A blast from the past

Today I met with a friend who was at university with me back in the late 60's.  We hadn't seen each other for about twenty years and if we had not seen our photos on Facebook we might not have recognised each other. She had her husband with her.  We spent a happy time reminiscing but more than that speaking about our lives today. I have another friend who went to school with me.  I see her about twice or three times a year.  We usually have lunch together. It is God who places people in our lives and for a purpose.  Often we don't know what that purpose is.  I have other friends who live in my village who went to school with me but I hardly ever see them.  I used to go to school reunions but couldn't help feeling that the really interesting people were too busy getting on with their lives to come! For instance a boy in our class went off to Hawaii to study marine biology.  I looked him up on the internet and he's still there.  I don't think he will come to a school reunion anytime soon.

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
