Friday, 19th February Reading Psalm 3 I lie down and sleep;I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. Psalm 3:5, NIV There can be times where the worries of life weigh us down, and they might prevent us falling asleep or give us a restless night. There is good reason for David to be disturbedContinue reading “Fast Day 3”

Thursday, 18th February Reading John 4: 1-26 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’ John 4:7, NIV Jesus opened a conversation with a woman that the culture of the time generally forbade him from speaking to. From this question not just the woman but theContinue reading “Fast Day 2”

17th February, Ash Wednesday Reading : 1 Tim 6:6-19 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that? 1 Tim 6:8, NIV Are we content with the basics or do we ever crave more? We like to be warm and dry, that’s a given and something we take as a need,Continue reading “Fast Day 1”

We were not snowed under with our appeal for poppy pictures in the service last week, but here are the three we have received, from Josie, Faith and Noah. In the weekly 15 minute family devotions that Dawn emails to lighthouse families were asked to make a picture of a poppy with either art materialContinue reading “Lighthouse Poppies”

It’s the second day of a week off, and rain pounds the roof of the caravan, and wind blasts it against the windows, but I’m warm and dry inside. I took the dog out earlier, and he delighted in running through muddy puddles and jumping in a water filled ditch, I tried to find theContinue reading “No Clear Path”

While away on holiday last week, we visited Barnstaple. Heading away from the pedestrianised shopping street, back to where we had parked the car, we walked along Joy Street. The sign on the end of the road had a rusty screw loose. It also had a bit of a cobweb. The weather was damp andContinue reading “A place of joy?”

The passage I used for the phone line prayer meeting the other morning, Thursday the 2nd July, was from Genesis 28. Jacob uses a stone for a pillow, has his dream of angels ascending and descending, recognises the presence of God, and turns the stone into a marker anointing it with oil, declaring the placeContinue reading “In God’s house?”

Outside our back door there are a couple of chard plants that we bought a year or two ago at a school fayre in Scaynes Hill. Recently in the sunny weather they have been growing taller and taller. They have huge shiny green leaves and a yellow stem. One of the plants has now reachedContinue reading “Bow down for those bowed down”

I’ve just been out with our Labrador, for a walk. It was a time of much needed physical and mental activity for both of us, and the vitamin D through the glorious sunshine is beneficial too. Walks though have become a little strange, every so often it is not him that stops to sniff, butContinue reading “Walking by on the other side”

It’s bed time! Actually long after it, and I’m nearly heading up the stairs but look at that moon, big and bright how can anyone tonight simply turn in when the wonder of the creator is displayed so brilliantly above, so instead of simply allowing the dog out for a brief wander in the garden,Continue reading “The Moon by Night”
