Jen has posted here some thoughts about the Harvest Festival at her boys’ school, and also linked to this Red Cross Video. Many of us [myself included] have been muttering about the rising price of corned beef etc – but let’s get things into perspective – if I am sitting at a PC typing this, with a roof over my head and food in my belly, I am rich [and so are you, dear reader]
Dear friends, do you think you'll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, "Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!" and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup—where does that get you? Isn't it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense?
[James 2:16,17 from The Message]
We are rich, you are so right Angela.

we are indeed very rich if our bellies are full and we have a roof over our head, I agree.

God is so good to us each day and then why are we so picky about our food we have? God knows what is best for each of us.
