Time to stop

I’ve been writing this blog for nearly 3 years now and have realised that the original reason for providing my weekly ramblings has been and gone so I feel it is time to stop.  If you feel this blog helps you and you will miss it, please email me at fiona@renewwellbeing.org.uk and I can have a re-think.  The wider charity provides similar resources if you visit our much-improved website at www.renewwellbeing.org.uk

Here’s a blessing for anyone who’s travelled with me at some point over the last three years:

“One treasure

One pearl

One thing

I seek your kingdom

Your presence

Each day this week

One heart

For one goal

One joy

One prize

To see

All things

With your eyes

It’s simple it’s costly

Not easy

It’s true

But to give in simplicity

To give my all

To you

All thoughts and

All dreams

All plans

And all fears

I give you my minutes

My hours

Days and

Years

I give you my treasure

I give you my dross

I give you my moments

Of success and

Of loss

I give you my heart

I give all gain to you

Your kingdom, your reign

Give the old for the new

But the pearl I have found

And the treasure I win

Is true love and forgiveness

And freedom from sin

The things I held tightly

Were heavy to me

Now you hold them

I hold life

Divine swap

I’m free”
