Beyond the Tinsel

4th December 2012
News

It’s that time of year when the tinsel and sparkling lights come out and lets be honest it brightens up a time of year with low levels of light! May you have time this Christmas to stop and be reminded that following Christ touches beyond the edges of our lives. Its nothing to do with transforming the fringes. Its purpose is not simply to add some extra qualities to our lives. It has to do with the very core of our existence. Our inner life is not a quiet inner sanctuary that remains segregated from the more central and mundane aspects of our lives. Following Christ is transformative. It challenges us at the very centre of our being and seeks to permeate every facet of our existence.

Paul Sarah and Sophia’s News  Update recently received into the SAMS office

——-

Dear Praying Friends,

We’re about a month away from our return to the UK for three months, to see family and friends, especially over Christmas, visit supporters and for Paul to study. We’re currently sorting out our schedule for our time there. We’ll send out one more update before Christmas with details of the visit but we wanted to let you know what we’ve been up in the last month or so and so our latest prayer letter is attached.

We are very grateful for your support and hope that you enjoy the read and are inspired to pray. For those who’d like to see them, we also include links below to more photos, so that you can see more of what we are up to.

Killing Time

Killing Time

How do I kill time? Let me count the ways.
By worrying about things over which I have
no control.
Like the past. Like the future.
By harbouring resentment and anger over
hurts real or imagined.
By disdaining the ordinary, or rather,
what I so mindlessly call ordinary.
By concern over what’s in it for me.
rather than what’s in me for it.
By failing to appreciate what is
because of might-have-beens,
should-have-beens,
could-have beens.
These are some of the ways I kill time.
Jesus didn’t kill time.
He gave life to it. His own.
