Be Still — GraceSpeak

I am your strength and shield, your help in time of need. I am your Bread of Life; My Spirit intercedes As you wrestle with the forces that threaten you, And struggle just to make it through each day. I am here, call and I will answer The cry of your soul to My heart. […]

Covid-19 UK Lockdown week 2

We at the end of another week of lockdown here in the UK and still things feel really strange.

The video calls are still increasing on social media, and although Covid-19 is a serious concern at the moment, people are posting funny videos on social media.

Another thing that has become a regular thing over the last two weeks, is that that on a certain night at 8pm people go to their front door to thank the people of the National Health Service, and the people who are delivering food etc to those who can’t get out for their messages etc.

As we enter into the third week of lockdown and you are reading this in the UK please observe the government guidelines and stay safe, stay well!

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God. Screams shattered the quiet as the toddler fought against the night terror that gripped him. His sobs reached his mother’s ears and brought her quickly to his bedside. Picking him up, her hand rubbed his back as she cooed whispers of love and safety. Gradually […]

A Good Word — GraceSpeak

I Peter 1:1-6 Peter wrote a message of hope and security to the Christians who were scattered throughout the known world. Read it for yourself, because it is written to us as well. Here is my take on the first six verses: You have been persecuted and scattered throughout the world. You are strangers here. […]

Covid-19 UK Lockdown week 1

It’s been about ten days since we in the UK went into lockdown.

By Monday I was getting pretty bored and found myself playing candy crush on Facebook.

On the plus side I have been able to do some video calls on Facebook, so much so I was on video chat for two and a half hours

You may or may not believe it but it also gave me the chance to file and tidy up my paper work.

I have to say I was still able to get my daily blogs out and go about my usual duties during the week.

I live in a street in a housing scheme where there is usually children running around, it seems strange not seeing them around, hardly anyone in the street,

It feels really weird! One good thing is that it Covid-19 has got people talking to people they wouldn’t normally talk to.

Dry land

Towards the end of yesterday’s blog you may recall I asked you to pray for the people of Greece as they deal with what’s happened at the southern end of their country.

If you don’t already know some of you outside the UK reading this will know we have had  the biggest heatwave since 1976 with temperatures reaching up to 36 degrees in the south of the country. Resevoires are low as are rivers, farmers crops are suffering as well. Yesterday I heard on the news that hospital departments that would normally be quiet at this time of year are experiencing the same volume of people now as they would in winter.

It is ironic however that we British people are never satisfied because we seem to complain when theirs no rain or not enough sun.

The well is deep, and I require
A draft of the Water of Life
And none can quench my souls desire
For a draft of the Water of Life

Till one draws near
Who the cry will hear
Helper of man
In their time of need

And I believing, find indeed
That Christ is the Water of Life
