There is not in the world a way of life more sweet, nor more delightful than continual converse with God...If I were a preacher, I should preach nothing else but the practice of the presence of God

Anyone younger than me might have no clue who Thora Hird is, so for the uninitiated she was a northern comic actress very much present on UK TV screens during my childhood. She was also one of our most recognisable Christians, presenting Songs of Praise spin off Praise Be.
I remember watching an interview with Thora towards the end of her life, whilst she still lived independently. Her daily routine was a constant conversation with God, whether in formal prayer or searching for the sugar. I can't remember if I was attending church at this point, but I remember thinking that continual conversation was the sort of relationship I wanted with God.

Scripture
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
Ecclesiastes 3.1,6
