Thoughts From The Rectory

A message from the Rectory

Dear friends,


LIFE IS ABOUT PERSPECTIVE


The actor Jackie Chan was once asked, ‘Jackie are you happy with your life?’ His answer left􀅌 people speechless.


The difficult job you complain about is the dream of someone who is unemployed.


The mischievous child that tests your patience is the dream of the childless.


The small house you think is too cramped is the dream of someone who is homeless.


The modest saving you worry over is the dream of those drowning in debt.


The health issues you consider burdensome are the dream of someone fighting a terminal illness.


The fact that your mistakes are not on display for the world to see is the dream of those haunted by their past.


We must be grateful for everything we have.


As another wise teacher once said, 'It is better to see what you have than to want more. Wanting more is useless, like chasing the wind.' Ecclesiastes chapter 6 verse 9. (NCV)


Pray that you can see what you have.


            Rev David Saunders.
