Aging ...

Me and my grandchild Anabelle on my 50th

I don’t know if it is true for any of you beautiful young woman, but aging has become such an issue for me.  The first sign of aging is pre-menopause, night sweats and hot flushes.  Then all the other issue that come along with menopause.  Then of course grey hairs are popping up all over my dark head.

Proverbs 20:29
“The glory of young men is their strength, grey hair the splendour of the old.” (NIV)

So guess what?  I am going to embrace my grey hair and enjoy the splendour of my old age.

Then of course I don’t know about most of you young and beautiful woman but I dream a lot and most of the dreams are significant to me.  I receive messages and it takes me a couple of days to get to the bottom of it but I finally I get the answer.  I believe God is dealing with me in this way; isn’t it awesome.

Joel 2:28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” (NIV)

I hope that as I age I will be treated with respect and that in turn I will treat other people the same way.

Leviticus 19:32 “You shall stand up before the grey head and honour the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the LORD.” ( ESV)

Just one more and tomorrow we can carry on with the aging process.  I have the highest respect for my father, I know he had his faults and what not but in my eyes he is the greatest man that ever lived.  Then of course there is my mum, to me she means the world and I really worry about her, she is fragile and easily offended.  I keep her in prayers constantly as I know she done the best she could and I think it paid off.  All her children are respectful and decent and she can be proud of all her grandchildren too, not to mention her grate grandchildren.



Proverbs 6:20 -23 “My son, keep your father’s commands, and don’t forget your mother’s teaching. Keep their words in mind forever as though you had them tied around your neck. They will guide you when you walk. They will guard you when you sleep. They will speak to you when you are awake. These commands are like a lamp; this teaching is like a light. And the correction that comes from them will help you have life.” (NCV)

#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...
