The end of the world

Hello Darlings, it was supposed to be the end of the world yesterday 21 December 2012, but hey here we are still doing the same old thing. I was thinking about that and it reminded me of the passage I read in the new testament where the disciples ask the Lord Jesus when the end of the world would be. I remember it saying that it would be the same as in the days of Noah, people will still be getting married, having babies and buying and selling. We all will be doing our own thing, but there is one thing we wont know and it is to know when the Lord will be returning to come and get us all.

So praise the Lord for another day, year and many more to come, we have so much to be grateful of, I have a beautiful home, a wonderful husband, beautiful children and grandchildren.

I am just wondering if it really was the end of the world, what would we be doing differently? Perhaps we would be kinder towards each other, perhaps we will go and make peace with our friends and family? Perhaps we would think of the people in need?

I don't know but one thing is for sure, I would want to be near my family, I would want to spend my last moments with the people I love and care for.

The year ahead has many challenges we don't know and we cannot see, lets face them with a different attitude, one with courage, love and kindness, respect and most of trusting in each other.

So lets be kinder to each other especially the people we love and respect.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward. God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other. Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’. Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her. One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it. As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’. Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl. I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today. I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
