‘IwanTit’* around my eyes will flit and perch …

The Secret of Contentment

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] Greed attacking gratitude, discontent … Want to ‘get’ more than to give – what’s the greatest thing to own? …

Fun?

Why make light of evil dark? and laugh at fright … but may be really scared – … All bad taste, and plastic waste.

I like what you have written

Posted on Tue, 03 Nov 2015

I like what you have written about the false glitz and warmth at Christmas, the wearying distractions to true delight and happiness, satisfying service, and worship.

The early part also made me think of 'when the time had fully come, God...

Posted on Tue, 27 Oct 2015

This did make me think, Tina, of so many who feel the loss of a daughter or son of whom they never had good memories, a loss double. Memories so sweet must hurt so much, but you wouldn't have not had them, I'm sure.

I did so like the last...

This is very effective. The early part and the contrast.

If it is how you are feeling now, I would say, Seek out that music of heart again! Personally, of course,  I would pray, and read God's love letter (the Bible) to me when feeling...

Not easy to show friendship

Posted on Wed, 14 Oct 2015

Not easy to show friendship when someone is wanting to withdraw to private memories, but to show affection, and will be there when conversation wanted? Rhiannon

Posted on Mon, 12 Oct 2015

You seem to have captured something of that strange feeling of convalesence (salt on the arm!), when the mind (and body) is not working quite normally yet (slight temperature still, perhaps), and trying to come to terms with life again. The sight...
