Weekend

This weekend has been very relaxing for a few reasons:

1) Our youngest daughter was staying with a friend over the weekend, and
2) For the first time in a long time, I had no services to prepare or meetings to attend on Sunday!

Stuart and I have spent quality time with each other, even though it meant shopping, tidying kitchen cupboards and cooking for the majority of the time - but there was no pressure to do anything and it has been lovely.

The best time spent was in church on Sunday morning, spending time with God before the service, letting his Holy Spirit fill me and refresh me and also to equip me for the week ahead. Although it was great to spend time with Stuart it was even better spending time with God. Our lives are so busy we forget to put time aside to let him come and dwell within us and to show his love for us. As we open ourselves up to him and seek his ways our lives are made richer, our relationship with him grows and develops and most of all that we sense God's great love for each of us and how special we are to him.

If we do nothing else this week, let us try to put some time aside to reinvite, or even invite God into our hearts and deepen our relationship with him.
