Go And Mingle...

I thought I was doing quite well. Our little Singers' group had an engagement at a local venue, and during the afternoon we were giving them a taste of our 'Messy Church' activities. All went well, and everyone seemed to join in with the group activities, in what we were doing. Great.

And the activities came to an end. And then we had to...

"Go and mingle..."

Oh.

Possibly the hardest part of the proceedings. Unstructured small talk.

However, I still went out and did my bit. Well, you have to, don't you...

"Let’s clear one thing up: Introverts do not hate small talk because we dislike people. We hate small talk because we hate the barrier it creates between people." - Laurie A. Helgoe

Beatitudes and Attitudes

"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference." - Winston Churchill

The above quotation was one I started reflecting on during the course of Friday, as it seemed to speak right into where I was at the time of writing. This was underlined by the preparation work that I did earlier today for tomorrow's Sunday School: it's all about the Beatitudes!

There's a whole host of different and important meetings and milestones coming up in my life during the next week. For example, tomorrow evening is due to see the launch of 'Messy Church' at our Corps. I need to ensure that I stay ready and in the right frame of mind for all these events because I'm already starting to feel tense about it all. Please join me in prayer tonight to ensure that I keep holding onto the right attitude as I seek to serve Him this week.

Thanks. :)
