Relationships

“People have relationships with their doctor like they have relationships with their hairdresser – you don’t just jump ship because there’s someone cheaper down the road.” – Nick Heywood, Broadway Health Waipapa manager

That quote is from the article “CHEAPER DOCTORS’ VISITS AT WAIPAPA”, The Northland Age, Thursday, December 15, 2011.

I have never paid much attention to my relationship with my hairdresser. I had my last haircut before Christmas today and my hairdresser presented me with a beautiful pen. “THE CUTTING BAR, Kaitaia 0410” is engraved on the pen.

But I have always been thinking much about my relationship with my doctor and my dentist.

Why?

Because my body is important to me. You want a doctor and a dentist you can trust.

But we don’t only have a body. We have also a soul. And that is why my relationship with the living God is my most important relationship.

Do you have a relationship with the living God?

“Which book will keep you company over the summer months?”

That is one of the five questions amazing Kiwis (New Zealanders) are asked. ( Westpac magazine “love RED”, Issue 6-12 / 2011, page 24)

The theme is “MY SUMMER….”

Another question is “Where is your favourite New Zealand summer holiday destination?” Yet another question is “What is it about summer that you love the most?”

What is your answer to the question “WHICH BOOK WILL KEEP YOU COMPANY OVER THE SUMMER MONTHS?”

Here is my answer:

THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD!

“This is our Place”

“YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THIS WORLD.” – Mahatma Gandhi

1. The change I wish to see in the world is changed people, changed by the Holy Spirit.

2. I am such a changed person.

3. I am telling people  about the Lord Jesus Christ, who can change them.
