June

It's good when June turns out like this, lovely sun, blue skies and a cool breeze. It makes you thankful. It is amazing how a bit of sunshine really lifts our spirits. Though a grey day can be very restful. The sun makes us want to be up and doing like the animals in The Wind in the Willows. I've had a good day, short mat indoor bowling at 10 a.m. followed by lunch. Then I tackled the assignment of unit 12 of Faith and Worship, the course I'm doing to become a local preacher with the Methodist Church. When I start these assignments I feel as if I will never master them, but so far I always have so I take comfort from the previous one. Unit 11 was a terror to get to grips with but now is happily in the past. I also played piano with a youngster and then did my shopping in the town near where she lives. Back home to meet a friend and then more of unit 12. A very satisfying day. What was your day like, do tell me?

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
