Do You Know Your Eye Health ? cont’d services! However, in the communities where Orbis works, this isn’t always the case. Local high street opticians or clinics for those who require more complex treatments can be hard to access. Many around the world suffer needlessly with blinding conditions that are easily treatable. Let us not take our own sight for granted
A New Harvest Hymn
Be a clanger and keep your mind healthy; cont’d G is for Giving. As Christians this one shouldn’t surprise us. Giving our time, taking part in community life, acts of kindness are all good for us as well as the recipients. In summary we should all be CLANGERS. We need to look after ourselves staying healthy as best we can in body and mind. We can also encourage each other by keeping in touch, getting involved in activities and by giving whatever we can.
For the fruit of all creation Thanks be to God For His gifts to every nation Thanks be to God For the ploughing sowing reaping Silent growth while we are sleeping Future needs in earth's safekeeping Thanks be to God

Do You Pray? This was found on my Face Book page, I do not know who sent it or whose thoughts they are, however, I thought it worth passing on.

What is prayer? Prayer doesn’t only happen when we kneel or put our hands together and focus and expect things from God. Thinking positive and wishing good for others is a prayer. When you hug a friend. That’s a prayer. When you cook something to nourish family and friends. That’s a prayer. When we send off our near and dear ones and say, ‘drive safely’ or ‘be safe.’ That’s a prayer. When you are helping someone in need by giving your time and energy. You are praying. When you forgive someone, that is prayer. Prayer is a vibration. A feeling. A thought. Prayer is the voice of love, friendship, genuine relationships. Prayer is an expression of your silent being. Keep praying always… A final thought sent to me by my daughter-in-law… When prayer becomes your habit, miracles become your lifestyle. Never give up on prayer no matter what comes your way.
