Ned's



I watched a film called Ned's and was totally shocked by the behaviour of those Neds, the violence and hate and disrespect - but they are only a product of their enviroment. 


It was evident to me that there was no love shown to the boy in the film, no love and no praise whatsoever - either at home or in school -  just a constant feeling of fear and hatred and hate and violence comes when all you've been shown in life is hate and violence. 


But what i have learned from this film is that children need to be raised in a loving, respectful, happy enviroment where the child is loved and praised and encouraged and respected and allowed the opportunity to use their time productively. 


i don't think prison is a great enviroment for thugs either because prison doesn't give them the opportunity to let their guard down and change because in prison they are more than likely to behave more violent, more disrespectful and more thuggish. 


It's a sad state of affairs when this is the world we are living in. It's shocking and I pray that things change. Instead of trying to be hard men I hope they find an interest other than knives and crime and have more compassion for people. 


Amen

    I totally agree Casey, like those people that swear in front of their kids then wonder why their kids swear back at them, its not clever and its not funny, you should respect yourself and your child by cleaning up your language when you have children, teach them respect and love.Nuture your children, show them love and teach them love and they will in return grow up to be balanced and respectful.

The things that matter.

                 We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us.  We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes.  We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a  heartwarming hug, a passiona...

Gods love

  He loved his disciples, he loved them as you love me. He protected them as you protect me. He guarded them as you guard me. He told them many things as you have told me many things. He gave them his word as you have given me. He loved them as you love me and I love you.

Dark days!

          Sometimes we think the Lord will never bless us. We have lost hope, have given up, are stuck in a rut and can't or won't move forward and given up even trying. Some of us give up on our relationships, give up trying to make things right, give up on having a better life.  We all have dark days, days when we just can't seem to get anything right, we all suffer from broken hearts, loss, go through some really difficult times in our lives but it's important to struggle on and fight, to never crumble but to be strong and remain in christ. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.    We may choose not to notice that God is blessing our lives because it's easier to live like there is no hope, it's easier to put the blame onto others, blame society for our failings so that we don't have to  look to ourselves to see how bad things are. We choose to deny the good things, we choose to ignore the positives, we choose to be blind to Gods...
