I am taking a course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Yesterday evening I couldn't get into the course, the button provided did not work and today is the same. I have reported the problem and been assured it is being looked into. At first I was frustrated, but where does that ever get you; so now I am seeing it as a much needed break from studying. This afternoon I have been shopping with a friend. Also we paid a much needed visit to the recycling centre where I off loaded an old microwave and my friend threw away old tins of paint. The empties were thrown away and the others were to be given to some centre for visually impaired people, we're not quite sure what for. We then went to the local supermarket and bought a few groceries. When we arrived back at my friend's house we went in for a cup of tea and were joined in the garden by an old friend of mine whom I had not seen for some time. Sometimes the simple pleasures are the best.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
