Do you complain about frivolous things?




Hebrews 13: 3 ESV
“Remember those who are in prison,
as though in prison with them,
and those who are mistreated,
since you also are in the body.”

The other day I was on Facebook and someone shared a video clip of an elderly lady (84 years) being abused by her nurse.  I was infuriated and really angry to see this, but it struck me that the nurse was unaware that she was being filmed.  Just that gave me the satisfaction that she would come to book for her actions.

You know my heart is for the elderly and I feel so terribly sorry for them.  The thing is they have worked their whole lives and end up in a tiny one bedroom space.  Their families either put them there or they do not really have any family to take care of them.

You do not know what your future holds for you and you may end up living in a tiny little one bedroom space where a nurse comes and stands on your frail body or beats you because they can.  People we need to think about our elderly people and story worrying ourselves above frivolous things such as my new duvet cover, new curtains a new car or whatever you desire.

It struck me that I am aging and I cannot get away from my aging process.  Yes I purchase cosmetics to make me look younger but let us be honest we are growing old. Please think about your old mom or dad that you placed in an old age home, remember them they need you.

Prayer

Lord God, Abba Father, You know the old lady and old gentle man that are enduring constant bullying and abuse.  Please LORD I pray for them today, they are being mistreated and abused by their caretakers. LORD I pray that YOU will hear their cries and act on this. I pray for each elder person who is suffering at the hands of someone in a senior position. I pray LORD that Your Holy Spirit will touch their lives, bring them to repentance and may they serve You LORD.  I call out to YOU today in the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Amen.

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

#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...
