Ever played the ‘What if’ game? So what if you became a billionaire overnight; such fun you could have. What would be your first purchase? Me, I would head straight to our local bookshop with a large - by that I mean huge - shopping trolley. But with such financial gain comes heavy responsibility. Hm, maybe not a billionaire then.
Let’s try a different ‘What if?’. So, what if when you were singing at a party, you were talent-spotted, and they wanted to sign you up? Would you leave your steady job for the excitement and uncertainty of stardom?
What if you could go back and thank all the folk who helped you in small ways throughout your life? The ones that let you go ahead of them in the queue, the ones that let you out of the side road when driving your car, the ones that said ‘Hi’ or ‘Hello’ when you hadn’t spoken to anyone that day.
What if the person you were just chatting to in the supermarket queue was a world champion and gave you tips on how to beat your friends at bridge or golf or anything?
What if the person on the bus who sat next to you, despite there being plenty of empty seats, said they knew the secret to a better life and all you had to do was listen and follow him?
What if you could tell your friends how much you truly valued and loved them. Query: have you ever met Christ? Are you sure? What if???
