Dear friend,
It’s been halfway through the summer, and we hope you’ve stayed cool and healthy no matter where you are.
Please join us this Friday for the last meeting for the summer. We’ve got great food and discussion! Also get involved in our annual Welcome To Texas: BBQ & Square Dance to help new comers connect with communities on campus
This Friday at Wesley House
Dinner will begin at 6:30pm
Rotimi will be cooking this Friday. Come and taste yummy Nigerian dishes! Here is the menu:
Nigerian style beans, steamed ricewith chicken sauce
Discussion from 7:30 to 8:30pm
This Friday we will talk about forgiveness. Please read chapter 7: Spiritual Surgery: Forgiveness in the book <Everybody’s normal till you get to know them>. Here take a look at some great quotes from this chapter:
To all the wonders that God has created, human beings add an invention of their own: revenge.
There are two ways to live with hurt: the way of vengeance and the way of forgiveness.
Forgiveness takes place within the heart of one human being. It can be granted even if the other person does not ask for it or deserve it.
Avoidance kills community. Avoidance causes resentment to fester inside you.
The problem with getting even is that no two people weigh pain on the same scale.
Because reconciliation is the healing of our deepest longinh, it is never too late to seek it.
