Wings Over Scotland


Quiet time

Posted on July 10, 2012 by

Due to a family bereavement and attendant commitments, posts on Wings Over Scotland will probably be fairly sporadic for the rest of this week. We’ll do what we can, though, and full normal service should be resumed on Monday 16th.

17 to “Quiet time”

    You have my sympathies Rev, sometimes the realities of life intervene to let us know what is most important in life and that is family and freinds. Take time out and draw strength from the fact that people will be thinking of you and yours.

    I hope I’m not out of line when I post this but I read it some time ago and my mind always casts back to it in these situations. It had the tag as Hebrew Proverb
    “Say not in grief ‘he is no more’ but live in thankfulness that he was”

    Deepest condolences

    Kith and kin are always the most important. Sorry to hear of your loss and you take the time that you need.

    If anyone resents that they can do the other thing, you will be in our thoughts and, for some, prayers
