Gratitude as a Lenten practice
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020“In 12 years of research, I have never interviewed a single person with the capacity to really experience joy who does not also actively practice gratitude.” Brené Brown Practicing gratitude is simple. It does not requite any special skill, like riding a bicycle for example would. We can write our gratitude notes in a journal […]
Advent – when light makes a difference in the dark
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020Each Sunday in Advent, we light a candle on our Advent wreath, flickering and shining their light into our churches and homes. As the evenings grow shorter, we can see the candles clearly. They appear brighter and more distinct to us the darker it becomes, and as nighttime falls, they appear quite brilliant in the […]
Grief at a time of Advent
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020Grief is never easy. But some times of the year it may be amplified. I have friends who recently lost people close to them. It’s hard to see their pain, and yet only by witnessing the pain – ours and someone else’s – will we find healing in it. Whether the loss was recent or […]
“Thy kingdom come” is a prayer for healing
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020Jesus thought us to pray, “Thy kingdom come, on earth as it is heaven”. In this day-and-age when social media is so prevalent in our lives, the news travels quickly from one part of the world to another. And bad news travels even quicker, or at least it seems that way at times. We don’t even […]
A tribute to Rev Robert Lawson
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020Robert was a friend. I met him first via Facebook, before ever meeting him in person. Later we would meet through the ministry of healing. He had a great online presence, and connected with many people that way. Presence and gratitude are two realities that make me think of Robert the most. You could feel […]
A gift of vulnerability
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.” Brené Brown Often we Christians think that we have to hold it all together, that we have to be happy and satisfied because if we are not there might be something wrong with our faith, or with […]
Remembering God who became a child
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020In his book Seek That Which Is Above, published in 1986, the then Cardinal Ratzinger says that “Advent is concerned with that very connection between memory and hope which is so necessary to man. Advent’s intention is to awaken the most profound and basic emotional memory within us, namely, the memory of the God who […]
Stop and let Advent happen
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020“One of the essential paradoxes of Advent: that while we wait for God, we are with God all along, that while we need to be reassured of God’s arrival, or the arrival of our homecoming, we are already at home.” Michelle Blake Tune in into your heart and recognise the sentiment you find yourself in […]
Sabbath, a discipline of rest
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020Jesus thought us to pray, “Thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Connecting with God through various moments of our day is when we can put this prayer into practice. How would our life be different if we made a conscious effort to pause, a few times a day, in […]
Taste and see
Posted on: /in Thoughts /by CMH_Admin2020In Autumn we are gathering the fruits the earth produced, grateful for its provision. Autumn is an in-between time, between the warmth of the summer and the dark nights of winter. It is a time of gratitude for this year’s gifts, and a time of letting go, when leaves change their colours and they fall. […]
