Minister's Puse for thought October2026
Revd John Henry
Tickhill Methodist Church
Pause for thought 1st October 2026.So,
I guess we can truly say that we are entering the autumn seasonwhen leaves turn a wonderful colour and we definitely start to feel thatnip in the air.
I wonder how you view the autumn; you could view it negatively… the summers over and the dark nights and cold days will start to creep in; or you could flip all of that and think how lovely… ‘snug’ evenings at home by the fire! Of course that doesn't work for everyone, particularly as costs have risen.
However, I have to say personally I love the autumn. I love getting intonature and creation; and find myself praising God for all the wonderful seasons!… and I guess that part of the thinking behind harvest time when we celebrate a creator God.
I am reminded of the words of the hymn:
Now thank we all our God, with hearts and hands and voices
who wondrous things has done in which this world rejoices.
What are you thanking God for at this time.
Where can you see the hand of God in creation?
It’s a thought!
Much love Revd John
