So many people in our society are ‘time poor’ and don’t sacrifice things to enable themselves to give time to people who are less fortunate than themselves or in need relationally. Don’t fall into this same trap as the world.

Its a sad result of our busy careerism, consumerism society that revolves around self. There are now a lot of ‘selves’ that are lonely.

The socially isolate is a huge demographic. Rich poor, young old, male female. So many face each day without any intimate or personal relational time.

Be brave and pop into the homes of people often.Kirribilli is home to housing commission and a few memebers of our congreations call it home. The more you pop over to their place the more your face gets known about the place too… But other than that goal in mind never be too busy to love people and care for the weak, vulnerable and down in society. The world may look them over but lets love them.

TIP: don’t eat before you got to elderly peoples home… they will often feed you cakes, biscuits or even a full cooked meal even if it is 2pm in the afternoon.
