The Moderator today, writing about Luke 12:22-31 says,
Twice here Jesus gets us to ‘consider’ the world around us.
We’re to look at the ravens (v24)
and we are to gaze at the wild flowers (v27).
We are left in no doubt as to what Jesus wants us to learn –
we have no need to worry because all around us
we can see the evidences of God’s care and blessing.
William and Wilma are writing about the same themes.
Wilma has asked us to consider in her Thoughts On Tueday,
the birds last week and this week the gardens.
We have so much to give thanks to God for,
and William at the end of Tides today points us to this song,
“My heart is filled with thankfulness”.
Give thanks to God as you listen to it.

Prayer
Pete Greig - From the 24/7 Prayer (You may remember the Prayer Course that we completed on Wednesday evenings last year) tweeted the following about prayer.

Can I be honest with you? I'm actually not into prayer. I’m into Jesus, so we talk.
I don’t believe in the power of prayer. I believe in the power of God. So I ask for his help. A lot.
I'm not into evangelism. I hate evangelism! I'm into Jesus. So I talk to people about him.

Ministry Milestones
There are certain milestones that you reach in ministry, sometimes you are pleased with your achievements, other times you wonder where it all went wrong. Lockdown has brought new opportunities and challenges, and today I can announce a new record of 5357 views online, sadly not for one of my sermons but for a Jigsaw. The Jigsaw of the trees in Coleraine covered in snow at the last count has been attempted 5357 times.
I can safely say, I never thought this would ever be part of my ministry. In a week where I appeared on TV for my walking skills rather than my preaching skills, perhaps I need to use lockdown to take a long hard look at where my life is going. (Usually the jigsaws get about 40-50 attempts)

Times for yesterday’s puzzle of the Giant’s Causeway -
Derek 6:55
Lynne 10:54
The puzzle today picks up the theme of the Ebenezer Stone from Burnside At Home last Sunday.
I think this is a tough one today.
The photo for this puzzle was taken at Holy Island, Lindisfarne, which we often visit when we holiday in the ever popular City of Durham.

Ebenezer Stone Of Help
Eric also shares, on the theme of the Ebenezer Stone of Help, the following photographs of Fantail Falls in New Zealand which Zara visited. This puts the feeble attempts around Portstewart to shame.

Where Is It?
A little debate about the tractor yesterday, some thought it was cleaning the sand at the play park in the Crescent, but as Anne commented yesterday, “Tractor is the one on the beach used by National Trust to pull out vehicles which are embedded in the sand.”
