Retreating And Remembering

forgetful heart ook

This retreat is proving really beneficial. I have been diligent about how I have used my time – much spent in reading, prayer and reflection. Some spent relaxing with sewing projects. A little spent on the PC, and some spent with my “Norfolk nearest and dearest”"

And I’ve read this book. Lucy is a friend and fellow blogger, and her publisher sent me a review copy last week. It has been exactly the right thing for my Retreat. I rate it *****

I have already gone on at length to Christine and Bob about it . A proper review will follow later. Details of book here and Lucy’s website is here. Jane, I am sorry, this is flat Norfolk, so I shan’t be climbing every mountain, nor yet going high on a hill with any goatherds. Today is sermon preparation day!

But what is is about the atmosphere at Cornerstones? – even when I do not have to, I wake early, eager to get up and get on with things!

    1. Thanks Lucy. I have been very diligent about the [helpful] 'Reflection exercises' you put in each chapter. However, Bob was a little alarmed when he phoned up and I told him I had just written my obituary!!!

  2. I imagine that days at Cornerstones dawn with no pressure attached.
