The Notch Hostel
We take so much for granted in the real world, things like a real bed and a roof over our head on a wet wet day. On the AT it is a luxury and something to be really thankful for. Another pleasure is meeting friends and family, Matt came to visit again. Having a car to get to town for dinner is another special thing.
Thought for the day
(Taken from Lectio 365)
Matthew 18:1-4
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Have I lost my sense of playful joy?
Holy Spirit, will You give me again the laughter of a child? I want to peer into Your word with my eyes and heart wide-open. I want to dance in Your presence without inhibition. I want to laugh, caught off guard by the kindness of Your love. I surrender to You my places of jaded cynicism. Reawaken my delight in Your presence.
Amen xx
