"Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap". Luke 6:38

 If I am just thinking about myself, and my own comforts - well that's a shame.  What if we all are?  This creates a great sadness.  This is the town that says no to immigrants and refugees.  This is the town that objects to children's homes.  Its creative character is stale.  Everything looks the same, and soleless.

I understand that consistently it's the people of Liverpool who give the most to charity in England (Edinburgh for the UK).  We know that the Liverpudlians are not known for their wealth.  May Liverpool (and Edinburgh) be blessed.

PRAYER: Bless those who are generous, and do not count the cost.
