It’s been a great long weekend with lots of time to chill with the family and do some reading – although I am still struggling with the theology of other religions assignment which is becoming a bit of a frustration.

Yesterday we took a great walk along the coast from Seasalter to Whitstable. Looking along the coast and out to sea it was amazing to be able to notice and enjoy different elements of God’s creation. The sea is always a place where I feel the closest to God and parts of yesterday this was very true.

I enjoy noticing God in the everyday as it reminds me, and shows others, how accessible God has made himself to us:

God in the beautiful parts of creation we observed.
God in the joy of our children playing.
God in our conversations of laughter.
God in the ordinary everyday stuff of family life.

The great long weekend is coming to an end though as I have to attend SEITE tonight as I can’t make it tomorrow – although the subject is St Ignatius’ spiritual writings so I’m quite looking forward to it. (Honesty moment: I’d miss the lecture but I’m going to write my assignment on this so thought I should make the effort!)
