GENUINE REFERENCES AVAILABLE Dear Friends Holiday needs and wants Holidays are an emotive subject. In times of austerity, should we actually have them? Perhaps it would be better if we all worked far harder than we do and then the good times will return. Or, is it a case of the Church getting things right many centuries ago and recognising Holy Days as days of recreation – over and above the very well established principal of the Sabbath. For we all need rest and recreation (and re-creation!). It follows that we all need a holiday. So, what does that holiday have to consist of? A change in routine or a change of place? Catered or self-catered? Rest for all for all of the holiday or a rest for all for some of the holiday? Home or abroad? Car or coach? Train or plane? The variations are endless. They are all additional to the basic need. The holiday process develops into something that we want. In life, we all have needs. We all have wants. A need is something that we must have, whereas a want is something that will make what we must have better than the basic. The example above sets out how a holiday can turn from a need into a want. A car is another example. For those of us living in a rural area, a reliable car is now a need. The top of the range model is a want, for the basic model will provide the same space in the vehicle. You will be able to think of other examples which affect you. These will be helpful to have in mind when reviewing your giving. Does your spending on ‘wants’ exceed your giving back to God? And, if so, is this a basis on which to consider what you give? Some wants will have involved making commitments to others – we are not saying ‘stop paying for your car because it is not the basic one’ – for, if you did, that would cause personal difficulties and be dishonouring to God. But it may be something which could be looked at when the car is changed (or the next holiday booked). Sunday the 8th July is Stewardship Sunday and we will be giving some information about reviewing our giving or indeed for some people starting to give on a regular basis. Please spend some time looking at the information and thanking God for:- Supplying needs Being generous over and above the supply of needs Being with us on our holidays (He does not take time off) – and in our cars And consider how your need to respond to His giving can occur. Blessings

John
