Today’s thought is by Augustine
A man may lose the good things of this life against his will; but if he loses the eternal blessings, he does so with his own consent. – Augustine
Grant us, O God, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what you would have us do, that the spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in your light we may see light, and in your path we may not stumble; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
William Reed Huntingdon (1838-1909)
Heavenly Father, we give thanks for that vision which inspired Thomas Telford and others to build the bridges that helped communities to grow and society to develop. Help us, as we face the challenges of today, to keep faith in your Son, who spanned the gap between heaven and earth, and so to build bridges instead of walls in our broken world, for the sake of your kingdom. Amen.
