HI there,
How are you getting on?
Well it's a crazy time of the year, when the weather is supposed to be sunny, and people are all out buying Christmas presents.
And the songs are playing in the malls, and people are out for catching up, and socialising, which is fun.
How has the year been for you?
What have been some high lights for you this year?
I was talking to my friend, who had 3 amazing things happen this year.
She graduated, she got engaged, then she got married.
Perhaps you've moved out of home, to a different city, perhaps you've brought a home, and your well settled, perhaps you've got all your things sorted out for Christmas.
For me, when you get older, you don't want all the fuss, you don't want the competition, of who has the best present, and it does happen.
What do I want this year for Christmas? not much, it doesn't take me much to be happy.
Yes we have worries, yes we might be living on the minim wage, or on when as required contracts, yes we might want those good old days back, the days when everything was sunny, happy, everything just worked.
Life is precious my friends, I know, and that is the greatest gift of all time, yes you might be stuck in the middle, yes you might be too kind to your friends, yes you might just jolly well have plainly had enough, of people sucking you dry, but don't despite them, because it will eventually come back around.
You might not really know it, but you buying them that coffee or, drink or ice cream or treat, might have saved them money for a bus, or something else.
You might just be that link in peoples lives, that you don't see it now, but they will come back, and thank you.
And if you're wondering, at this time of year, ''can you be bothered?" well the answer is yes, it has to be, because if people, weren't bothered, there would be no jobs, no salary, and you wouldn't be around.
Jesus didn't give up on us, he didn't think for one moment' I can't be bothered today,'' he had it really hard, he lived with people who sort of believed, he hung out with the unexpected, people, the people you don't normally hang out with.
Imagine, if he wasn't bothered with the sermon on the mount?
Imagine if he wasn't bothered, with the women who suffered from hemorging for 12 years, she tried everything.
She had nothing left to live on.
When we live in despite times, we look at ourselves, and it makes us think, ''Right I have $20 this week, what is needed?"
And that is me.
And yet time and time again, Jesus is there, emotionally, physically and always provides, I've never been without blessing.
So if you're thinking are you stuck, in the middle and can't see a way out.
Praise God cause he will and can give you the rescue that you need.
Chloe
