We kick off our beautiful advent season with a robin. I have been spying a rather colourful little boy hopping around my unraked leaves in the garden, with the most stunning red breast. Robins are sadly on the decline in the UK due to habitat loss. and yet he is a definite symbol of the season.

He likes to forage on the ground looking for worms and other tasty titbits. He can be found in the garden and along hedgerows and is quite territorial to say the least. He will lose a lot of bodyfat in winter so be sure to put something out for him, well away from cats or anything that can hurt him.

His symbolism is very pertinent for us as he is associated with spirit visitors, turning up and acting sometimes out of character. Some have followed me along on my walks for a short distance. He has a beautiful voice also, although it is probably a war cry to any other robins to stay out of his territory, it sounds wonderful to our ears, on any cool winters’ morning.

Well we had spirit visitors last night and plenty of good song as we sang heartily at our beautiful healing service in Chawton. Thank you to all our readers, and the lighting of the advent candle by Sue. Barbara explained a little about advent, and then we had some thoughts shared by Rob and healing followed during the service. Thank you healers. Thank you all for a lovely serene evening and a little more time to visit with each other.

Prayer of the week

Please pray that more people in this world will begin to ask questions about the next life and so progress in understanding.

Calendar up later.

Have a beautiful week! Pause and enjoy the quiet moments of this season
