Where shall we go today, with our new-found freedom? Weather, public transport, age, mobility, availability of ‘facilities’ may all have an impact on our answer, but we have the freedom to travel (almost) anywhere. The restrictions of the last few months reminded us of a freedom we usually take for granted. For reasons of health or mobility some people here cannot get out and about. Also, there are many people round the world who do not have that kind of freedom. Instead of just thinking about what we can or cannot do, let’s think about them today
Lord, as we begin to exercise our freedom to roam, help us to remember those who cannot travel here because of reasons of health, mobility etc, and those in other countries whose movements are restricted by governments
