Beginning

 How many beginnings do you have?

 We all have a
beginning in our life,
but how many do
we have throughout our
entire lives?

There can be more than
one beginning within
our lives; we have the
first beginning of being 
conceived, then of
course being born.

We experience so many
beginnings, most of which
we realise as such, some we
may not.

With some beginnings there can
be an anticipation or a certain
level of expectation for 
the start of whatever it may be.

It can be the beginning of any
level of education, or possibly
the beginning of a new
career or business prospect.
It may just be the beginning of
a new book you have been waiting
to read or a film you wanted to see.

Within the Church there are
also beginnings; there can
be the beginning of a new 
event that has been 
planned for some time.

We as Christians also had a
second beginning when
we became a Christian. This
for us is the most 
important and significant 
beginning within our
lives.

This was the beginning
of our eternal relationship
with God, within
this we find and will
continue to experience new
beginnings.

There will always be
new beginnings for us in
our walk with him,
and in our work for and
with him.

There will always
be new beginnings in
our life with God,
it is what we do with
them and how we accept them.

Sometimes God wants us
to do something we 
do not feel ready for or
nervous about, yet
we need to have faith,
trust and hope in him, not
just in ourselves.

Because in all the
beginnings we will
experience in our lives,
whatever they may be,
he will be with us in and
through them all.

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 ...

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...
