Thurs 5th Aug: The silent land

IMG_1458

This Thursday we ate our meal in silence before moving onto our night prayer. It was a tranquil and reflective experience. So amazing watching how peaceful the children could be. Thanks to everyone for going along with it.

Here are some comments from the evening…

  • in peace we are allowed to be
  • love the noises usually drowned out – cutlery on plates
  • praying to God thinking about new life
  • more togetherness and cooperation – less noise and less of the unnessecary
  • be still and know that I am God – Psalms
  • words are the net that hold us together but without the net we can swim free in the sea
  • when you pray, go to your private room and, when you have shut the door, pray to your father who is in that secret place, and your father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you. Mt 6:6

  1. Sounds Beautiful!

  2. It was amazing – even the kids were quiet(ish) for over an hour, and there were 7(?) of ‘em including 3 babies!

    Great to be in eachother -and God’s- company for the sake of being together.
