Greetings beloved friends and followers! I hope you’re enjoying a peaceful weekend. This morning I was up early and it was a beautiful, crisp winter’s morning in South London. I decided to take a walk around my local park. It’s such a blessing to be able to get some fresh air in lovely surroundings, despite living in a crazily busy city!
Here are a few snaps from my walk:
Ten Things I’m Grateful For Today
- A delicious meal out last night
- I met a couple of lovely friendly people unexpectedly yesterday
- There are lots of cosy cafe’s near my flat
- I live in an amazing city
- I slept soundly and peacefully last night
- I laughed a few times yesterday
- My ability to write
- I’m the owner of a working MacBook
- I’ve got plenty of amazing books to read
- I’ve got lovely warm clothing for the winter months
So grateful to God for countless other blessings!
What are you doing this weekend? Let me know in the comments π
I don’t go out much. I take care of my 90 year old mother as well as have social phobia. But, I love my life so much. Love my mom and husband. For fun, I paint, listen to music, bake, do crosswords and read books. Love to read blogs too. I’m so glad we have lots to be thankful for.

Dude, It’s so important to be thankful, great for our mental as well as spiritual health. Awesome list of things that you were thankful for. Thanks for sharing. Love the pics as well, especially the bottom one!! Well its Sunday night here and I am ready for the new week. The wife and I were given free Luxury tickets to go see the new star wars movie so we went last night and today we had church. In the middle of that we managed to work through some stuff that has been bothering us. A good weekend. Hope you have a great start to the week Steven!

Yesterday, a solo drive to a breakfast spot was good. Some play and work time with my young son — bicycling, motorcycling, picking up leaves, and washing my old pickup truck. Planning a deeply exegetical study (approx. midway through a series of 15 or 20 sessions) in Galatians for a small group has also given me energy this weekend.

Hey Lynn π I finished reading The Pilgrim’s Progress and have started two other books already… one about the origin of different Bible versions and one about Unitarian Universalism which I know next to nothing about! And very grateful to own a beautiful chunky jumper that will see me through the winter months! God bless you π
