A MESSAGE FROM PHIL
LIVE, LOOK, LISTEN
Jesus is always wanting to give us gifts. He wants us to have what is best for us, which is abundant life here and for eternity. Years ago I heard a little bit from an interview with a just retired international lawyer. He was 97 and very much still alive. There are many prayers we can pray at the start of the day. Sometimes we need one like, "Lord, help me to live today and not just exist." How we respond to the day is much more of a conscious decision than we are ready to admit.
Part of living is looking and thinking about what we see. The NHS has plenty wrong with it and we see that very quickly. We are much slower to see the armies of good folks that work for it. Let's try not to be overwhelmed by the constant barrage of gloom but look for the good.
One gift we are more inclined to give when we live and not just exist is the gift of listening. It can give people a pleasant shock. We can learn things, especially when we listen to God. It creates and nurtures relationships and "relationships are real."
