Severn Bridge

Photo with kind permission taken by Paul Day from Gloucestershire Camera club. 

There is something very special about the Second Severn Crossing. When I go across Severn Bridge I am always led to pray. For me it is a spiritual place. I’m not sure if it is because the bridge is so majestic or whether it is because it is the gateway into Wales. Maybe it is the river that runs beneath the bridge? Certainly I always feel at home when I have the River Severn in sight. 

Thoughts and feelings can not always be put into words. Perhaps there are some things better expressed in pictures? This photo struck my soul - to me it speaks of the promise of God. The river of God flows from the thrown room and he has made a bridge across it. 

Reflections

God is reflected in much of what we see and yet we don’t see Him. We fail to notice because we don’t stop long enough to notice. 

Someone said that God had given them a picture of me holding several tokens in my hand. I have been praying about the things that He wants me to do. The messsge seemed to be that I already had lots of things. 

I got in my car to go to the gym the other day. (I will get fit.) and looked in my small compartment to check if I had a pound coin for the locker. There were only three copper coins. I went inside to find a pound and came back to put it in the snall compartment until I had reached the gym. When I opened it up again it was full. I’m sure God was having a laugh at me. I thought I had little but actually I have lots of coins. The coins seemed to have got stuck on a ridge inside. Sometimes we think we are so lacking but yet if only we opened our eyes we would see how truely blessed we are.
