Southbank Solitude

We all need moments of relaxation and opportunities to recharge our energy levels. Following the 'hustle and bustle' of the Advent and Christmas seasons and 'get up and go' of welcoming in the New Year, today offered us the much-needed chance to simply slow down somewhat and enjoy some solitude together.

Throwing caution to the wind, I made a rash yet rare decision to travel on public transport to the city with my wife for what was a most enjoyable evening 'down by the riverside'.

Southbank is a 'scenic solace' offering fine cuisine, relaxed riverside routes and a re-energizing environment. It was certainly a great way to start 2009!
Giving ourselves permission to enjoy moments of solitude is vital to one and all. Personal recharge opportunities compliment spiritual ministry more than we can imagine.

Job 11:13 (MSG) ~ "Full of hope, you'll relax, confident again; you'll look around, sit back, and take it easy. Expansive, without a care in the world, you'll be hunted out by many for your blessing."
