Sunday 22nd September

 I've chosen just a couple of verses from one of the readings at today's service, from the book of James, chapter 3; 

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 

....17 ... the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 

There's something to aspire to! It's a big 'ask'.

The next verse

18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

leads me to pray for peacemakers working for peace in all wars and conflicts everywhere.
