There are successful relationships and there are relationships which are not successful.

SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS

Generous people have a successful relationship. They are not selfish. And that are the people who are content.

UNSUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS

In an unsuccessful relationship people are selfish. They are not generous. They become failures. And eventually they feel very lonely.

We can choose to be content or to be lonely.

“Nothing beats a good book, …”

That says the Hospice Shop advertisement in our local paper, The Northland Age. Hospice Shops are shops where second hand goods are turned into First Class Care.

The ad tells us further about “Holiday Boredom Busters”, not only for children but also for parents. Everybody is invited to check out the huge range of novels.

I wholeheartedly agree that “Nothing beats a good book,” especially when the book is all about The Book of Books, the Good Book, the BIBLE. The book I am reading just now is a book like that, namely a book by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. The book contains nine sermons on Galatians 6:14. (I think everybody should read the book, especially pastors!)
