Whatever anyone else tells you Billy Graham summed it up very clearly when he said, “Jesus Christ is not just one of many ways to God; He is the only way. He is the truth, and He is the life.” Let this reminder energise you life this week.

As my mum always used to say, “I love a family” – and that ‘s what we are – a family of God’s children here at ABC. I’m sure that Billy Graham would certainly agree as he once said, “The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.” So, this week let’s celebrate and enjoy being ‘family’.

“The beauty of nature reflects the beauty of our Creator. God paints the sky every morning and every evening.” — Billy Graham

This week, I was challenged by this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, a poet, essayist and philosopher who wrote in 1860, ‘You can never do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.’ So let me ask you, how you getting on with ‘Loving your neighbour as yourself?’ Well perhaps we should all take notice of Waldo’s quote and do an unexpected kindness to a neighbour this week You might be surprised by the result. Tea and cake is always a good start!

Here’s an inspirational quote for this week by Charles Spurgeon, “The Lord is my Shepherd. He is not a shepherd, He is my Shepherd. He cares for me, watches over me, and preserves me.” And here is the really good news – the Lord is also your shepherd.
