'Alright, sunshine?

Well, I, for one, am compelled to mention it. I'm drawn to it like a magnet to a pin especially as, I know, no one is else is likely to cover it because, well, it's not news.

Well, maybe not but...

Here I'm just sitting in my study staring at the glorious bright greenery in my garden. There is something almost divine, almost magical about this moment as if I'm touching something close to contentment.

It's just an extraordinary time - not even 8am as I write this. And I can't help feeling a sense of promise or hope in the air.

Outside it's just so peaceful only the intermittent sound of the birds piercing the silence, giving the air a sense of serenity and tranquillity.

It's just a perfect English summer's day- not uncomfortably hot, not uncomfortably cold. Just perfect...

With the disaster in Burma this weekend where thousands of people have perished - and hundreds of thosands who have been left without homes - perhaps we should count out blessings and consider how fortunate we are to experience such godly beauty. And perhaps we can also spare a thought for those Burmese whose sense of home and family has been shaken to smithereens.

But here, today - or for the moment at least - it's perfection personified where a prayer will utter itself automatically. Enjoy and make the most of it!
