Meditation Verse: Psalm 26 “I love the place where your glory dwells”

Living in Rossendale, East Lancashire we have more than our fair share of rain throughout the year!  Last weekend my husband declared “that’s it, we’re not going to have a summer this year” but only a couple of days later, it got a bit warmer and for the last two days the sun has been shining.  I had my first morning coffee and prayer in the garden yesterday and it was just glorious.  I think one of the biggest lessons in wellbeing I have learnt over the last few years is to see beauty and wonder in the little things, a bee buzzing around the back garden, the sound of someone else mowing their lawn and a visit from our outdoors cat when she has spent the morning sunbathing, and her fur is warm and her purrs are loud.  In this ministry of Renewing Wellbeing we have simply been asked to slow down, show up and pray, not just to help others but for our own wellbeing, I pray that each week you take time to do just this.
