Friends

 Do we have many True Friends?

 Friends are something
that we may have
many of within
our lives.

But how many of the
friends that we have
throughout our lives can
we truly say are what
we can call true friends
or close friends.

Children at an early
age make friends, usually
quite easily, then just
as easily they say that
they are not friends with
one of those other children.

Older children sometimes
have slightly fewer friends, 
some have more some have
less. 

Then as adults we generally
are far more careful
with those who we really
consider to be friends. 

How many of the friends 
that you have known 
throughout your life can
you truly say that you can
trust with anything, 
whether it be a task
or even a secret?

Popularity in life
tends to bring more friends
to an individual, but are
they actually real friends?

Within the church we may
find that there are some 
that we are closer to than
others.

But even with those
within the church, are there
many that we would trust
completely with anything?

How easily do we find
it, even in the church,
to sometimes allow
others to get close to us?

The people within the 
church are just like us,
they are human, they have
strengths and weaknesses,
they have belief, faith and
trust in God.

Our closest friend that we
should have and know is
of course God. But even
then though he is
completely trustworthy and 
reliable, do we always treat
him as our closest true friend?
We obviously should, but 
sometimes do not. 

We need to accept that
God is everything that a true 
friend can be.

So let us within our
lives be willing to both 
give and accept friends, 
to be there to help and encourage.

It could be that the friendship 
of God can be seen through
your actions and speech to another.

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 ...

There's never enough TIME

 Where does time go?  One of the things that we  can always be certain of in life,  is that time passes.  Time doesn't always pass  in the way we want.  Why is that time seems to  at times pass very quickly,  yet at other times it goes  very slowly?  Usually this is because  during those times when  time seems to drag we are  perhaps doing something which  we do not enjoy or is monotonous.   Whereas upon other occasions  when time races away from us  is usually when we want something  to last longer and so because of this  it seems to go quickly.  Within church events and church life  this can also and very often is the case.  There can be things that need to be  done which we ourselves and  many others do not wish to do.  With this we either avoid doing them  or if we do actually decide to ...

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...
