What a valuable lesson I learnt (again) this morning

when I was a little poorly and so had to postpone a zoom chat

with a very challenging and interesting friend ,Dan Flynn.

Dan enjoys ‘rude health’ (words used by a friend of one of our Power of 8 group members as he requested us to pray that he return to ‘rude health)

and I was ‘envious’ of that for myself.

Lessons learned

1.Don’t be envious (https://www.openbible.info/topics/envy_and_jealousy

2. ‘Be’ content (1 Timothy 6:6)

After another hours rest and a shower I was feeling refreshed

and ready to get on with the day but glad I had learnt again and thinking

of that challenging parable of Jesus about how we think of ourselves (see Luke 14:1-11)

AND what lovely affirming words the song from ‘Oliver’ has

At Home

Part of the Family

One of Us

Surely God’s words to me today
