Continuing the theme of water.
23 Some went down to the sea in ships,
Psalm 107:23-31
doing business on the mighty waters;
they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their calamity;
they reeled and staggered like drunkards,
and were at their wits’ end.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out from their distress;
he made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
Then they were glad because they had quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Give yourself time to be aware of the vast range there is in the human experience of water. From resting beside calm pools in leafy burns to vast expanses of ocean.
Exercise your ability to wonder.
Jesus teaches that God is both creator of the cosmos, and comforter. Examine your life story so far. Where do you sense the cosmic presence of God in awesome things? Where do you sense God close with you?

Thank you! We used the video on the service post.
Lying awake in a large viking tent with a very heavy ridge pole listening to the wind and rain -fervently praying that it would not blow down, and for others in the encampment, that they would not get wet. Eventually came to a place of acceptance in God’s will and was able to sleep. Grateful for the much-needed rain and that it mainly fell at night and not as much during the day when we were demonstrating our crafts to the public.
