Red Square

Our guide told us a few things about Red Square and then we were free to wander.  We always felt totally safe in Russia.  Although there was some talk of pick pockets we never experienced this. I guess there is greater danger of those in London. My friend took lots of pictures, some of the "Christmas" trees against the red walls of the Kremlin, some of St Basil's and some of the museum next to Gym(goom) the big expensive shop in a corner of Red Square.  We browsed here noting Versace and Armani.  But all we bought was a box of chocolates to share with our friends back home. Later when we were home again in Britain we saw a programme about the super rich in Russia and included was the lady who is CEO for Gym.  It's another life but I suspect I am the happier, with my one adventure in foreign travel. I appreciate it highly and have no sense of being jaded by a surfeit of experiences.

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
