Kindness.........

The dictionary explanation of this word is the state, quality, or habit of being kind or a kind act or kindly treatment

Roy Crowne spoke at our church on Sunday and said simple evangelism is kindness. He said be kind to people, be that little part of Jesus they see. He said its always grace before truth. Do one kind act a day. Random kindness, any act of kindness, it doesn't matter what - just do it!

Tonight I spent some time with some truly beautiful people praying for healing - physical, emotional and spiritual healing for lots of people. While clinging on to this amazing Lady's hand it dawned on me the true meaning of kindness.

I was truly petrified of going tonight, for no valid reason I might add, but I was so scared. But beside me and with me I had the most loving people any person could ask for. Their abounding love, compassion and selflessness shone from them. They prayed for me, for my family, for each other. They embraced each other, held each others hands, smiled at each other. They felt each others pain, they tried to ease one anothers pain. They listened.

That was pure kindness.

Christmas is approaching........

Today we put up the church Christmas decorations which was so comical, we had such a giggle and really enjoyed ourselves. It wasn't until I got home that it sank in - it is almost Christmas. Can you believe that we are already in December? Chris and I led our last youth cell till 2008 this evening and it was hilarious with the kids. They are just the greatest bunch of young people anyway, but playing games such as twister with them was just side splitting! Talking to them about Christmas and this time of year was just so thought provoking, they say what the usual teenagers say (actually what the majority of people say!) how they're looking forward to the food, presents and dressing up, on the other hand just simple comments like 'I am looking forward to the carol service', 'I am looking forward to spending time with my family' and 'I am looking forward to spending time away from the commercial Christmas' (how huge is that for a 13 year old to say!!!)

2 Corinthians 4:16-18........

This is the reason we do not give up. Our human body is wearing out. But our spirits are getting stronger every day. The little troubles we suffer now for a short time are making us ready for the great things God is going to give us forever. We do not look at the things that can be seen. We look at the things that cannot be seen. The things that can be seen will come to an end. But the things that cannot be seen will last forever. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (New Life Version)

Emma Bearfoot.......

Tonight I am really sad, a good friend of mine from the Royal Brompton died very suddenly yesterday. I went back and read her blog this evening and it really moved me. Do people know if they are going to die? Although she has been unwell, Emma had a heart attack so no one actually could have predicted her passing, yet her last blog talks about life and death, and how you must make the most of life while you have it. It is so moving when re-reading it now she has gone. Even though I have known her for a few years, I never knew she had a blog until I received a comment on mine a couple of months ago. Apparently I touched her because she yearned for a faith and a relationship with Christ, but did not know how to possess one. We have shared some awesome email conversations about life and Jesus. My prayer tonight is she found what she was so desperately longing for...
