Photo was taken yesterday at the Secret Garden Centre, between Boherbue and Newmarket, Co.Cork (Irl)



This is one of the nest boxes hanging up outside the Secret Garden Centre. There was big competition to secure the rights to this nestbox box for 2015 between the blue tit and the great tit. In the end after some spectacular aerial battles, it was the great tit who won the battle! At the moment live footage is streamlined from the nestbox to a television inside in the garden centre for everyone to see them.

Thought For The Week

When you’re really filled with the Holy Spirit it is impossible for those around you not to know it. ~Rod Parsley

Yesterday was the feast of Pentecost. It is always a great feast day celebrating new life, energy, vibrancy, positivity, creativity, hope, light and so much more. It would be great if there was a simple formula in our search for God. We are often unsure where to start and how to begin. Our searches are many, from our local church, attending Mass and saying prayers that vary from traditional to deeply personal. Some find that these simply are not for them and search elsewhere. These searches can often be surprising and beautiful. They include finding God in the humdrum of daily life, music, reading, reflection, meditation, relaxation and so on. Whatever and wherever our search, it is good that we are searching. Sometimes though the search can be frustrating and lonely. This is why the support of the Christian faith community can be our bridge when we struggle and falter. The Spirit of God knows no limits. If anyone puts limits, then it is we who put them there. Pentecost Sunday is all about being open, trusting in the Spirit of God and letting the beautiful energy of God flow where it wants to. There are days too when we lack energy and motivation. But God’s love for us is constantly bubbling over with life and enthusiasm. Nothing can change this. We pray to the Holy Spirit to re-energise us and to help us find the missing links on our daily journey.
