FRUIT

 What types do you have?

 There are many
different types of
fruit to be tasted.

Some fruits have a sweet
taste to them and others can
taste slightly sour, and others
are what you may call
an acquired taste.

With each fruit it is
down to personal taste
as to whether the 
individual likes the
taste of the fruit or not.

But sometimes we know
that we need to eat some
types of fruit that we may
not necessarily enjoy.

This is simply because 
we know that despite our
dislike of the taste of the 
fruit, it has benefits for us.

Many fruits are
good for us and so
we realise that each day
we should eat a certain amount.

As Christians we also have fruits
within our lives.
These come by our
lives and how we chose to live.

But are they pleasant to
God? We can produce
fruit within our lives which
both honour and dishonour God.

These fruits can be seen
within us and by how we live,
by God and also by others
around us who see our lives
and our choices, though God sees all.

The fruits that are good for
us to show,always have benefits
within our lives, though they
make take time
to produce.

God is patient as he
waits for these fruits to grow,
he also helps them to grow
as we seek these fruits within
our lives as well.

So let us seek to
produce and show the fruits
that God wishes us to have;
the more we desire to have these
then the more they will come.

Listening

 Do people always listen?  One thing that is certain is that people want to be heard. We all want people to listen to what we have to say, whether they are someone that we know well or not. There can of course be many different topics of conversation,  dependant upon your listeners one subject may be more interesting than another to some. But sometimes when an individual is talking, they can tell that the one they are speaking to is not really listening. It could be that they may have other things upon their minds at that time or it could be that they just are not interested in what is said. Within the Church though, can this or does this happen?  When we speak to other Christians within the Church to which we belong, we should expect them to listen. Also we should also ourselves be prepared to listen to  what people say, it may be that they have a need of either advice or just some...

Something New

 Do you try anything new?  When a thing is new, it holds interest and can catch the attention of many. Whereas, when something is not new it needs sometimes a new way of doing it, something that will catch peoples' attention once again. What new things catch your attention? This can  be different for many people, a s people have different  interests, likes and dislikes. For some it can be a new car, for others it can be a new house, or possibly  for some it could be a new job. It may also be a new type of food which you have never tasted before, or a new hobby. Perhaps a new television or computer that comes out catches your attention, o r a new film or song that has been released.  Within the Church there can be new things, but also sometimes it can appear that there has not been anything new for some time. It is of course important to bring new things and ideas into the Chu...

Freedom

Freedom in our lives. When we think of freedom what comes to mind?     Do we think of those imprisoned?  Do we think of Freedom of choice? Do we think of Freedom of speech? Do we think of Freedom in and from troubles? Do we think of Freedom from debt? Do we think of Freedom from sin? Do we think of Freedom in Christ? There are perhaps many different things that come to mind in what many would consider as our day to day living, and also within our Christian walk. However, the two really are one, as our whole life is a walk with God. But Freedom is something that for many is elusive.  In one or more of the things mentioned, whether through circumstances or choices made by us or others for us, in jobs, in family, in Government and many more. So how do we live in Freedom completely in our lives? The simple fact is we cannot, due to many reasons; due to sin, mans' desires, circumstances made by our choices or ...
