Monthly Thought

June 2009

Well, I have to admit we're really close now and can hardly hold my excitement as the coming weeks are counted down….and that's only for the football World Cup final! Oops, I mean camp! I know for many of you, the final exams and end-of-year assessments will be almost over and the summer holidays are only just around the corner. The anticipation of the holidays is something I always enjoyed and I seemed to dread the end of them, knowing school was to restart soon with loss of 'freedom' that would bring.

In a way, the anticipation of the holidays is a bit like waiting for heaven, it always seems so far away but when we get there we know it will be such a fun time. In fact, according to the Bible, heaven is one amazingly big party, where we are in an everlasting state of happiness (check out the last two chapters of the Bible, for example). No more tears, pain or hurt. Imagine that - no more exams or broken bones! In fact, all the answers we need of how to get to heaven are contained in the Bible. If you're not sure, I'll make it simple. There is just one condition we must all meet. One way of how to get in the "team", so to speak. Find out and accept what Jesus has done for you - thank him, ask him to deal with the bad stuff, ask him to sort you out and you just might have a chance…If you think you've made this step have you told some-one else, another Christian perhaps? If not, why not? If you're not sure, have a look at this funky Australian website http://www.christianity.net.au/ and you might find out what I mean... Don't forget - I don't want to see you on the wrong side...

May you continue to learn to find out how God richly blesses you.
