Our daily Bread

Things are not always as they seem in most people’s lives and believe me it seems the same way looking into my own life.  I must tell you that as far as I am concerned God is so faithful in supplying our ‘daily bread’ you cannot believe.

I have not been working many months and really it has been so difficult but I can tell you that not once have me or my family gone to bed without a good meal.

Exodus 16 : 4 ‘Then the LORD said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you.  The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day.  In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. 3 On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”

Speaking to people I realised that we are all depended on our LORD God.  We can only go and say thank You for our daily Bread.  LORD God in the name of my LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ ‘Thank You.’

Happy Birthday Mommy - 68 years young today!!

Your 68 years young today

A beautiful and gracious lady mommy, at your age you have seen and lived through so much.  God has blessed you with two daughters and a son and seven grandchildren, two great grandchildren.  Awesome!  What a crown to wear around your head knowing that you have been able to see your great grandchildren.

Facing each day as it comes along keeping your head up and working through your own problems, checking on your children and their children.  Listening to all the complaints and giving good advice.  A well balanced life with loads of fun and laughter, you are so blessed mommy.

This year wasn’t easy for any of us and we have made it this far, how great it is to know you are able to face another year with all of us.  We absolutely love and adore you, you have so much going for you and we know God is in control keeping you healthy and looking out for your every day.

My sister is a star, she looks after our mother very nicely, without her help I am sure life would have turned out really badly for mommy.  Zelda you are really a pillar of support to mommy and oom Frik.  Without you their lives would be a disaster, praise the Lord that you have such a generous heart and that you are always looking for ways to help and support them.

God will provide according to your needs and He will bless you richly Zelda, thank you so much.

Kill that snake

I had a dream last night and in my dream I saw a snake crawling into my bird’s cage and swallowed the little bird.  I was so made that I ran to the cage opened the little door pulled the snake out by its head and with my two hands gripped it by the head.  I put my fingers under its chin and over its head and started to squeeze its head until I saw the snake’s eye pop.

To me I feel that God has confirmed to me that I am dealing with stuff in my life and I have the victory.  I believe God loves me and that He sent his only son to die on the cross for my sins.  In Luke 12: 27 ‘consider the lilies how they grow:  they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.’  

Colossians 4: 6 Your words should always be with grace, as if seasoned with salt, and be aware how it is appropriate for you to answer each man.

Let’s consider each other, dealing with people in a gentle and kind way.  I find that we all have issues and some of us are such drama queens.  Take control over your thoughts, and remember that you can overcome whatever is in your life right now.  Asking the Lord Jesus Christ to help you, face your problems and kill them one by one and you will see the victory at hand.

God bless you and may you also be victorious today.

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

Lord restores me back to, You

Looking at the people around me makes me wonder is it only me that is trying to draw near to God, is it only me that feels so convicted.  Am I the only person worried about the end of my life?  I look at myself and keep on judging me, how I speak to people, what my reaction is towards everyone around me.  I try and consider everybody these days, I look at them and think before I speak.  Being careful not to speak out what I feel.  

The change is taking forever, I look at myself and cry many a day and wonder Lord am I getting closer to You?  I fall all the time and it seems when I get up and dust myself off I walk a short way and trip and fall again.  I have a bad temper and I speak many times before I think.  

Proverbs 14: 12 There is a way that seem right to a man, but its end is … death.  Daniel 4: 37 Pride is dangerous, it forces you to lie in a helpless state for days, sometimes years.  If you don’t ask for help immediately, you could have gotten up and gone on with your life. 

As for me, I have found that the most difficult time in my life is now, the challenge I face with myself is the fact that I am doing what I can to draw near to the Lord and the more I try the harder I fall.  I keep finding myself crying out to the Lord for help.  

Keeping watch over my mouth and looking at my circumstance, I hope and pray the Lord will accept my humble prayer and let me draw near to Him.  Amen
