Weekly Meditation Verse: Psalm 129 \u201cThe Blessing of the Lord be on you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel very blessed right now as tomorrow we are off on holiday to Cornwall and as I wrap things up neatly before going and make to do lists for my return, I look forward to re-connecting with my Renew family over the coming weeks as there is less in the diary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with many things in this life, getting to Cornwall from up North takes a bit of effort and a fair bit of horrid motorway driving, but the hard work is worth it when I hear the sea lapping against the harbour or shore for the first time and I\u2019m in my happy place. Just as I find it helpful to have a special chair in the house where I do my morning prayers with my first coffee (usually surrounded by sleepy cats) it is good to have a special place to go to that gives an enormous sense of wellbeing where we can feel truly blessed. It doesn\u2019t have to be miles away; it could be a local beauty spot or even a lovely garden centre. Can I encourage you to take time out from your busy schedule to go to the place where you can truly feel the blessing of the Lord and enjoy His creation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Psalm 16: 6-9<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7 <\/sup><\/strong>I will bless the Lord who guides me;
6 <\/sup><\/strong>The land you have given me is a pleasant land.
What a wonderful inheritance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
even at night my heart instructs me.
8 <\/sup><\/strong>I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
