The children of this world are more astute.
In dealing with their own kind than are the children of light.
Indeed our problems may be  acute.
But we must keep the Lord in sight.
I was listening to a colleague on a tour.
And what prompted her to enter politics at some stage.
It was to become a parish councillor.
It was to build a playground in her village.
The other parish councillors wanted to clean the cemetery headstone.
She said let’s look after not the dead but the living.
After all they have not already flown.
How local, positive and refreshing.
How we start something for ourself.
Says a lot about ourself.
…….
How we start something
Says a whole lot on motive
And about ourself
…..
See Luke 16: 1-8
