The Moon

I’ve just been looking at the moon through our telescope. I love it, so bashed about, full of damage, in many ways dull and lifeless and yet so beautiful and radiant. Like us the moon has no light of its own it simply reflects the light that comes its way. We may be battered, damaged

Focus

Lord, forgive me my lack of focus. Forgive me for the times when I forget about you and your call on my life. Help me to place you at the very centre of all that I do, to acknowledge you in all things and to give you the thanks and praise that you deserve. May

Focus and Control

Dear Lord, help my focus to be on you toady. I commit my whole day, in every part, to you. Please direct my path and guide my plans. Help my thoughts to be measured and my words and actions to always be under control.  Amen
