Prayer of the Day
Mighty God and ruler of all creation, give new strength to our faith, that we may recognise your presence even when all hope seems lost. Help us to face all trials with serenity as we walk with Christ through the stormy seas of life and come at the last to your eternal peace. We ask this through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, who lives and reigns with you
and the HOLY SPIRIT, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

Tenth Sunday after Pentecost 13 August, 2017
Tenth Sunday after Pentecost Jesus calls us out of the boat. Recently I heard a sermon
preached by the Families’ Worker, Elizabeth, in my home
parish. In her sermon, she reflected on the nature of the
Church, and pointed to the roof, which bears resemblance to
an upturned ship. She asked us to picture ourselves on the
ship, and what we were doing there: are we on holidays,
enjoying ourselves and the safety the ship provides? Are we
in the lower cabins, uncertain of the course set out before us
over the clamour of our circumstance? Or are we in the en-
gine room, working to ensure we get to our destination safe-
ly? She said that sometimes Jesus calls us to step out in
faith. Jesus calls us out of the boat. And when we fail to hold
all faith, he is there, hand outstretched, to remind us of his
strength to hold us above the waters.
Pray: that Jesus will lead us where our trust is without bor-
ders, that we will walk upon the waters wherever he will call
us.

SWEET DREAMS Hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:5 In the Old Testament a widow had less than a cup of oil,
enough to make one loaf of bread. However, when God
spoke through Elijah, she made a loaf of bread for him, one
for herself, and then went on to fill every jar and jug she
could find with the oil provided by God. God filled this wom-
an’s jars because she needed oil, and He will pour His
blessings into our lives, into those empty areas that need to
be filled. So, seek God today—He is in the business of
making dreams come true. He already knows what we need
and is simply waiting for us to ask.
It’s easy to trust God for the ordinary. By knowing His intimate will for my life, I can begin
to trust Him for the extraordinary

Do something nice & try not to get caught. Listen more. Talk less. Everyday take a 30 min. walk. Strive for excellence, not perfection. Be on time. Don’t make excuses. Don’t argue. Get organised. Be kind to un-kind people. Let someone cut ahead of you in line. Take time to be alone. Cultivate good manners. Be humble. Realise & accept that life isn’t fair. Know when to keep you mouth shut. Go an entire day with-out criticising anyone. Learn from the past. Plan for the future. Live in the present. Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s all small stuff. ANON
