Trying to keep your head above water

No, I can't swim but I do think in these fraught financial times, that many people struggle to make ends meet. Some I know have two or three jobs in order to pay rent or a mortgage. Will matters improve - well you can only hope and try to keep the wolf from the door. However, I do believe most people have too many possessions. Do you really need them? Sell them on EBay or hold a table top sale with a friend (to share costs) - a friend I know regularly sells items for under £l. Pray - God will find an answer.

The law of cause and effect

The law of cause and effect means that whatever you say or do affects someone somewhere. You can lift a person's spirits or you can dash them to the ground. In other words "think before you leap" and "look before you leap". During this period of Lent, try to be more patient, calm, kind, understanding, good, tolerant, loving, sympathetic. Look around you and observe - someone may need help; your animals may need care. Be aware of others and the world will respond.
