I think I've spent too much time flicking channels and getting the porgram adverts for channel 4 and channel 5 - Body Shock!, Nature Shock! - I don't think I've ever watched them. So that explains the title, now here's what its about.
I follow a number of blogs. The other day I commented on a blog, beacuse it had a good message, the next I read my name in the blog. The person concerned - I'll call him John, because that's his name - John, had been praying for me, and that very day I commented on his blog. What a coincidence. I prefer to call it a Godincidence. Those things that just come from nowhere and make you day! Its always good to be back in touch with someone.
Doesn't reading your name in something wake you up? Just as on Sunday, hearing my name in the notices unexpectedly brough my attention back fully on what was happening. My first reaction was - "What have I done?" - meaning how have I transgressed - as though I'm still eight years old and the teacher is shouting at me to be quiet. It wasn't that, of course, it was simply a thankyou for helping out - but I wasn't expecting it. So once I had put my 8 year old self back where he belonged, I can also appreciate the good feeling that receiving thanks gives.
Perhaps I should remember to do the same for others more often?
