Today is the 11th day of the 11th month. We remember the horror and foolishness of war. As we remember the 1914-18 “war to end all wars” pray for those suffering in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan and elsewhere.

The opposite of addiction is connection and community! An old message now but one we still need to act on.

‘Love Thy Neighbor,’ Really? Is That All You Got?

We need to show more compassion and reject both Israeli and Hamas led violence. A call from Sharone Lifschitz. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Two years after 7 October and the kidnap of my parents, hate is in fashion. For all our sakes, we need compassion | Sharone Lifschitz

Two hours of exercise a week reduces joint pain and visits to GP
Study looks at how workouts can help those with hip, knee and back pain – and benefit UK economy to tune of £34bn

Today we remember is Christian educationalist George Muller, born 27th September 1805. He opened >100 schools and cared for >10,000 orphans in my adopted city, Bristol. He was criticised for “raising the poor above their natural station in life”. Is this still our attitude?

When Jesus is asked how to achieve “eternal life” he doesn’t reply “be religious”, Instead, he tells us that we will be judged by our compassion to the poor, widows, the hungry and those who have been attacked and beaten. Jesus preaches tolerance, community and love. Christians must remember this!

You cannot pour from an empty pot. Please make sure you take time to rest and recharge. Self care is not selfish, it is vital. We cannot give fully to others if we are lacking in ourselves. Be kind to all things but start with You. 😊

Before we speak, we should let our words pass through three gates:
* Is it true?
* Is it kind?
* Is it necessary?
Our judgement of ‘is it necessary’ is especially important. It may override the other two. But the other two can override it. And that choice comes down to wisdom. 🙏
