Saddatical Chance to simply be blessed while bless others.


 When we holiday we love to see sites, meet people spend 3 hours eating out meals while we talk. Discovering value of encounters. Love to walk to places recommended or where may have visited before when last ventured.  Good thing to engage with new people forging friendships with foreigners who try becoming part of our sojourner.

All happened to myself plenty times. We escape perhaps events of heartache some trauma, bad experiance. Maybe not that dramatic it's still escape from all stuff of home environment.

What we forget is our mind takes a saddatical also sees new sites hearing different sounds .Of course the rhymes of life in different place reach us internally. Then we are inspired by the view others customs , others stories and our shared experience. Becomes inspiritunal. I find in all this journey the chance to simply be blessed while bless others. Not a perspective you read so clearly about in 'well thumbed' travel guides. But been my experience as supped conversations along with various cups of teas and few odd glass of Cisk.

Waiting for Summer to Hang....

The car drove down the vale of YORK as l headed to a garage looking for Oil change the morning started with long drawn out procedure of tablet taking. Then  saw this.

Saw this it was another sign from departed son. Just reminder to say on a day you've felt so close....
..."Hello Dad"....
The Buzzard this one younger seen it same route a few times and it is young so it circled upwards. As you taught me Matty passing on your wisdom but not out of view. .Value your encounters, Value the people, value the frustrations in near further distance relationships.Whose to know where your time here may go.?

I'm one of those people who sits waiting for Summer to hang, for Autumnal weather on warmest summer days. Like the darkness periods strangely already dreaming heading to Winter sun. 
It's been such busy period at time in my Life when should be downloading my presence still working on funny sorts of ways. So should express gratitude for the others who bless myself. 
So Faith football friendship and relationships, Gatherings and still learning. LIFE.

NOT HARD TO GRASP...

Odd times the first group get labelled and put into the next group.
Talking about the....

Thinkers and troublemakers. Especially in Church they both get grouped together then you often get slander. Like if person then questions authenticity of Bible, wrestle openly with scripture, your values are not at same platform as others would request. Yes request not require.

 Church is made up of people who like myself sometimes we don't function so well among others. Church can become a refuge till they gather enough understanding of encounters to move forward. Others find Church is now a power base for the views they hold. while they struggle with worshipful life's away from the gathering. Life reflects communities like Churches in mirrored ways.

Offensive degrading and lacks relevance to legislation that is supposed to governs our life's.

 Someone decided that a mayor in Manchester should be parachuted into parliament to become leader of this nuclear armed 7th richest country on Earth. Whose NHS issued a red heat-health alert for six regions of England. There are around 410 Socialist Labour MP’s who lets be very honest they should be ashamed this behaviour has been allowed to happen. Clearly the idea even some kind of concept alluding to parliamentary democracy is not evident , nor working, and is shameful.

ITS SAD HOW LOW WE HAVE SUNK.

How about this one Oxfordshire Council have won their High Court injunction to ban people putting flags up on own property plus on the street.

Anyone who puts up flags could face up to 2 years in *prison* or an unlimited fine. Now here the rub, this happened they imprisoned from same Authority a woman, single mum for not paying TV license. Further they imprisoned and again it was a single vulnerable lady for not paying fines for children non attendance at school. Some thing really stinks in the UK and l really do not see any sense in all of these issues.
it stinks makes me angry allows me no understanding of fairness nor justice nor any motion of correct behaviors.

when human governments begin to transgress God’s moral law and veer into wickedness, there are limits to the submission. Loosely that's from Titus 3

The Samaritans still has echos about better person to be.

 

The question came around to who is my neighbour but time also allowed to asking "What if neighbour not a good person". Perhaps that just distorted the image and was out of context in the setting.

It costly venture for the guy supplying rosehip paying hotel bills having skill base to apply dressing, leaving further financial support for hospitality shown. Community action is costly developing home to be hospitable is costly, supporting those who today are blighted in impoverished struggle they can't begin to escape from. It all costly, personally expensive but going to be blessed got to reach out and despite the cost of community.

So what's it costing you. Economically, health ways, values of Standing among family and friends. The reputable baggage of other you picking up.lack of leisurely pursuits with family. 

It do cost this community involvement, support the weakest. It not a 'warm blanket and disappear to your home' ministry. Community involvement do cost.

Oh yeah good morning.

So 1 in 4 young people are getting Strokes due to vaping. Vaping and drugs contained are creating Psychosis in school kids. Vapes confiscated are laced with lethal spice drugs. This disturbing worrying trend of kids vaping is also anti social Some schools have Vape alarms to monitor the concerns.

Wide spread evidence that this dirty and disgusting trend is damaging young people, many who are underage yet still experiencing the issue anyway.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
