verse of the day

I remember.[ Acts 16 v31]

In my 70 years I have witnessed a lot of change,in some ways life is so different,the housing situation has changed,it takes nearly a kings ransom to buy a house,if you can get a mortgage. To even rent a property is very expensive,it seemed so different years ago,although the standard of housing has improved.When I was young the home we lived in a rented property,that had no warm water,an outside loo,no bathroom,two small bedrooms,which we all slept in,and when people came to stay,it really was a tight squeeze. We had a wind up gramophone,a radio in which,ran on a battery,that needed charged up at the local bike shop.I do remember horse drawn vehicles and trams,later replaced by trolley buses, both these where powered by electric.So many people have cars,then very few people had,when TV came it was only the few who had them.Very few people had washing machines,most of the washing was done in the sink,in the kitchen,later in time we would go to a place called a laundrette. I  could write so much more about the changes ,but enough for now, but there are things that do not change, death, judgement,the need to be saved the need to know Jesus as ones Saviour,that will never change.
A prayer....../Dear God grant that  in a world that is for ever changing ,that You do not change,we do not change, we are still sinners who need a Saviour, Amen/
