Det er typisk norsk aa tjene penger for krig!

     I start my post translating or at least trying "It is typical Norwegian to give money to "war" or something like this". Maybe I should set a link between one of the books I am diving into these days and this phrase which I saw on one of the stands at Impuls - Trondheim from 5.-7 mars.
     The book says a lot about how different people became just by living in different hemispheres. It is like in Norway, because of the big mountains it used to be quite hard for people from opposite sides of the country to communicate, then what happened? They started talking differently and making their own sub-language. This is totally-extremely bad nowadays when foreigners have problems to learn the language.
           Well, I forgot that I should say a bit about the book. It says so much about relationships and how different people deal with this subject differently. It was clear that money does not bring the magic potion of no-loliness, no-parents divorce or no-relationship problems.
           I have been touched by those who spend time with the neglected ones, the little kids, the marginalized, those who do not have the same opportunities in life. Though money has its importance and its role on the big picture, our deeds toward people will last a thousand times more than just our money. How hard is it to talk with people and give them hope through Jesus Christ? Tremendously hard, I would say. We would rather give them money because there is no embarassement and money is never a problem in a society where the average income is approximately 30.000 NOK which is 10.000 reais while in Brazil people live with 300 reais p/month.
            Give your money but also give yourself... When are we gonna learn this? It is not about us, it is about the little ones. Jesus said that "Anything you do to these little ones you do it to me"

Being a Christian means tremendously more than having several binders of Evangelism, fellowship or whatever on our shelves, but it is about being ready to do the good work of Jesus Christ.

 

Liked you piece of art? I did it, all the letters... uhuu!
From 5-7 March I was at Impuls in Trondheim and me, Joachim and Marie were at the LAGETs stand there. It was awesome to see all the kids again from Skolelaget and be part of it is definitely Gods work.
