Photo was taken in the Bay Of Gibraltar

With winter very much upon us at the moment this photo brings back memories of beautiful summer sunshine! The Bay Of Gibraltar is home to lots of dolphins because of a plentiful supply of fish and clean warm water.

‘Sometimes people describe their frustration and discouragement in terms of being trapped in closed circuits with no escape. We often speak of going round in circles.’ ~Conor Cunningham

The experience of going round in circles is universal. Life can become predictable and routine for many people. We like routine. We have to make a deliberate effort to do something different outside of routine. Perhaps we’re going around in circles because we feel there’s nothing left. We may be feeling guilty, lonely, hurt, misled, misunderstood and upset by something we have done or by something done to us. God has a completely different viewpoint to ours. The invitation always is to step outside any closed circle and to begin to walk the journey of life again. God always wants to shower us with blessings, including peace, love, reassurance, guidance and enthusiasm. These blessings are extended to us within any closed circle but take much more effect when we are willing to step out of that circle and begin to live again.
