Just a Minute: spoilt for choice!
I made a rare visit to a large supermarket in town this weekend and was amazed at the variety of choice for almost every product that we chose! To say that we were spoilt for choice is an understatement!
But as I reflected upon my good fortune to be able to buy almost anything that I needed (not wanted!) it made me think of the large proportion of the world's population who are in need of good food and nourishment.
It is right that we count our blessings, and at the same time do our part in making this a more just and fairer world.
Jesus stated that 'those to whom much is given, much is required'. When I make my next visit I will try to hold these words in my mind!
