Bacon Butties & Elderflowers

May 2020 Lockdown

Today the house smells of elderflowers and bacon, because we walked in the sparkling sun early this morning, and picked elderflowers to make cordial. When we got home we had bacon butties with homemade bread while we read on the screen the humorous comments of our church family before we all listened to the Sunday Sermon together. 

No cold north wind of loss can drive out the warmth of those memories.

I was clearing up my desk recently and found this short piece of writing in an old note book. It was such a good warm memory from a time that was so hard for so many and for whom the scars still remain.

There is much comfort to be found in the word of God (Matthew 5:4, Psalm 34, Revelation 21:4) but also courage to face the lie that is fear and overcome it; the crown is His healing to mind, body and soul.

In that old note book, there was also a piece called ‘The Journey’ about our moving house, and another which became a short story called ‘Bonfire Night’. It is one of many short stories I have written over the years and, if I am hearing correctly from HQ, I might begin to share with you. These stories are diverse in subject matter and genre and not always Christian in their ethos, however they are interesting, entertaining and original.

I will try to give you a heads up on my Facebook page when something new is released.

May you be blessed,

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights, the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens, in whom there is no variation (rising or setting) or shadow cast by His turning for He is perfect and never changes (James 1:17).
