Minister letterDear Friends
At a recent service I posed the question ‘you haven’t lived until……..? This was based on a radio quiz on the Heart FM breakfast show and I invited people during the service to text in the blanks. My first surprise was how many people had mobile phones with them in Church and because there was not sufficient time to read out all the text messages in the service I promised to publicise them in Contact so here goes. ‘You haven’t lived until ……..
It was good to welcome the St. Thomas Air Cadets to the service on that day and some of the text included their presence as also the Guides. The responses say something about our level of understanding of the question. Those particularly younger ones took it fairly literally about needing food to eat and air to breath others took it factually like bungee jumping or riding a horse and others more metaphorically.
I would want to say that you have not really lived until you have discovered the love of God and his forgiveness. Many people carry burdens in life of unresolved guilt or a lack of love. God sets us free to be ourselves and enjoy life in all its fullness. Your friend and Minister - David |
