Security

What a referendum! I couldn't sleep and put on my radio at 1am to hear that 'remain' votes were coming in fast, then at 2am there was a change in the air and then at 3am there was a decisive change and I had to get up and follow it on the TV.…

Why Pray?

, ,
It is often said that prayer changes things. I would like to amend this statement by saying that I think that God changes things and people as we humans pray! God invites us to pray and He provides the answers. He wants to reveal Himself as…

God’s Answer

, ,
Whether we have small or big problems, God has an answer. I think He sets up situations in our lives so that we have to depend on Him. He wants our closeness of relationship more than anything else it seems and He wants us to draw near to Him…

Letting Go!

Yesterday, I attended the burial service of a dear housegroup leader of my late husband. During this time, a poem was read that encouraged us to let him go. I was in a similar position when in hospital when the doctors said that they couldn't…

Christmas Buildup

The Autumn Statement

We can each trust God for all our needs that come from the past, the now or into the future. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)  That's all we need to know. He doesn't lie and is utterly faithful.  What…

Trust

, ,
How can we trust people? How do we trust God? There is no easy answer but to do it anyway! (Eating is in the doing!) The wonderful thing about God is that he can be trusted as he has a proven track record.  He spoke through men (and women)…

Death isn’t the End

I was so very sorry to hear about the death of Robin Williams.  Any death is sad but somehow this man made so many of us laugh and he gave us so much, so it is a tragedy to see that his own life was curtailed. We can kid ourselves that this…
