I read this anecdote in a German Book:

A mocker met a child. “What are you doing?” he asked. The child answered,” I am thinking about God.” The atheist took an apple out of his pocket,” I am going to give your this apple, if you tell me where God is.” The child took two apples out of his pocket, “I am going to give you these two apples, if you tell me where God not is.”

A clever child!

I read in a leaflet about WALKING “Whoever said the best things in life are free could easily have been a walker. Walking is fun, healthy and easy on your bank balance.”

Whoever said the best things in life are free could easily have been a believer.

I would also say the best things in life are free, or rather the best thing in life is free. The very best thing in life is SALVATION and SALVATION is FREE!

Romans 6:23

” For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Ephesians 2:8

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God – “

I really enjoyed the seminar called “Healthy Homes” today at the Union Church in Kaitaia. I learned a lot and I hope I remember what I learned. And I enjoyed it not only because I received a concession ticket for bus rides worth $45.00. I answered half a question correctly. ( On that concession ticket I can BusaboutKaitaia – Five return trips to Mangonui or five return trips to Pukenui.)

It was all about insulating homes, insulating the ceiling, the floor and the water heater. Good insulation of a home improves the physical health of the occupants, and saves also money.

The seminar ended with afternoon tea.

After the meeting I attended to some more of my business in town. While doing that I told two people I met about the $45.00 bus ticket. All of a sudden it hit me that I told about the bus ticket without hesitation. I rejoiced about it – it was good news.

But there is greater news. The greatest news is that the Lord Jesu Christ died for sinners. Am I also so eager to tell about this Greatest News as I am keen to tell about the winning of the bus ticket?

“HEALTHY HOMES!”

Of course, we want healthy homes. Who does not want a healthy home? But I think a home is really healthy, when all the occupants can say with all their hearts ” BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.” Joshua 24:15 Joshua said that.That is spiritual health!

I know a home in Kaikohe, where this Bible verse is hanging on the wall in one of the rooms.
