Spring
Just to let you know there are some free books to take to read.
Walking around Holt you might notice lots of coloured hearts hanging on doors and gates
They look really lovely and reminds us of Gods love and community spirit .
Also as we walk around or look out our windows in to the garden, we see hope of new life as the bulbs and buds start bursting into colour and flowers starting to appear on trees.
This reminded me of the verse
Mathew 6:25
“Do not worry about about your life, what you will eat and drink or about your body, what to wear.
is life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”
It’s so easy to be consumed by fear and anxiety especially at the moment when we have been in a unexpected difficult situation .
Its so easy for our roots to be pulled out and blown about in the wind and leave us anxious and wondering how we are going to cope financially or deal with family ,illness fear of loneliness what the future brings
But as we plant our roots and let them grow deeper with God and our foundations become stronger we will see that God is faithful he is our provider and as we rest and wait in his timing you will see your prayers being answered .
I found this song which was written by Ellie Holcomb hope you enjoy reading or listening to it on you tube to !
“Do Not Worry”
(Matthew 6:25-34)
They’re given everything they need
They don’t worry where their next meal will come from
They don’t worry ’bout a thingSo just, look around you and try to listen to
The song creation sings
And don’t you worry cause you’re in the hands
Of the God who made everythingSee the flowers in their colorful beauty
They’re dressed better than a king
They don’t worry about what they should wear, no
They don’t worry ’bout a thingSo just, look around you and try to listen to
The song creation sings
And don’t you worry cause you’re in the hands
Of the God who made everything
Because you’re not a bird and you’re not a flower
You don’t have petals or wings
But there is good news, you’re worth so much more
To the God who made everything
So when you worry ’bout today or tomorrow
And the storms that they might bring
Try to remember that you’re in the hands
Of the God who made everything
So just, look around you and try to listen to
The song creation sings
And don’t you worry cause you’re in the hands
Of the God who made everything
A few ways to help you grow deeper in your faith
Identify places in your life which you need Jesus the most
Get involved in a bible study or small group ie ALPHA course
Find at least one blessing from God every day
Find a friend, relative, or church in which you can talk about God or scripture to help you through life’s problems
Pick up and turn to the scriptures
As always please contact church or access the website if you are in need and support there will always be someone there to support and listen and advice .
