Sandra’s Soliloquy
Dear Friends
How are you? Have you been enjoying the sight of the many daffodils at the roadside?
I have nothing specific to say. I have had quite a number of days resting in bed, surprising myself sleeping for many hours during the day, and still sleeping at night. I enjoyed time in the evening with some of my family on Mother’s Day, which is enough for me, but was given cards and gifts, for which I am very grateful. We enjoy giving gifts at different times during the year and in life.
I’m very grateful for the gift of life that God has given me, and the gift that is His Son, Jesus Christ, which we remember through this period of Lent. Jesus is the gift that keeps on giving.
‘If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously.’ Romans 12:8 (NLT)
‘Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.’ Proverbs 19:17 (NIV)
We don’t give things to be rewarded, but the actual giving generally makes us feel good
Lord, we thank you for our lives and all that we have and all that we are. Please help us during this time of Lent to draw closer to you. Guide us along the right path and bring others alongside. We pray that local people will be touched by the Easter message and seek out services. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen
Please share comments and any prayers.
Have a good week everyone. God Bless-Sandra x
