Haysbridge, and the C.O.Visit

What a comfort and a refuge the Christian congregation is. This cold/flu thingummy has left me feeling so tired and down, but suddenly we have the one day assembly at Haysbridge, the Circuit Overseer visit, and the Memorial all turn up.

 It was the perfect theme at Haysbridge:

DON'T GIVE UP IN FULFILLING THE LAW OF THE CHRIST.

Because everyone is tired and stressed, and we all have our problems. But "the law of the Christ" is based on love, and it is refreshing.  So exactly what we need.

The keynote Scripture was Galatians 6:2:  "Go on carrying the burdens of one another, and in this way you will fulfill the law of the Christ."

This is a love expressed in action.

The last talk, given by a South African brother from London Bethel, was:  "Love one another, just as Jesus loved you."

We had the meeting on Tuesday and the talk given was:  "WE MUST RUN WITH ENDURANCE".  Some of our brothers have a great deal to endure in the way of direct persecution at the moment. And we are all under some sort of stress, or stresses.

This morning it was the Dentist - 6 monthly check up and clean - aarrgghh - but I did manage to leave an invite with them, and made a couple of calls. Still no sign of the retired lawyer - I think he may be away - but I did find another lady at home and had a brief and friendly chat. She hadn't had an invitation to The Memorial and seemed happy with it. It would be lovely if she came.  I have been trying to find her at home again for some time.

A quiet night in with the telly and Captain B I hope, as I plan to go out on the Field Service tomorrow morning
