Saying thank You LORD ....



Give thanks to the LORD for He is good, His love endures forever.  Psalm 118:29

The most difficult time to give Praise to my God is when I feel so low and down.  Not that I feel low and down today.  I feel vibarent and excilerated and I feel so alive and grateful for a new day, a chance to live my life to the fullest and be whom God made me to be.  I have the opportunity to walk out here and change the world.  I wish.


A reflection over the past week, I attended a course to enhance my skills and the very first evening I came home to report to my husband what beautiful women are attending the course.  He smiled at me and said, darling you are beautiful too.  Relax and don’t get your knickers in a knott.

I noticed that the lecuture would say to this woman and that woman how beautiful they are and look.  My goodness, I thought at one stage, I really must look like a dog, but on the contratry to my husband I am just fine.  I don’t need to be reminded of my beauty as he said beauty is skill deep.

Reminding me that it doesn’t really matter what is outside but it does matter what is inside.  How we walk, talk and behave is really what matters.  What we do, and how we treat people, that is of utmost importance.  How to deal with live is also important and we need to know that these things are important, we must live our lifes to the fullest and work hard not to hurt others around us.

Today I want to say thank you LORD for Your kindness, for YOU are good, Lord YOUR love endures forever. 

 Amen

#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...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
