Alphabet Messages from Kay
TUESDAY 28 APRIL
Morning All
So day 2 challenge, the letter B - Beauty
You know something, even in the midst of all the unrest, the anxiety, the seemingly dark days - there is beauty. The daffodils are blooming, the tulips, the snowdrops, butterflies, even the bumble bees. When I walk the dogs I see people tending their gardens, I look at the green hills, I see trees blossoming ( I love the cherry blossoms in bloom ) When I was a midwife in 'The Rottenrow' the hospital badge was the snowdrop - signifying new life. You know people 'new life' will come again, by that I mean this way of life we are living just now will pass - and who knows this new life may be even better, more balanced, more fruitful, more tolerant. What would you like this 'new life' to look like ??? In the beauty of creation and nature may your hearts always be open to see the beauty in each other. Wouldn't that be something beautiful.

God loves you - No Matter What
PRAYER: Lord thank You for nature of every kind. Thank You for beauty because if we open our eyes and our hearts wide enough we can see beauty all around us, not only in nature but in each other. Thank You for the beauty we see in Your love and for the beauty we read in Your word. Help us this day to appreciate at least one aspect of beauty. Amen
CHORUS:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The lord god made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their little wings.
All things bright .....
The purpleheaded mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky.
All things bright .......
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
All things bright .......
MONDAY 27 APRIL
Morning All,
I thought I would set myself a challenge and try to post an encouraging image with a message to match going through the letters of the Alphabet - big task maybe but I love a challenge and I am sure if there is a day I get 'stuck' you will forgive me. So today I am starting with APPRECIATION. I really - appreciate - the words on the image. We all feel a sense of self worth when someone tells us they appreciate us or what we did or do for them. Not in a conceited way but with a sense of satisfaction that our action(s) helped another. See a lot of that just now - especially with our clapping on Thursday evenings for the NHS, or doing neighbours shopping etc all those acts of kindness are appreciated and even though those acts are done out of love seeking nothing in return, it's nice to be appreciated. So your challenge for today - is there someone you need to show your appreciation to today - don't need grand gestures just the words, ' thank you I appreciate all you do for me'.

God loves you - No Matter What
PRAYER: God our Father, in case I haven't said it often enough, I appreciate Your love, Your forgiveness, Your acceptance, Your understanding, Your wisdom and guidance.... in fact I appreciate all of You and especially for always being there for me and never ever letting me down, so great is Your love. AMEN
CHORUS:
I'm accepted, I'm forgiven,
I am fathered by the true and living God.
I'm accepted, no condemnation,
I am loved by the true and living God.
There's no guilt or fear as I draw near
To the Saviour and creator of the world,
There is joy and peace as I release
My worship to You O Lord
