At the beach

“We listen!” it says at the bottom of the flyer, and I am wide awake.

The flyer is all about the “Parent helpline.”

I notice also that the “Parent helpline”  is advertised on a bigger advertising leaflet together with other services.

Other services of interest to me are the services that answer the following questions:

“NOT COPING WITH LOSS OR LIFE?”

“CONFUSED ABOUT WHO YOU ARE OR FITTING IN?”

“CONFUSED ABOUT YOUR FUTURE?”

Fifteen questions I find on the flyer on one side and on the other side there must be more than one hundred organisations one can talk to. Fifteen times I read also: “You can talk to: …”

It is good to know that we can talk to PEOPLE and that they are saying that they are listening.

I have learned to pray (“‘Prayer is talking with Jesus'”) to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST about my life, about who I am and about my future. I know that the Lord is listening to me and he is also speaking to me through his Word, the Bible.

THE CROSS

“‘If only you had paid attention

Isaiah 48:18,19

Intr.:

to my commands,

A.  your peace would have been like a river,

B  your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

C.  Your descendants would have been like the sand,

D.  your children like its numberless grains;

a.  their name would never be cut off

b.  nor destroyed from before me.'”

End:

The Cross

“‘REMEMBER,

 Isaiah 38:3

Intr.:

O LORD,

1. HOW I HAVE WALKED BEFORE YOU FAITHFULLY AND
2. WITH WHOLEHEARTED  DEVOTION AND
3. HAVE DONE WHAT IS GOOD IN YOUR EYES.’

End:

AND HEZEKIAH WEPT BITTERLY.”
