With a lot of rain expected tomorrow, Janet did two days’ walk today, so she could have tomorrow off. Fortunately, these were two fairly light and pleasant days: nevertheless, it was a hard day’s work for her, open towpath, canal works paused for Sunday, the dark and mossy wood, water works paused for Sunday. Big engineering, delicate plants, mosses, fungi. We have moved digs again, to Drumnadrochit, getting closer now to the east side of Scotland.
Strange that another Sunday passes without church. Yet not a day, maybe not a moment, passes without Jesus. How does that work?
God of love, Creator, Jesus, Spirit, one God,
we thank you that we are not alone.
In happiness or in suffering,
you are alongside us.
In the boring, ordinary days,
you do not desert us in favour of
more interesting people.
Your Creation is all around us.
Your love calls us out of ourselves.
Your Spirit meets us in unexpected places.
You are our God, and we are your people.
Help us then, to live as you want us to,
every day of the week.
