“The beauty of nature reflects the beauty of our Creator. God paints the sky every morning and every evening.” — Billy Graham

This week, I was challenged by this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, a poet, essayist and philosopher who wrote in 1860, ‘You can never do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.’ So let me ask you, how you getting on with ‘Loving your neighbour as yourself?’ Well perhaps we should all take notice of Waldo’s quote and do an unexpected kindness to a neighbour this week You might be surprised by the result. Tea and cake is always a good start!

Here’s an inspirational quote for this week by Charles Spurgeon, “The Lord is my Shepherd. He is not a shepherd, He is my Shepherd. He cares for me, watches over me, and preserves me.” And here is the really good news – the Lord is also your shepherd.

This week please reflect on this quote by D. L. Moody who once said, “A man does not get grace because he works for it. Grace is the free gift of God.” Praise the Lord.

As we approach our Love Aldwick summer celebration, just remember this inspirational quote by Eric Liddell: “We are all missionaries. Wherever we go we either bring people nearer to Christ, or we repel them from Christ.” The Love Aldwick events often bring non-Christians into the church – so please make sure you radiate the love of Jesus to everyone you meet!
