Have a little Patience

 How Patient are we?

  That is a question which 
many people perhaps would not 
like to either answer, 
or to speak the full truth of.  

Because sometimes we can 
all be impatient, and 
our patience then most 
definitely does not show.

We can all have limited 
patience with different things. 
What one individual struggles 
with, another will not. 


We of course can be, show and 
do have patience with many things, 
yet there always is a 
limit for each individual to where 
this patience runs out.


We can be impatient with others, 
we can be impatient with work, 
we can be impatient with how 
long something is taking. 
We can be impatient with ourselves.

We can also be impatient with God;  
when we pray we want and 
perhaps even expect an 
immediate response or 
answer to our prayers and 
when this does not happen, 
again our patience does not show.

We can be slightly impatient 
when we are working for God 
in whatever form this may take. 
We can be both patiently or 
impatiently waiting for it to 
move forwards in the 
way we had hoped.

God however has a far 
greater patience level in all 
things and ways than we do. 
He wants us learn daily to 
show more patience with 
others and also in him.

So let us seek to give just that
little extra patience
each day in all ways and 
in all things, 
as this will always 
help ourselves and 
others and also it 
honours God.

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...

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 ...

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...
