Good morning :-)

Did you know that Moses wore a wig? We are told that sometimes he walked with Aaron and sometimes he didn't! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


The Collect (special prayer) for today

Almighty Lord and everlasting God,
we beseech you to direct, sanctify and govern us in the ways of your laws
and the works of your commandments;
that through your most mighty protection,
both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul;
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen

In the gospel reading from Luke, Jesus warns us to be aware that the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.

Good morning :-D <3 Law giver Moses lived a very long time, and no one knows where he's buried.
Enoch walked and talked with God and was spared the pain of death.

Good morning :-)

I heard about those power cuts - not very pleasant for all those involved. Hope the issue is soon sorted.

Yes, lots of old age in the bible......Methuselah especially. :-D

Short and sweet week

Father in Heaven,

Thank you for watching over me as I slept through the night. Your hands of comfort and strength held me as You watched over me. Father, I love You. You love me so much and I am in awe of how amazing You truly are. As I begin my day, I simply pray that you walk with me and lead me where you please. May Your will be done this day. Amen.

Good afternoon all :-D <3

My PC's just back on after a power cut Cynthia. A nearby Metro train came to a

stand still until it was restored. It's all happening. Two or three generations ago

we didn't have electricity. We had coal or gas and candles.

Something I find difficult to comprehend is that it says "The years of a man are

threescore and ten, ten more if he's strong" Not everyone makes it that far.

In the OT there are mentionings of people living for hundreds of years.

Good afternoon :-)

I had a computer on go slow this morning...……….sigh


Short and sweet week.

Dear God, help me every morning to find faith in the midst of all the chaos. Give me the desire and ability to see You, hear You, talk to You, and give thanks to You. As I do, I pray that I will draw nearer and nearer to You, and that my faith will multiply infinitely as I understand in new, deeper ways that You are everything I ever hoped You would be. And so much more. Amen.

Good morning :-)

Thanks David.

Short and sweet week

For this new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends.
For everything Thy goodness sends,
We thank Thee, dearest Lord. Amen.

The hill of Crosses commemorates a lot of man's inhumanity to man.

Good morning :-)


That was an unknown fact to me David. Interesting.

Short and sweet week.

Father, I have to thank You for looking beyond my faults and for loving me unconditionally. Forgive me when I fail to love others in the same way. Give me eyes to see the needs of the difficult people in my life, and show me how to meet those needs in a way that pleases You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Despite having demolished three times by the Russians the 200 year old

Hill of Crosses continues to grown in Lithuania, marking unmarked graves.

There are an estimated 200,000 crosses on the hill.

Good morning everyone :-)


Yes, so much bad news :-( and yet, there is so much good in the world which simply doesn't get reported..... :-(


A short and sweet week.

Father, I thank you for another day
I don’t know what this day might bring
Therefore, I put my trust in You
Fill me with your peace
The peace that surpasses all understanding.
Thank you Lord. Amen.

Good afternoon all

I echo your prayers today for all those affected by the events at Whaley Bridge, in America and at Tate Modern

At this time it is upsetting to hear of all
disasters and killings going on in the world.

One would hope that we learn from the senseless
killing of others but I very much doubt it.

My prayers for those affected by the flooding, mass shooting
and the small child hoping he recovers soon x

A personal opinion. This is the year 2019, not the wild west of a centuary ago.

People don't need guns. The Police and the Military have them.

In El Paso Texas is an example of what happens when anyone is allowed a gun.

One unstable man kills and wounds over 40 people at will. :-0 :-|

Good morning :-)

Continuing prayers for all those affected by the flooding in Whaley Bridge, the mass shootings in the US and the horrific incident at The Tate yesterday.


A short and sweet week.

Dear Lord Jesus, we have this day only once; before it is gone, help us to do all the good we can, so that it is not wasted. Amen.

Good morning :-)

The people of Whaley Bridge are still waiting anxiously to see what will happen to the dam and some more dreadful news of a mass shooting in the US. Lord, we pray for the people who are affected by these and other disasters. Bless those who mourn and support those who comfort them. We thank you for the skill of the emergency services who work tirelessly to help others and for the medical staff who are treating the injured. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

The Collect (special prayer) for today :

Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: graft in our hearts the love of your name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of your great mercy keep us in the same; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The gospel tells the parable of the rich fool.

Good morning :-)

It's a lovely day in my part of the world, but for those poor folk in Whaley Bridge, it doesn't look too good. We hold them in prayer.


Lord, I trust in your unfailing love, in your promises.
I give this day and all that it holds to you.

May I walk in your goodness,
knowing your gentle hand will guide me,
and keep me. Amen.

Good afternoon and best wishes to you all :-D <3

Thoughts and prayers to those in need <3

Good morning :-)

Thank you kandj. So many people struggling at the moment. <3


So many out there are struggling………

Dear Lord,
I can’t see the way ahead and at the moment I feel so confused.
So today I ask that your hand would be upon mine.
Please lead me safely through.
Guide my heart, my mind and body to navigate the way.

I put my trust in you.

Amen.

Cx :-)
