Thank you
Just to say Thank you for a fantastic weekend and all your hard work, we are now looking forward to holding our own local conference in Thame, Oxon in the autumn. I hope you all get a well earned rest and feel very blessed this week.
I Believe
Are you in need of a five minute break? I know that many worship songs with images are sent around by email but this is one of the best I have seen. Maybe you could have it playing in the background at an event or at the beginning of a pram service. Perhaps there is someone you could email it to today. Or maybe you should just take a moment of your own time and watch the beauty of creation with a believing heart.
When there are no words…
Last week I sat with a friend facing a heart breaking situation. She was looking for wise words and helpful advice, I was unable to give either.Instead we wept together in a little office with the door closed to the world. Sometimes there are no words that seem appropriate. We did manage to pray and handed over all the sadness to God.
When I got back home I sent her the words from an Amy Grant song – ‘Better Than a Hallelujah’.
We pour out our misery and God just hears a melody.
Beautiful the mess we are, the honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a hallelujah.
This Youtube video has the words and some lovely images. I have found peace in just listening to it as I pray. Maybe there is someone you know who needs you not to talk but sit with them.
Thank you, Amy Grant.
