Dear Friends,
Last month the Revd Sue Wilson wrote about the credit crunch and how if we ordered our lives in the way of love, justice and forgiveness then our world may begin to be a better place. This is a fine model as we enter into what we in the Christian faith call Lent. Lent is a time when we become more reflective, thinking about the time Jesus was tempted in the wilderness. Often people give up something they value or enjoy for 40 days. If this means saving financially then money is given to a worthy cause. Working on the principle that it is easier to give something up, if you've got something to start with, at St John’s Levens we are encouraging one another to ‘Count Your Blessings’. This is being promoted by Christian Aid which is concerned about the effects of Global Poverty. Far too many people in the world don't even have life's basics. Each day in Lent we are looking at what our blessings are, then how we can respond positively – simple things like The UK spends £10.2 billion each year on food that ends up being thrown away. Give 10p for every cookbook you own. Even on the UK minimum wage of £5.73 an hour, you would be in the richest 11% of the world. Give 20p for each debit or credit card you have. In Peru, one in four people has no access to primary healthcare. Give 25p if you are registered with a GP and another 25p if you can name your GP. The popular chorus helps us too: When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
A more recent song with the same title speaks of someone who lives in the street It's easy begging change but when the cold air comes And your hands they freeze the night it breathes last sleep Cringe from the frozen wind the end starts to begin Count your blessings Won't you? God's eye is still on you times pass won't last You'll see! Your fate is here with me.
Perhaps this Lent you will think, act and pray for change for our nation and throughout the world.
