#BIGRead14
Ah, today’s poem, read by my lovely Australian friend who’s been in the UK for much longer than anticipated!
We live in a busy, noisy world.. (and I am really quite tired) so this is a good reminder:
Return me to silence again.
Let me hear my footsteps, my
heartbeat, my breathing.
Let me hear your Spirit
as it broods over all.
I have been enjoying taking the time to listen (not always good at stopping and listening, but non of these poems are too long)…
#Do1NiceThing: Say hello to people // Well, I’m the crazy person who smiles at strangers so…

God did not say ‘My call is heavy and difficult’ but ‘My yoke is easy and my burden is light’. (Matthew 11:30)
Put aside what other people say you ought to do, and put aside your own mental commentary about what you think God will make you do. Instead, do what Moses did. Follow whatever you find intriguing, intellectually or artistically stimulating; go where your curiosity and your natural gifts lead you; and when you do, keep an ear open, because sooner or later you will hear the voice of God whispering your name.
Eric Liddell had planned to go (back) to China to become a missionary, but believed that God had given him a passion and a skill for running … and in fact his biggest impact on life was not all the Christian work he did throughout his life, but his story as told in Chariots of Fire – his faith in the public square.
