Life is something a person can become very philosophical about. Each person lives life. Each person shares his/her life with others. Everybody’s life circumstances differ. Above all, every person has a unique outlook on life. Our outlook on life influences the choices we make. The choices we make influence our life circumstances, the lives we share with other people and in influences our own lives. At the risk of becoming too clever for my own good, I see danger and opportunity in this cycle just mentioned. If we choose to place Christ in the centre of this cycle, it seems like a much safer cycle to live and experience. In this month’s newsletter we share the stories of the lives we witness. We tell you about exuberant joy when we exposed children in our care to exciting new experiences. We tell you about people who (by means of one of our programs) managed to escape the whirlpool of negativity that held them captive. We share how service organisations choose to share their lives with us. The golden thread that is sewed into each of the news stories this month is God’s involvement in the lives of Individuals, groups and communities. He was, is, and will always be in control there where we choose to place Him central. Enjoy the read.
