What a privilege it is when people share their innermost thoughts, and feelings. Whether it is in hotel ministry, or visiting people from the local fellowship of believers. To hear the sense of trust, and respect, that they have in you. This is not something to be taken lightly. To be welcomed into their world.
The other day I was listening to two mates, as they both shared about their lives. Only to hear one say, I didn't realise that was your situation!
In another conversation, the sharer said that they had not spoken of the particular matter before.
A case worker shared how one of the clients, simply wept, when confronted with the enormity of the burdens, that they were carrying.
The Salvation Army has been involved in Court and Prison Ministry for a long time. Through this forum, I want to acknowledge their important, and valuable work. I would also like to acknowledge the Salvationists, who take Christian values, morals, and responsibilities, into their work places.
The world is a big place, and we have a big job to do!
May we not miss opportunities!
Matthew 15:32 But Jesus wasn't finished with them. He called his disciples and said, "I hurt for these people. For three days now they've been with me, and now they have nothing to eat. I can't send them away without a meal—they'd probably collapse on the road." (Message)

Sharing something that is very close to your heart sure shows how much you trust a person. Also if you want people to trust you that much then you have to show you trust them back by sharing your life too. That's really cool Dad. Hey thanks for teaching me that, I'm sure I learnt it from you and Mum.
Love you,
Tish
