Story Prompt: Write a 50 word story featuring a ticket

- April 10, 2024

We strolled in silence, the only sounds the gentle rustling of leaves and chirping of birds. And as we stood there, enveloped in the beauty of creation, I felt as though I held a ticket to a realm of tranquility and grace, guided by the hand of wisdom and love. (A 50 word story I wrote for the April Scottish Book Trust Competition: write a story featuring a ticket )

17 Injunctions For Embodied Faith

“True evangelical faith is of such a nature it cannot lie dormant, but spreads itself out in all kinds of righteousness and fruits of love; it dies to flesh and blood (1); it destroys all lusts and forbidden desires (2); it seeks, serves and fears God in its inmost soul (3); it clothes the naked (4); it feeds the hungry (5); it comforts the sorrowful (6); it shelters the destitute (7); it aids and consoles the sad (8); it does good to those who do it harm (9); it serves those that harm it (10); it prays for those who persecute it (11); it teaches, admonishes and judges us with the Word of the Lord (12); it seeks those who are lost (13); it binds up what is wounded (14); it heals the sick (15); it saves what is strong (sound) (16); it becomes all things to all people (17). The persecution, suffering and anguish that come to it for the sake of the Lord’s truth have become a glorious joy and comfort to it.” (Menno Simons)
