Day 7 of my Sabbatical.
Two returns:
A return to the exercise classes, and
an annual return reflecting on the last year of ministry.
Both needed brainwork.
Both feed the sabbatical.

Day 5 of my Sabbatical.
I reflected upon a recent event, and the effect it had on me. I fell for a scam. I trusted them and thought I was helping them. I felt foolish and dispirited. Thanks to God I was refilled spiritually, but the experience helped me to see how harmful lies are to our wellbeing.

Day 4 of my sabbatical.
Church this morning was the Radio service, with talk of Tyndale. We are all able to read the Bible for ourselves. We owe a lot to people of the past. The reading was that of the Samaritan woman. Jesus sat on Jacob’s well. The spring of living water is drawn from the deep.

Day 2 of my sabbatical.
A day of reflection.
I filled in the first part of my MDR form, thinking about the last 3 years in ministry.
Sad news arrived of an old friend who has died. I spent some time reflecting upon the past, on who he was and all we shared.

Day One of my sabbatical.
I took a virtual walk alongside the Thames in central London, following the Nazareth Community’s contemplative prayer walk from last Saturday.
I took a real walk taking in two of the churches in North Norfolk, taking the opportunity to pray in each.

Spirituality is not the pursuit of wealth or a means of controlling our destiny or our luck, our fortune, our physical health or our mood but a seeking of the meaning of life in accordance with the gifts from God, goodness and love: this leads us to truth - this is Spirituality.

If we keep our focus on God the spirit within us is empowered and uplifted, to work for the good - however much the darkness tries to encroach upon us.
