My Family and friends are so kind

When I first started to learn Russian, last year, my daughter was very supportive.  She looked up films in Russian with English subtitles and sent me the link to them.  Then she found someone on the internet who was offering to write a letter in Russian.  When I received the letter it was alarming as written Russian is quite different from the printed words.  I am only just beginning to use handwritten Russian, perhaps I could now reply to that letter. Next my son found me a keyboard with Russian characters.  He showed me how to tell my computer to accept the Russian alphabet.  This I can now do quite quickly.  Maybe I will write a post in Russian some time soon.  Before I have used Google translate to do this, but it is not very satisfactory.  In any case I want to improve my Russian.My friends are also very tolerant of my great enthusiasm for all things Russian, a special mention goes to the friend Hazel who is coming to Russia with me in the summer.

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
