  • Don’t waste time in the waiting…

    Don’t waste time in the waiting…

    This was the encouragement I received from the Lord this morning, but not just me I think, I also believe it may be an encouragement for others too. Don’t waste time in the waiting..this applies not only in our living daily as followers of Jesus but in our church communities. What are we waiting for?…

  • Letting go…

    Letting go…

    I’ve found that is been hard to let go as a parent. I know it needs to be done. It’s the natural rhythm of life – to let them find their own way as adults and do their own thing without (too much) interfering. It’s hard though. To trust that our Father in Heaven is…

    Bill’s story – Lessons from my Father

    As it is Father’s Day here in the UK then I want to re-post this post to honour my Dad, William or Bill as he was usually called, and tell you about him. Dad was born in Edinburgh in 1933 and lived in Leith for his early years. He did various trades from an apprentice…
