“Caring for our community,” and “Dedicated to looking after you,” I am reading on the small paper bag I received at the Pharmacy with my medicine inside.

The Lost Sheep

That the Lord Jesus Christ cares for me teaches the Bible. (N.T.) The same verse in the Bible tells me also to cast all my anxious thoughts on him.

I am a sheep of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Bible (O.T.) I read, that the Lord Jesus Christ is looking after me. He is my shepherd.

The small paper bag including the words on it will pass away, but the promises of the Lord will never pass away.

First Peter 5:7; Ezekiel 34:11,12; Matthew 24:35

“Read this leaflet carefully before using [name of medicine],” and “Keep this leaflet for future reference.”

That’s how leaflets usually begin you find enclosed in medicine packages.

I would like to say, “Read the Bible carefully before using your life.” That’s where the parents come in. The parents must teach their children the word of God.

I would als like to say, “Keep the Bible for the rest of your life and read it.”

Relationships again.

In the paper (Northern News, July 27, 2016),  I am told about a couple celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. What is the secret of reaching the special milestone?

FIVE THINGS:

1. They shared everything.
2. They had no secrets.
3. They did everything together.
4. They were great friends.
5. They got on well together.

The milestone is also called the blue sapphire anniversary.

What can I (you) learn from this relationship?

Soup & Bread

“SOAP, SOUP, SALVATION”

I have been told that’s how William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army reached the people.

I don’t think England was a Welfare State at that time; but New Zealand is a Welfare State and I think now it should be:

SALVATION – SOUP AND SOAP.

In their own publication it says that “The Salvation Army is often described as simply a ‘charity,'” and “Many people are surprised to find that The Salvation Army is a Christian church and not solely a social services provider.”
