Little Troubles and Big Troubles





In Britain June is teasing us this year,
With winds quite cold and dripping rain some days;
Then brightly shines the sun with teasing jeer,
So that our plans are at the whim of the sun’s rays.

Some days white, fluffy clouds adorn the blue.
But then grey skies sweep in to cool us down.
Our promised light evenings do not come on cue
And our disappointment makes us to frown.

But in England is a very pleasant life
And migrants clamour to come here to flee
The garishness of their life where poverty is rife.
Afric’s wound bleeds across the Middle Sea

Disgorging folk like you and me no less
Into reluctant arms with no redress.

It is well known that the English love to moan about our weather.  This poem began in that mode but then turned to the plight of migrants who are risking all to find a better life in Europe in general and Britain in particular.  This is becoming a problem of huge proportions and is already causing great concern in places such as Greece which have enough problems already.  It is no good putting our heads in the sand the problem must be dealt with.  There needs to be a European action and U.N. action.  That is what they are there for.  Why the delay?

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
