Is there anyone on the edges of your life that you are not really valuing, someone you think is o.k. but nothing special? A year ago I thought like that and helped out someone in trouble. Since then I have found that person to be a little goldmine,and spiritual comforter. I'm beginning to think I am getting more spiritual help from her than she does from me. So look out for someone like that in your life or you will be missing out too. What this world thinks of someone is not their true value. the world thinks education and wealth are the things that matter, but what really matters is a person's walk with Jesus. Someone who can cope and cope well when the world walks out on them is someone worth knowing. When the Lord guided me to help my friend He knew that it would be beneficial to both of us. At the time I guess I thought I was the magnanimous benefactor!!! But my Lord knew better. Who are you missing out on?
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
