Today is officially Armistice day when we remember all those who have given their lives in the pursuit of Peace since World War One This was commemorated across the UK yesterday and will also be observed today. Armistice day was borne out of the prelude to Peace talks on November 11th at 11am in 1918 as World War 1 came to a close.

Many say in todays world that they do not believe in war, but this is not a celebration of war. This is remembering those who since that first Great War and all the conflicts since, have made the ultimate sacrifice, that we could walk around in a relative freedom that some will; never know on this earth plane. It is important to remember all those young lads and then women in more recent conflicts, and maybe humankind at some point will learn something.

Yesterday in Chawton we had our Remembrance Service in Chawton and Kevin Trefry came to visit. Kevin gave a lovely address as he shared his thoughts and gave practical ideas for sharing our love in our every day life. He then brought our messages. Thank you so much Kevin. We loved having you!!

We had lovely prayers and readings from the family, and Ken read ‘The Charge’ which was very poignant. Thanks to another wonderful cake creation by Carole, hospitality, Lisa on music, our healers on hand afterwards and all those who set up and break down the evening!!

Prayer of the week.

In view of this remembrance time, let us pray for Peace in this world of constant conflict.

Calendar up later.

Have a beautiful week as the temps dip down. Wrap up. It’s getting chilly..
