Giving thanks among terrible events





Having watched the devastating news from last night, I have just walked into my front garden. I give thanks to God for the fact that I am safe amongst good friends in the multi-cultural community of Aldborough Hatch. Four terrorist attacks and one disastrous tower block fire have shattered life here in England. I have a wonderfully supportive family who are there for me when I am down and out - which happens from time to time as you grow older. For reasons which I will not dwell on here, the past week has been a worrying time for me - but nothing compared to those hundreds who have been killed, maimed or have lost loved ones. May peace return to our streets and hate and greed be cast side, and may we reach out in love.
