About

 Hello and welcome to Precious Thoughts 

My name is Elinor, and I write the Precious Thoughts' blog posts.  

Really, I prefer to think of myself as 'a pen' writing thoughts that God gives me - I trust - to encourage or help YOU.  

I have been a Christian since 7th September 2009 when the Lord Jesus spoke to my heart and filled me with His peace.

Prior to that I had been brought up in a Christian home with my six siblings and cannot remember a time when I did not hear about Jesus.  But it is only since 2009 that I have started to know Him personally.

Not long after I wanted to start a blog to share thoughts about Jesus which He gives, thoughts which are so precious, but it wasn't until 2020 that Precious Thoughts was launched with my first ever post, 'Give us this day our daily bread'.

Generally speaking the posts focus on a Bible verse that I believe the Lord has drawn my attention to.  Sometimes these include a narration on relevant events in my own life, or are disguised in a story.  

The end purpose is that we might come to know the Lord Jesus more, learn how we should live as Christians and serve God in those ways which He has shown, taught and led us to.

Readers (and listeners to the podcasts) will learn about the Bible, about God and sometimes be challenged, but mostly my hope is that fellow believers and those who are seeking Jesus (even if they don't realise it) will be encouraged and comforted.

Although I have not studied the Bible in an academic setting I have heard the Bible read and taught from an early age and continue to read my own daily.  The lessons I share are gleaned from what the Lord teaches me and opens my eyes to as I read and think. 

Currently I live in Surrey, UK, with my husband and our spoilt pet chicken.  When I am not managing the home, garden, visiting elderly family, or contributing to the upkeep and worship at our Christian services, I enjoy walking in the beautiful Surrey Hills and writing short stories for my many nieces and nephews.  (Soon to be available on Etsy).

Please enjoy browsing through the posts - there are now over 200!
