Two Words
Dear friends,
These are very dark days. You have heard it said, “stay at home”. But I say to you…get outside. Yes, you have to walk by yourself, or just in your household. But fresh (or freezing) air, exercise, and even the tiniest glimpse of sunlight can do wonders for your wellbeing. This week, on the lanes, I have seen a great stag, worthy of the Highlands, a huge owl, and frosted cobwebs straight from Narnia. Robin is cheeky and daring in the hedges as you pass, and gangs of chaffinches stake their claim to their patch by accompanying you through it. So wrap up, find your boots, and get outside. Off the beaten track, or on it, there is a blessing for you.

God of all Comfort
The book of the Psalms provides a rich resource in bad times as well as good; a treasure chest of Israel’s praise for all seasons of the heart. Psalm 50v15 says “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” God is not just interested in our praises when the sun is shining and all is well with the world; He desires a deeper relationship with us, which can hear and hold the lament of a broken heart, or a shattered life.
Peace be with you all
Revd Kevin
