This beautiful person (a real inspiration of mine) has been brave enough to face death head on and plan her FUNeral! A Living funeral: Her funeral! An amazing idea, one that really resonates with me, something I would love to do too.Why do we have to hang on to miserable, old fashioned traditions that make is miserable???Why not celebrate life with our loved ones with them whilst we still can??It may not be for everyone, but I'm sure it can change lives fir some.#makingmemories #challenge #tradition #doitbetter #newway #yourlifeyourway #funeralplanning #differently #iformYODO (you only die once).

🙏🏾🛐🙏🏾1 Corinthians 13:4-7King James VersionCharity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.https://lnkd.in/e-rJqKjy#charity

Recently, I was contacted by an individual who had noticed that the amount of help we are giving each household is a third higher this year than last year, but energy prices have not increased by a third.Well, the explanation is that when we first started, the average per person was around £10.50 (£34 per household), & now it is £13.52 per person, which is £44.10 per household.However, last year, the households were getting around £60 a month in energy support, which is now not being given.https://lnkd.in/eeMQh5mZhttps://lnkd.in/eh4yQUpVWe started today, Wednesday,14th of February, 2024, with 1 home unresolved, & we have added £300 of local funds to the pot, and resolved the home from last night, which left us with £261, It is 11 am and we have had 10 valid claims, and we have spent £246 resolving 6 of them already, and have 4 unresolved and £15 left in the kitty.It is Valentine's day, and people are going without heat and energy.PS: While I was typing this, we have received 2 more valid referrals.So we have 6 homes in need, 22 people.

They aren't coming to your funeralAt mXa we teach that the 2nd habit of highly effective people, to begin with the end in mind, is to be taken very literally. In the most extreme case, if someone is not likely to be at your funeral, well…keep their impact on your life in perspective.Conversely, if they are going to speak at your funeral, be extremely intentional with them. Don’t let anything go in doubt.There are so many pressures in modern life; so much noise, it can be overwhelming. I have been reminded recently that when people speak at your funeral you want them to have a lot to say about your openness, your generosity, your kindness. They won’t care much about the title you had, the achievement that seemed so important, and they certainly won’t care about the money you made. I want to live in a way that the memories that they refer to aren’t ancient history. I don’t want them to have to reach into long ago to remember a time that I made a positive impact on them.At the end of this life all you will want is more time with the people who will be speaking at your funeral. So this reminder is more for me than for anyone. None of us get out of this thing alive - so it is a reminder for me to everyday invest in the people around me who will be at my funeral someday (don’t get your hopes up - this will not be soon).#liveonpurpose#counterculture#beginwiththeendinmind#life

Last night, Friday 2nd of February, 2024, we had 4 homes unaided until we received 2 amazing donations of £100 & £250.We spent £174 sorting those out last night, no home left without energy that we were aware of. https://lnkd.in/e3-PR3trThis morning, Saturday 3rd of February, 2024, we started with another generous donation of £5 (Every penny counts; we take no donation for granted); we added £300 of local funds. £481 in the pot.Today, we have had 9 referrals & have spent £384 in resolving them, so we have £97 left in the kitty. All these were financially resolved by 11:30hrs. I apologise for the lateness in this update. Eight have working heating now.However, one of the boilers would not restart. The friendly gas engineer who helped us has deemed it a Boiler Beyond Economical Repair (BER), the Landlord is not willing to replace it. He has said, he will issue a section 21 notice to remove the tenant.After 9 years of taking rent, and because the tenants work in a supermarket, even through hashtag#COVID19, they paid their full rent because as essential workers they were still earning money, the first time a major repair is needed this is the threat.It is a disgusting system, Sorry, I forgot to mention that we have provided the family with 3 electric heaters, and an electrician has been out and tested the immersion heater, which has not been used for years, and passed it as safe.

1 Corinthians 13 (KJV)"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."Romans 3:25, 10:9-10, 1 Cor 15:1-4 < BELIEVE and be saved! We are all sinners. Christ knows your heart and intent. Speak to Him now! Jesus means: 'JEHOVAH Saves'#Jesus #Love #charity #kindness
