“Independent pharmacies face rising costs and funding gaps. We need urgent action to ensure these lifelines for communities remain sustainable. #PharmacyFunding#CommunityHealth”
Sounded like a proper cup tie. My blood pressure has been all over the place, but delighted to be through to the next round @MattBarclay11 https://t.co/KvnBHlsW8n
Of all the parables that Jesus told, in only one of them does he name a character. And he is the lowest, loneliest, most helpless and pitiful character in them all.
He’s a homeless, penniless beggar. He’s “laid at a rich man’s gate,” which means he can’t walk. His skin oozes with sores. His only companions are local street dogs. They encircle him to lick his rashes. Without money, without shelter, without food, without a scrap of dignity. Yet this man was not without one thing. He had a name. Jesus called him Lazarus.
Are you lonely? Do you feel forgotten? Do you sometimes wonder if there’ll be more than a handful of people at your funeral? Are you one of those anonymous faces in that swirling mass of humanity that no one will remember, much less shed a tear for, in a few short years?
Jesus knows your name. The God who named that forgotten man, Lazarus, has not forgotten you. How could he? Your name is tattooed on the palms of his hands. Inked there in crucifixion blood. His nail-pierced palm is a page from the Book of Life. A nursing mother could sooner forget the child at her breast than Jesus can forget you.
As my friend, Michael Dennis, writes, “It is interesting to me that history has forgotten the names of the tycoons, businessmen, scholars, and politicians mentioned in Scripture, but we know of an insignificant beggar named Lazarus. For all those who feel alone, defeated, lost, and forgotten.”
Indeed, for them, for you, Jesus has a name, a place, and a heart full of love.
@MattBarclay11 Any team that takes 82 minutes to get a shot on target doesn’t deserve anything better. No idea what’s going on this season. Well done on another 3 points.
While this ballot reflects views in the other home nations of the UK there are challenges too in Scotland being felt by community pharmacy. Adequate support must be there to maintain vital patient access to services. These results are a stark reminder of this. #communitypharmacy
Order placed with @ButtonShed on 16th October finally arrived today 13th November and having taken almost a month to send a single item order they still managed to get it wrong!!! Unbelievably inept.
