I got the idea for this new blog at the end of the week of New Wine, a Christian festival in Somerset, in August 2011. You might guess from my profile that, although not entirely house-bound, I don't very often get out, and it occurred to me that I might try to create a blog to encourage in our faith people like me whose lives are limited in one way or another. I'm hoping that readers will feel able to contribute their own positive ideas. I'm not sure how it will work, but here goes...!
Teach me, my God and King, in all things Thee to see...
A man that looks on glass,
On it may stay his eye,
Or, if he pleaseth, through it pass
And then the heaven espy.
George Herbert (1593-1633)

Birthday pearls of wisdom
This comes from the Facebook of Shape Arts, which a London Disability-led arts organisation working to improve access to culture for disabled people. The post was headed: "Wise words...".
“Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”

Or - "When you have thanked your God
For every blessing sent
What time will then remain
For moaning and lament?"
