This barley should be a beautiful golden colour at this time of year but a serious lack of sunshine means it is weeks behind.

Thought on Wednesday – July – 18/07/2012

The following is one of Liam Lawton’s songs called ‘There Is A Place’ dedicated to our loved ones who have died but who will always live in our hearts.

There is a time to remember, a time to recall, the trials and the triumphs, the fears and the falls. There is a time to be grateful for moments so blessed, the jewels of our memory where love is our guest.

There is gold that is gleaming in a past we once knew, in our tears and our laughter, ’twas love brought us through, there’s a road we have travelled where sunlight has kissed, that carries us onwards when loved ones are missed.

There is treasure in our fields, there is treasure in our skies, there is treasure in our dreaming from the soul to the eye, for wherever we gather in the light of God’s grace and for all whom we remember there will ever be a place.

In the quiet of the evening, at the close of the day, we will rest from our journey; to the Lord we will pray. May we thank God for blessings and for the moments we have shared, as we look to tomorrow, close by us they’ll stay.

There is treasure in our fields, there is treasure in our skies, there is treasure in our dreaming from the soul to the eye, for wherever we gather in the light of God’s grace and for all whom we remember there will ever be a place.
