Comfort

Today we spent time with Andrew and Liz and little Finn and Jamie out at Kellyville. There are a lot of things you could say about Kellyville, but I'll limit it to one - it was hot. 41 degrees. Instead of doing the BBQ we could have just lef the meat in the sun for 10 min.

But it was great to hang with Reesy and Liz and join with the beleivers at Kellyville Anglican. A really friendly crowd. Andrew spoke from Luke Ch 2 where Simeon sees Jesus for the 1st time. He pointed out that all that filled Simeon's horizon, why he got up in the morning, was to wait for the comfort of Israel. He recognised it's arrival in the baby King. Reesy challenged us to consider what fills our horizons as we face this new year.

So, what's it going to be? And think carefully, because much of what we rate as important is really just an impulse, and many of our 'wants' are really just needs aren't they? I'm hoping to take a leaf out of Simeon's book. I'll let you know how it goes.
