August is here once again. Many people look forwasrd to this as the month for holidays and a time away from it all – we hope accompanied by some real summer weather. For others it is a time of lots of work connected with harvest. Whatever you are doing, remember that all you do is under the continuing love and care of God. If you have the chance to take a break from the regular pattern of your life, then stop and look at the wonderful world around you that God has provided. He wants us to take the chance of appreciating it – and not to be so busy with the worries and troubles of daily life that we hardly see his gifts. As the poet put it, “What is this life, if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?”
Take time this month to stand and stare, to stop and look at all that is around you. Ask God to help you to appreciate his gifts and use them wisely.
At the end of this month, on 31^st August, we will be having an “away-day” - there will be just one Sunday service on that day and it will be at 10.30a.m. in the little former parish church of St. Chad, Barton Blount – a rare opportunity for us to worship in that lovely place. On that occasion, as well as welcoming congregations from the 8 parish churches of the benefice and members of the local Methodist Churches, we will also have the opportunity of welcoming Rev. Joe Cant who was ordained deacon in Derby Cathedral last month to serve as Deanery Curate in the Longford Deanery. This will be his first visit to a service in our parishes, so I hope that all will make a special effort to be there to welcome him. In coming months he will be spending time working in various parishes of the deanery. Please pray for Joe and his family as they settle into their new life amongst us.
