Hello Everyone.
Continuing to be concerned for you all. You are in my Daily Prayers.
Again, please may I ask you to Pray for each other. I am aware of an Officer who has two teenagers with Covid. Others planning trips to university in a matter of a few weeks.
In our Church a week ago, our visiting speaker shared with us his thoughts on the “Water being changed into Wine” story as found in John 2. 1-11.
So good when you hear thoughts on a story you know really well, which brings revelation.
I wonder what was going through the minds of these Servants as they filled the stone jars and then for them to be asked to take a sample to the Master.
The Lord looks to us to undertake actions for Him, we may never know the full outcome.
But as the Servants trusted Jesus, so do we.
The result- amazing Wine.
His Will being done on earth through us His Servants.
And it is all because we know our Lord and how he is able to work miracles through us.
Press on this week in Him as He uses you in bringing His Kingdom here on earth.
Many Blessings.
Alice.

It has been a privilege for me to know Mike Quinnell as a dear friend. I have wanted to share his testimony as he is such an inspiration to me personally, and to everyone who knows him. Mike feels it is now the appropriate time to share his journey….
Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your replies to last week’s Prayer Letter.
I am continuing to ask you to Pray for those who are not well, including those of whom you are unaware. Also because of my chats with people, so much weariness is being experienced. Please take care of yourselves and those who are precious to you.
A few days ago, I was reading in Soul Fuel; written by Bear Grylls, that he (BG) would love to have the gift that Peter had – being able to walk on water. Having seen the times BG has finished up in water – often icy but also filthy, I can understand why.
We read in Matthew 14. 22-33, the story of Jesus making his way – walking on the water to the boat in which the disciples were. Peter said:
“Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” Jesus said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
I believe there are many times when we are as though walking on water, having placed our trust in the Lord, but then begin to doubt because of the happenings around us. But yet He Jesus has never at any time left us.
I Pray when difficulties both at work and at home meet you head on this coming week, you will know Your Lord and Saviour will take you by the hand and see you through.
Many Blessings and In His Grip. Alice.
Hello Everyone,
Is it me or are the weeks travelling by very quickly? Here I am again with yet another Prayer Letter.
I am starting today with a Prayer Request. I am aware of a number of people in the Force battling illness and weariness. Some needing an operation and isolating – Praying that they do not succumb to Covid. Please can I encourage you to Pray, even though you do not know who you are Praying for. The Lord knows.
Staying in the Medical World. Last week I gave my usual blood donation. I have just learned that it is fine – I am really pleased to know that, but even more so that it has been processed; mainly into platelets, some of it remains as blood, the rest is plasma. It has travelled to Taunton in Devon where it will be given to 1 -3 cancer patients. My blood is always used in such treatment.
I have, since hearing this news, been in touch with a Police Chaplain in Lincolnshire. She too has donated her blood and in her case; babies and people with a low immune system will benefit.
Amazing how the Medical World has worked out how our blood can benefit different sections of humanity.
Thankfully Jesus paid the ransom with His Blood that is for everyone.
Thank You Lord for Your Great Sacrifice.
Blessings
Alice.
