Ukraine and Fish & Chips
Fish and Chip shops in the UK had to shut down because of the war in Ukraine.
Weird but true.
Ukraine’s a major supplier of the world’s cooking oil. The war knocked out a major player from the global supply chain.
A dry up meant no fry up.
Unless you’re a English chip shop owner going out of business, it’s probably, er, small fry, compared to the war.
But it’s a reminder – there’s always a knock-on effect to our actions.
The book of James in the Bible says that a small spark can set off a huge forest fire.
And it compares that with a careless word setting off a fiery trail of relationship destruction.
Hello social media!
But remember, if war and careless words have a knock on effect, so too can peace and careful words.
What knock on effect do your words have?
