I now have one and maybe you do too. It wasn’t my idea but it was a new idea to me. I gave it some thought, which chair should I use and where should it be. What purpose did I plan for it and where did I plan it to be. I became quite exited just thinking about it.
Firstly during warm weather it would be in the garden. I have a suitable table and chair which I can place in the sun or shade as I wish. But that is only for the summer months. For other times I chose one particular chair. It couldn’t be the armchair I use for watching television. Nor could it the one I sometimes had a rest in. The chosen chair was one which a friend had described as giving one a hug. I suppose it’s a smaller armchair than some and maybe her and my proportions are increasing. It is placed so that I can also look out at the garden which is so important to me. It will be used to commune and spend time with God. I might just sit and look at the flowers in the garden and birds and give thanks. I will have a suitable pen and Bible beside me; I might read a little or nothing. I might just sit and pray or not pray. There will be no set pattern or ‘must do’ things. No plans, no rules, only time spent with God.
