Pause for Thought: 'You鈥檙e just one part of something that鈥檚 so much bigger, bringing hope to thousands of deserving children.'
From the Reverend Kate Bottley:
On occasion, it has been said that I have a habit of taking things too far, hard to believe I know. And raising money for a good cause gives me, and others like me the perfect excuse. My friend Kat loves Children in Need, she鈥檚 shaved her head, swam with an Olympian and two years ago lived on the roof of her house for a week. Seven days later and with seven grand raised she climbed down, cold and wet but definitely not miserable. This year she鈥檚 getting sponsored to not shave her legs for 12 months.聽And I thought living on a roof was hairy鈥�
I鈥檝e done my own fair share of crazy stuff for charity. The best of which was organising 50 vicars, a bishop and two nuns to ride a rollercoaster in Blackpool. A few of the clerics took some persuading to be honest, 鈥楤ut it鈥檚 for CHARITY!鈥� I reminded them and they were soon buckled in. Bishop David screamed, Father Rick went on twice and Reverend Fiona despite going a bit green, declared it 鈥榯he best day ever鈥�. Cassocks flapping in the wind we all had a marvellous time, grinning from ear to ear, knowing it was for a good cause. From rickshaws and rollerblading, danceathons and dine and discos. There are a million different creative ways to raise a million. It鈥檚 just one of the many wonderful things about Children in Need.
But it鈥檚 not just the creativity that thrills me, it鈥檚 seeing people like Kat and my rollercoaster buddies, rejoice in their giving and celebrate every pound. While for some, throwing loose change in a bucket is enough of a thrill. Some people like to turn every penny into a party.
The bible has plenty to say on generosity of spirit and the importance of charitable giving but it also says the Lord loves a cheerful giver, so whether you鈥檙e Mr Davies at Sedgefield Community College having buckets of ice tipped over your head tomorrow or you鈥檙e abseiling off the 成人快手 Wales building, good luck Grace!聽
Remember you鈥檙e just one part of something that鈥檚 so much bigger, transforming lives and bringing hope to thousands of deserving children and if that doesn鈥檛 cheer up your day, put a spring in your step and a smile on your face, I don鈥檛 know what will!聽
