March is flying.......and it's only just started!
I'm still thinking about time. With time being todays's valuable comodity, what are we doing with it. I guess like most of us I am guilty of wasting time.
Nearly eight years ago Crawford and Jenny arrived with us to take up the reins of the ministry here. All of a sudden the time is all to fast approaching when they will leave us to take up this mysterious thing called retirement. It is good to look back and reflect on the time they have had with us and to give thanks for what God has done through them here at WBC. Time is a something that cannot be given a specific value. It's a linear thing that is totally unique. Just think for one moment. Gosh!....that moment was what I call virgin time. A bit like the virgin snow of my youth. Waking up and going out into the garden and seeing snow with no marks on it. Time is just like that. Every second of every day is brand new. Untouched by anyone else, and what you do with that time is up to you. When that second passes......it's gone and the clock can't be turned back to re-run it of you think you got it wrong.
In today's generation of computer games, if you get it wrong, you can r e-run the scene until you overcome the baddie and you become the hero of the day.
Sadly, life is just like time. Life is real time. We live every day one second at a time, and it's important that we do our best to use that time wisely. The time we have:
- Each day
- Each week
- Each month
- Each year
- Each life
Is a very special gift from a very special person. It is given by God to someone He believes is very special and very valuable.
YOU!
God placed the highest possible value on you. He gave a life for you, but he gave that life with a purpose in mind. He has set you aside to fulfill the plans that he has for you. As his child you have been given a huge responsibility. You are the body of Christ on this aching earth. It's your task to reflect God's love and compassion on earth.
What are you doing about it?
What do you want to do about it?
Start by sharing with the leadership team so that we can pray with you and for you. We want to help you fulfill the plans that God has for you. Over the last eight years God has used Crawford to open up and release giftings within the fellowship. This will see us in good stead as we start the process of preparing to find a new pastor. We want Crawford and Jenny's legacy to be one that carries on. So we w ant all of you to play your full part in this process.
If you want help, all you need to do is ask. |
