Gosh!!
Where has time gone!!!
It seemed only a couple of weeks ago it was Christmas and New Year.
Did you make any New Year resolutions?
If so, have you managed to keep them?
Here we are at the beginning of March in the season of Lent looking at Easter at the beginning of April and I’ve been trying to stop snacking between meals. Needless to say, I’ve not been that good at it. I do have a weakness for Snickers, (Marathons as they used to be called) and American Hard Gums. So, in the words of Borg on Star Trek “Resistance is futile”.
But I have found, that if I truly want to,I can avoid eating them, then I can achieve my target.
The thing is, I must truly want to succeed, to achieve losing a bit of weight.
In Holy Week, the week before Easter, we follow the story of Christ’s journey to the cross where He died for us. I think of how determined Christ must have been as He could, at any time, have given up his journey but He did not give in. He knew that in order for us to truly to be forgiven, He had to die for our sins.
What a Man!!
If he hadn’t died Christianity would not exist and I wonder what our world would be like?
Would society be a less caring world, a world of greed, and selfishness? Survival of the fittest?
Well, thankfully He did follow through with his mission, with God , his father at the Centre.
We all of us can make a difference to this world as well but to do that we must truly want to.
I ask myself this question.
Am I prepared to change my life for the better, that will help others?
In Baptism we ask the question:
Do you turn away from sin and do you reject evil?
The answer is:
With God’s Help I Will.
If we ask God to help us, we can all make a difference to our world and make it a better place.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Yours
