What a wonderful world We have been enjoying some brilliant weather and it gives us opportunity to enjoy the wealth of countryside around and about us. When visiting friends closer to London I am always struck with how claustrophobic is feels – and, comparatively, how open it is in Coulsdon. It’s the joy of being the ‘last outpost’ of Greater London in the south; that we are bordering the green and leafy Surrey countryside. Whether it is a stroll through Banstead Woods and the surrounding fields; or perhaps Farthing Downs opening out onto Happy Valley: We have many places to enjoy within a stone’s throw of the centre. I often have to remind myself to go and enjoy it – as it is all too easy to end up with tunnel vision – commuting between work and home, occasionally scurrying out on a scavenging mission for food! When I look at the beauty of the natural world I find my mind elevated. Above the hum-drum of the day-to-day, lifted and refreshed. I find space to breathe (both literally and metaphorically) and take stock of life. It is like a detox for my soul in many ways. Perhaps you find something similar. <strong>CR5</strong> CODEWORD Each letter in this puzzle is represented by a different number between 1 and 26. The codes for three letters are shown. Once you have filled these throughout the grid you can start guessing words and reveal other letters. As you find the letters enter them in the box below. Why can the wonder of the created order have such a profound effect on me I wonder? I believe this is because I am experiencing what in theological circles is called the General Grace of God. God is the creator and sustainer of all things (quite the mechanism for creation is of less concern to me) and those things that we see as beautiful have been provided for our benefit in kindness by our loving God. They are available to all and designed to point us in God’s direction – that we might wonder; be awestruck, amazed. Why would God choose to do this? Why not create a world of cold beauty-less efficiency? Partly because God is good – but also because He wants us to respond to Him – to find Him and to know and love Him. Have a blessed month.
