TIME TRAVEL

A warm day perfect for dad to put down new rubber squares.  Haiti will be surprised with no grass to dig up.  It will look very neat and we think safe for children.  They are heavy and it is hard work so not surprising his feet are hurting but he is pleased at his progress so far.

I had a much quieter day doing a bit of gardening and a bit of house work.

Dad came in and spent the afternoon doing his Sudoku puzzle and completed the evil level and was very pleased with that.  Hard work must be good for the brain!

Travelling back to the beginning of the Bible we read about lives in some ways so different than ours but yet with so many of the same emotions.  They were superstitious and lived in fear of other tribes, and of nature and of God.

Moving ahead to the true story of Hannah Moore, 1745 - 1833 who was a devout Christian yet she believed that the poor were born into their class and were to carry out the duties of their class.

She supported William Wilberforce in his movement to abolish slavery.  His passion affected her to see the lives of the poor in a new light.  She would establish schools because she believed lack of education was a problem.

She wrote a book The Shepherd of Salisbury Place to provide solace and comfort and inspiration to the poor.

She would show compassion to everyone she met. of whatever rank or station they held.  She invited Buddhists and Muslims into her home to share her faith and to learn about theirs.

And from the best of her writings an authentic and radiant devotion still shine.

Our faith needs to continually be examine in the light of new truth!
