SUNDAY THOUGHT

 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12


This photograph of two Moorhens was taken at the Balloo Wood.
