fun weekend had :) my uncle stu, (the forever wandering soul, who now lives in london now, but randomly pops up in the strangest of places!) called on friday to say him and his gf sally were comin to glasgow for wknd! after meetin them for a very rushed drink last nite, my dad and i took them to loch lomond this afternoon! i haven't seen him in 4 years, but he's still my favourite- we're surprisingly similar (altho his hair is much greyer and a little shorter!) and apparently my cousin, Cara is my double!
went to st silas again tonite on my own, i think im gettin very brave (see blog entry 'tonite i was scared... twice' for more examples of my braveness!!) but sat with a guy i'v got to know a bit, and then made many more friends after at the pub! church was excellent, based on James 2 v1-13- once again i came away with lots to mull over.
chris made an interesting point tonite, that we don't really appreciate what God's grace is, and if we did we'd be living very differently (kind of what i was thinkin about a few weeks ago). he gave the example of a charity he's been involved with, Hazel's footprints, and the way in which everyone involved has been highly motivated and inspired to make a difference to others after the life and death of Hazel, who was killed in a car accident last year.
they have been working tirelessly to raise awareness and funds for the charity and are fully committed to it, in honour of Hazel and all she meant to them.
as christians, how motivated and inspired are we to make a difference to others after the life and death of Jesus? do we work tirelessly to make others aware of all He has done? are we fully committed in all we do to make sure others know about the difference God makes to those who choose to follow Him? are we even allowing God to make our own lives any different?
Hazel's footprints will undoubtedly change people's lives; think of how much more God will do, in us and thru us, if we let Him! yeah!
