Dear friends,It's my first day back after holidays and so when Greg mailed me this morning to ask if I'd remembered that I was down to do the weekly thought, my first confused thought was to check what the date was, and then to try and scramble together my confused brain to write something half legible. It might be a year of this. This time next year I will be somewhere - it won't be Minsterley, it might be a couple of miles down the road or it might be the other side of the country! It's going to be a bewildering time regardless and so do keep us in your prayers as we seek after God's will for us as a family. We are fortunate that we follow a good God who cares for us and wants us to be in the "right place" so as to best serve him, but it can be unsettling while that all works itself out. The beginning of the old poem by Minnie Louise Hoskins provides a helpful steer:And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown". And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way".Rev. Richard Lonsdale Asst Curate at Pontesbury & Stiperstones Churches
