I’m not perfect





Today has been very busy, I’ve had to juggle several things. I helped out a friend this morning which was easy because it just meant travelling down some pretty country lanes in glorious sunshine, popping to the village that has a petrol pump or two and then going for coffee at a garden centre.  On our return we watered the plant pots my friend had planted a couple of weeks ago. In the afternoon I played indoor bowls for two hours and promised to check arrangements for a match tomorrow when I got home.  This is where less than perfect came in.  I promptly forgot about the match.  I went in to watch T.V with my friend.  We particularly wanted to view “Tribe” about Ethiopians still living in huts.  It is fascinating to see how like us they are, which does not surprise me, people are people.  This programme showed a teenage girl acting up.  The young people there had all got mobile phones but had to go to town to recharge them. All this fascinating stuff had kept my mind away from bowls match, but when I came in to my flat there was a message on my phone and I immediately knew it was reminding me about the match.  Although it was late, 10 o’clock, I rang the other team and found that all was arranged and we could expect just the right number of people tomorrow.  I rang the friend who wanted to know the numbers but she had obviously gone to bed, so I left a message on her phone for the morning.  I hope I didn’t wake her. So I’m not perfect, I don’t remember everything, but all turned out well, such is the goodness of God.

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
