You know what faith looks like? It doesn’t look like a beautiful cathedral or a life without care. No, faith stands battered and bruised by the trials of this life and, with tears streaming, proclaims In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Psalm […]

2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Our time in quarantine is ticking on. But is it a *waste* of time? What one anorexia survivor has come to learn about the power of time, and using the time we’ve been given.

I love to receive notes! “Just thinking of you” notes. “How are you doing” notes. Handwritten and stamped, they delight me. Emails and texts are good, but there is something special about finding a surprise card in the mailbox. God sent me a ‘thinking of you’ note in Psalm 40. Twice in this chapter, He […]
Always on His Mind — GraceSpeak
We choose whom or what we follow. Some follow music and video personalities. Their mannerisms, their dress, their hairstyle, their priorities all give evidence of their leadership. Some follow political parties. Blatant on vehicles and t-shirts and social media posts, the chosen party or political ideal is voiced in ballots and checkbooks. A good question […]
People starting to get fed up with lockdown now. Living in Scotland the Scottish government has yet to ease the the lockdown even although the UK parliament has started easing restrictions.
It has been interesting to see on Facebook and other social media sites what people have been doing during lockdown, we’ve also seen it on tv.
Another Thursday has passed and still people were on their doorsteps clapping. There were still People out with all sorts of musical instruments.
It appears that those of us who attend church may not be able to do so until at least July.
How beautiful
I walk by faith,
not by sight
because Jesus
is my light.
His Word my path,
illuminates
so His step
I can duplicate.
His Spirit dwells,
inside of me
so I can trust
what I can’t see.
His guidance,
helps me to find
peace for both
heart and mind.
I walk by faith,
in His light
for I trust Jesus . . .
for my sight!

Philippians 3:12
Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
Most of you won’t know that I’m a bit of a perfectionist, but in no way am I claiming to be perfect in any way (I am human after all).
Here is an example of how bad I can be:
Yesterday whilst trying to change a few things about my blog site it was accidentally taken down. Having a bit of technical knowledge I attempted to get the site back up again myself. Eventually I contacted technical support for help and thanks to them the site is back up and running
Let us not remember whether we class ourselves as Perfectionist’s or not there is only one true perfectionist and that is Christ Jesus himself.
We may be bruised and battered by this life. We may feel that we are barely hanging on. But if we have trusted in the Christ, we shall safely reach home. II Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, […]
