Monday, June 21, 2004 Bringing Jesus to peopleGary, I enjoyed your thoughts on Eccl. Thank you.You asked: +++++How do we bring Jesus to people? My answers is kindness, patience, friendliness, invitiations to church, helping, giving food when sick, spending time, encouraging, complimenting, showing an interest. God bless and tell me your thoughts.+++++ Good thoughts there. I have a little prayer that I try and read and think about most days, and the children have it taped on their walls beside their beds. I think even if they don't read it daily as such, by being there it is going into their minds unconsciously. I feel it covers the main issues of what we are talking about and sometimes as I think of the words in this prayer, it can take a long time to cover. I notice that since praying these words, or similar, the marks you mentioned Gary, are becoming more part of me. (Still a long way to go, though!!) I know Jesus spoke about "vain repetition" but my thoughts here are, we can repeat, as long as it isn't without meaning. Yes, I feel happy about the repeating thing, but if I find I have said the words without thinking about them, then they have become vain to both God and myself. Here are the words: (having been adapted for the children to a certain extent!) Let go of yesterday Let go of tomorrow Concentrate on the present moment Help me Love those I care about, and those I don't care about! Please connect me to the Spirit of God (think about that as you say it!) Please lead me where I need to go today Please show me what I need to know for today Please tell me what I need to do today Tell me who I can pray for today Help me to be in the right place at the right time. Thank you, Lord. I love you. Amen # posted by Caroline @ 11:34 am 0 comments
