Passports sorted, what next?

We decided to go away for the weekend to see how we got on with important things like snoring!! In lots of ways the weekend was a disaster, but we got on well with each other and the snoring from both of us was moderate.  We spent Saturday afternoon in Bath at the Christmas Fair.  It was crowded and rainy.  I bought a wooden puzzle of Britain for my grandson and my friend bought a jar of pickle.  The rain got worse and we decided to go into the Abbey.  It seemed that everyone had the same idea.  We filled the Abbey where a carol service was just beginning. We made our soggy way back to the bus stop but had to wait for our coach to come.  We drove for an hour to an hotel.  This was fine for the night but breakfast was a shambles and we missed out on toast.  Next we journeyed to the Cotswolds which was fine.  When we arrived at our home bus stop we thought our problems were over but the taxi took us several miles out of our way before we were able to put him right.  We were meant to go to Heathfield, Honiton and he was taking us to Newton Abbot. It was a problemtical weekend but it proved we could stay friends in those conditions.

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
