Helpfulness

 How helpful are you?

 This is something which
perhaps you will have been
at times and also
seen in others.

Within peoples lives there
perhaps are many possible
opportunities to be helpful
in one way or another.

 It can be something that
requires an amount of
time or effort by the one
who helps, or it can
just be a very quick and
perhaps much needed help.

Whether it is helping
someone to carry or lift, or
giving someone a lift in
your car.

Or if it is just spending
time with someone that
needs company.

Or giving of an amount
of money to someone
who is struggling to
get by.

As Christians we should
always be prepared
to be helpful, even to
those who we do not
like or think deserve it.

To be helpful to those
that we love and like is
always easier than to
those that we do not.

Though it is also good
to offer help to all,
regardless of our
feelings or thoughts
towards them.

But to help those who
naturally we would struggle
to do so, is to show the love
of God in a far greater way.

Within the Church there
will always arise opportunities 
for you to be helpful to either
an individual or also with
an event of some kind.

Let us then when a
time arises for us to be 
helpful, always be willing to
do so, then we will be
showing to others,
the love of God within us.

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...
