Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you through what you read, reminding you of his promises, revealing more of who he is and what he asks of you.
It is always a good idea, each time we read the bible to write down, not what the notes have said or the study bible says, but to write down what God has said to us in our hearts. It is great if you can jot that down in your bible so that the next time you open that passage the reminder is there of what God has said in the past.

Donald Trump's Mother's Home
Sometimes I find things that are just too good not to share. I was looking for a Psalm for the beginning of the service on Sunday, (which proved much more difficult than I anticipated) and I came across this programme. I haven’t had time to watch it yet but the title intrigues me. “BBC visits Donald Trump's Mother's home on Isle Of Lewis, Scotland”, you may already have seen this on Songs of Praise.

Opening of Churches?
It will probably be quite some time before Churches reopen, and even then it will be with many restrictions. We have however begun planning for when the restrictions may be relaxed, Jim McCracken has already been measuring out the church and hall to see how we can accommodate worshippers while maintaining social distancing.
This week Agriculture minister Edwin Poots speaking at the local daily press conference began the debate and said the following.
It will probably be quite some time before Churches reopen, and even then it will be with many restrictions. We have however begun planning for when the restrictions may be relaxed, Jim McCracken has already been measuring out the church and hall to see how we can accommodate worshippers while maintaining social distancing.
This week Agriculture minister Edwin Poots speaking at the local daily press conference began the debate and said the following.
It is now more than five weeks since the restrictions on movement, gatherings and trading came into force and at this afternoon’s daily Stormont press conference both the DUP’s Edwin Poots and Sinn Fein’s Deirdre Hargey emphasised that there will be no imminent move towards lifting most of those restrictions.
However, Mr Poots suggested the possibility of easing the rules in certain areas such as church gatherings where people can be kept apart or on solitary activities such as angling.
He stressed that such changes would only be made in line with medical and scientific advice, but said that ministers were aware of the negative impact of the current rules on the mental health of the population.
Mr Poots said that he attends a church which has 700 seats and added: ”If we can facilitate social distancing, can we do it? That’s a reasonable question to ask.
“If you have a church where you can’t facilitate social distancing but people want to come together, can you do it in drive-in churches, for example, so that people don’t get out of their cars and they listen to the service through the radio but they still gather?
“Those are all questions that we as an Executive have to look at.”
He said there was a need for “harsh restrictions” at the outset bu that “I believe that we can keep people with us by having a graduated response to it...giving people a little more latitude to engage in some of the activities that they prefer to engage in.”
And Finally
It may get a bit boring looking at pictures of Portstewart in beautiful sunshine (I know it never gets boring) So I thought I would share a few different pictures today.
“Where is It?”
Where would you find these Cherry Blossoms?

Perhaps an extra clue.
