  • You have to laugh...

    Today I called into the supermarket near church and loaded up my basket with:

    • eight bags of oranges
    • four boxes of cocktail sticks
    • their entire stock of own label fruit pastilles
    • a roll of foil

    When I got to the till, the lady said, "are you going to make orange juice?"

    I tried to explain the Christingle to her but she just looked faintly bemused.

    If, however, you are in the Glasgow area and want to find out just what one is, than come and join us at 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve... it is our "families watchnight" but Christingle is fun for all ages imo.

  • #Advent Challenge Day 22

    Forgiving others is second nature, and anyway there's no-one I currently feel a need to forgive.  My money is spent up already, so I opted for the middle one, not least as after yesterday's household blitz I have lots of stuff waiting to go to charity shops.  But which challenge is the one for you...?

    Dear Catriona

    How many times have you tried something, not quite got it right, and then done better second time around? In all likelihood, we’ve all had the benefit of being given a second chance on something.

    In a similar way, the Bible teaches us the importance of offering second chances, after all, God gives us ‘second chances’ time and time again!

    A view from the Bible

    "Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you."

    Colossians 3: 13
