Morning prayers


'All is silent, in the still and soundless air, I fervently bow to my Almighty God.' (Bing Xin China)
Two things were in my mind when I came to meet this morning.
The words of that lovely hymn 'Glorious things of thee are spoken,' were my first spoken for the day I had two images going with them. An image of the beauty of Gods creation and the thought of a young disabled man who offered his own prayer of thanks and appreciation for the church group I run for people with disabilities....a beautiful prayer, a deeply touching prayer.
I thought these words from the Iona Community:
The turn of the leaf in the morning sun
and the catch in our throat
drives us to our knees
and into prayer.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
