thank you Lord!!

Thanksgiving

South Africans don’t celebrate thanksgiving but as a South African I would like to bring all glory and honour to the Lord my God.  I want to say Lord Jesus thank you for the opportunity to come to You in humbleness and say thank you for another day.  Thank you Lord for the clothes I have to wear and the food I can eat.  Thank you Lord for my own car to drive with diesel in it.  Even in my hour of stress and facing all the storms in my life I am still grateful to come into Your presence and bring You honour and glory.

Thank you Lord for my husband, children, step children and grandchildren, each one of them are precious in my eyes.  Lord thank you that You are there for me, guiding me and teaching me.  I pray for the courage I need to face tomorrow and I ask for the wisdom and insight to understand what I need to understand.  Thank You for You loving kindness and most of all that You are my Lord and saviour.  Most of all that I can call on You.  Thank You Lord Jesus, I want to ask You humbly help me become a new creature in Jesus.  I am the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ.

People that cause diarrhea in my life .....

I have come to the conclusion the people I ‘thought’ had it all together really didn’t have it ‘all together’.  These people have more problems than what I have.  Yes, my life as far as I am concerned is arduous but let me tell you theirs are worse.  I have noticed people needed to be noticed; the hunger for attention is so huge that their so called good demeanour fades away and they become dragons.  They seem to have split personalities and their personalities are really bad ones.  

I wonder if it is the result of drinking water in this place.  These people don’t really buy water they actually drink the water here.  How can you identify them, they can drink the water without suffering of diarrhea.

My analysis – these women lust after men, they lust after the ‘thought’ of being single and able to hop into bed with any and every man they like.  Their lust after fame and fortune seems to chase them.  Anyone they encounter that seems to be in control over their own lives is a threat to them.

What to do?  I need to consider my options and how to deal with these fickle people.  One thing is for sure, I will take this matter to the Lord in prayer, I will pray about their attitudes towards me and hope that mine will be the better and that God will help me deal with their immature manners.

Island of Spice - Grenada

Grenada – Island of Spice

Looking at my blog stats I have noticed that someone in Grenada is reading my blog.  How awesome is that!  As far as I know Grenada is an island of spice and it most probably is a beautiful place to live. 

 The people living in Grenada are probably on holiday 24/7.  I am sure they live their lives of peace, love, happiness, kindness, honesty, enthusiasm; they must be open-minded and spontaneous.   Passionate about life!

I wonder what kinds of jobs if any would people in Grenada be doing?  Growing some kind of spice?  I wonder what their religion would be and would they also believe in Jesus Christ or not?   

I suppose there must be very wealthy people living there with big ships in the harbour.  Hmmm what do you say?  Would you let me know how wonderful it is to live in your country?

Rubbish in Rubbish out . . . . God in ... God out!

Psalm 145: 20 ‘He protects everyone who loves him, but he will destroy the wicked.’ 

Starting my day I went out to drop off a jumping castle to a crèche.  As we drove up to the school I noticed that the black dustbin bags were lying outside the gate.  One of the bags has been opened and rubbish was strewn around the gate.

Both I and my step daughter looked at it and though that perhaps they could have gotten another bag and picked up the rubbish.  Obviously it doesn’t bother them. 

It seems life has truly changed to such an extent that most people are too busy to clean up around them.  They don’t mind a little mess; someone else will clean up after them.  Hmm

It is my prayer that the Lord will protect me, I love Him and I really want to please Him.  I don’t want the wicked to be destroyed but that they may be saved.   The truth of the matter is they don’t care about God and all this stuff, they will still live as they have because they don’t think it’s wrong.

Silver and Gold

‘All the silver and gold of the world is mine.’ Hag. 2: 8

As I started my day I walked into my study and prayed Lord please give me a word for today.  I like to receive a promise out of the Lords little box of promises which I keep on my desk.  I opened the lid of this little green box and took a card out and this was the promise.

‘All the silver and gold of the world is mine.’  How awesome is that!  It is because that means when God wants to He can give to whom He feels like.

Be grateful for your ‘silver and gold’ you never know when God can stop the flow of it.

Thank You Lord for the ‘silver and gold’ You give into my life.  Amen
