@samuel_leeds In reality, you are talking about buying a church building. The Church has left the building. #teamJesus

I'm buying a Church. This church was about to be bought by developers and turned into flats. So I put a cash offer in over the asking price. But after weeks of delays due to land-use restrictions, the deal stalled, and the property came off the market… However, it’s about to go back up, and I’ve already had word that developers are queuing up to try buy this building again. I really don’t want to see it become flats. This place once served the community, women’s fellowship, homeless outreach, supper clubs… but now it sits empty. It should be honouring God and helping people again. While waiting on the purchase, I realised just how much the area needs more community spaces. So I’ve leased one of my own properties to Bethel Lighthouse in Walsall, where homeless people are now being housed. We’ve also started a soup kitchen there, which I’m financing. I want to stay faithful to what I already have, and if this church deal goes through, it’s going straight back into serving the community. #british #churches #england #church

@RealTraderJill Yes, one of those days gets strung together in a week. It is great at @Walmart pharmacy. The local store is very helpful. Delivery is helping me stay home more. Just so you know, I’ve never been this old before. I don’t know how to act!!!

Wise words from this young woman! “Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.” “Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.” “When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.” “Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able. Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a shit about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and jeez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.” Thanks to the author, Adele Renee. ♥️

Back in our day, we didn't have Amazon Prime... we had the JCPenney catalog and a whole lot of patience. No "add to cart." Nope. You filled out that little order form like you were signing a peace treaty, double-checked every number, and mailed it off with a stamp and a prayer.📓😂
