‘Tis the Season to be jolly!

Another year is drawing to a close, our lives have been enriched with beautiful memories, some difficult times, a lot of blessed times and loads of laughter. This year was a good year, from the beginning to the end.

This is the first time in a very long time I feel excited about Christmas, I used to dread this time of year, it seemed to be a difficult time, loads of tears, and heartbreak.

It will be different this year, my children and I and our families are going to spend Christmas time together. There are peace and quiet and we all are feeling good about ourselves. The stress of difficulty is gone.

Relationship
I remarried and there are stepchildren, then, of course, my own children and granddaughters. We are all getting on much better, live is a little more relaxed.

Responsibilities
And of course, the biggest stress I face is a ‘job loss’. I am praying the Lord will bless me next year with a good paying job. I believe God can move mountains.

My Decisions
My husband’s favorite antic the decisions you make today affect your tomorrow. You know these words haunt my life, and I really don’t even want to think about things like making any decisions. You can make a wrong choice and it can come and bite you.

Moving forward
For my life I have decided to move forward, let the people who hate me, hate me. The people who talk ill about me, God will deal with them. The judgmental and gossiping people; the same, leave them to their gossip, God will deal with them. I think that each person who feels they have the right to discuss my life and tell people how they perceive me, may they get exactly what they say about me.

Luckily my family isn't in this category and I know they will never bad mouth me. The bitter and nasty words spoken against me is from so called friends, shame.

2017
I believe with all my heart, God is going to bless me with the sales of my book, I will publish my book and I will be able to leave a legacy for my children and grandchildren. God is my rock, I will not be moved. What an awesome prospect. I adore the Lord with all my heart. 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...
