In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The lark, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
----------------------
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
--------------------
Take up our quarrel will the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
-----------------

REMEMBER Think on this.
Show hospitality to strangers for by doing that some have entertained angels.
The Bible. Hebrews 13:2

Drought Support

We are currently collecting again for  farmers in the Walgett area.  

 Our donations go directly to the primary producers through the Rural Financial Counselling Service.
    
         Our bit of rain has not stopped the drought.        
Can you help?
Donations can be made at our church office.
Read a letter we have received below.

A letter from Walgett!
To the kind people of the Uniting Church, Coffs Harbour.
     ..... and I sincerely thank you for your generous, much needed and more appreciated gift cards.
We are a Merino sheep station situated 100 kms west of Walgett which has been feeding sheep for 9 long years. This horrible drought has almost broken us, financially, physically and emotionally. I also speak on behalf of all farmers and small towns in our district.
So for you wonderful people to gather and donate this thoughtful gift to us, reinforces our spirit  and strength & truly enables  us to keep going when it becomes difficult to keep moving forward.
Thank you ALL from the bottom of our hearts.
Yours faithfully,
Names withheld.

    Thought for today:

  Have you ever been so busy that you could describe yourself as a nervous wreck? You try to cope with too many demands, and it all gets too much because you are just so busy.

  The story is told about the Archbishop of Canterbury rushing to catch a train. In his hurry he jumped into the wrong passenger car which was filled with mental patients on a day trip to the country. As the train pulls out, the nurse did a count to check that everyone was present. Suddenly the nurse looked at the man dressed in the clerical collar and asked, 'Who are you?'
He replied, 'I am the Archbishop of Canterbury'.
'Sure', said the nurse and included him in the count for the day.

To stop becoming a nervous wreck we need to check our priorities to ensure that we spend our time and energy on things that matter most. It is so easy to become distracted when we load ourselves up with too many responsibilities. We need to learn  to say NO and let go so that our lives become more manageable.

Jesus knew the importance of taking time out in a busy schedule to refocus on important priorities by spending time in prayer. He calls us to seek first the kingdom of God then our priorities will fall into their rightful place.

         Sometimes we need to pray;
        'Slow me down Lord,                         I am going too fast'
