It is the time of year when I hear the message on the answerphone ‘I am on leave at present. Please try someone else in my absence.’ However, I suspect that most of us are not planning to go abroad. So we talk about staycations. Does this just mean that instead of going abroad we are taking a holiday in this country? Strictly speaking holiday we had planned and longed for I am not sure that this is a staycation. was suddenly interrupted by a crowd of On the other hand, if we do simply stay at people who needed attention. If we are home but take a holiday from our normal honest it might be irritation, even anger. tasks this is a staycation. It has its However, Jesus responds differently. How advantages.

On the other hand, we happens with good plans this one does may feel like Jesus and His disciples, not work out. For the crowds spot what pursued by one person or another and not Jesus and the disciples are doing. So when given the chance for a proper break. But they land at their deserted place they find whatever our circumstances we can find it instead full of people. These people had strength as we look to God and we can worked out what Jesus and His disciples ask that we might share the compassion, were doing and had hurried along ahead. grace and mercy which Jesus showed even at times of great personal pressure. The crowds did not care in the least for the needs of Jesus and His disciples. I wonder what our response would be if the 3 Galhampton Village Hall A very attractive brand new hall with excellent facilities. Main hall, meeting room and consulting room available.
