"May the best day of your past Be the worst day of your future." My Dad always wished me this Irish Blessing and I want it to matter today and every other day in my life.

‘n Man sien nie altyd dinge soos ons dit sien nie.
Ek dink byvoorbeeld aan die naweek, my man, is eintlik baie
oulik, hy probeer altyd verstaan wat ek doen en probeer my altyd
ondersteun. Ek weet hy he dat ek altyd spesiaal moet voel. Ons kan ook soms mekaar misverstaan. Dis regtig so, ek sal iets doen wat hy net
nie kan verstaan nie. Hy se ook ek
verstaan jou nie. Ek het toe vir hom die
naweek gese ‘jy moet my nie verstaan nie, dis jou werk om my net lief te he.’
Hoekom is hy speciaal vir my? Wel op die oomblik is hy die enigste een wat
presies weet wat in my lewe aan die gang is.
Ek praat natuurlik met my kinders maar daar is goed wat ek nie met almal
deel nie. Dis persoonlik en omdat dit
persoonlik is weet hy daarvan.
So my liewe man net ‘n woordtjie: ek dink jy is wonderlik met jou eienaardige
insigte, ek is lief vir jou met al jou snaakse idees. Ek waardeer dat jy my nie inperk nie en dat
jy my die Vryheid gee om te kan lewe soos ek wil. Baie dankie.
Mag jy ‘n wonderlik dag geniet by die werk en wanneer jy
huis toe kom hoop ek jy sal darem iets van my kan verstaan. Of nie!

Jordan
2 Kings 2 (Amplified Bible)
11 As they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses
of fire parted the two of them, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it and he cried, My father, my father! The chariot of
Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own
clothes and tore them in two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and went back
and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
There comes a time when we all have to face our ‘Jordan’
when something happens and we need to take over from our peers.
As Elijah was preparing Elisha for the job at hand they were
strolling down and all of a sudden out from the heavens came a chariot of fire
and horses of fire which parted both Elijah and Elisha. Thinking about that I was struck by the
description of how the Lord sent a chariot from heaven to pick Elijah up and
bring him into heaven. Totally amazing
was this and must have struck Elisha as wonderful.
Elisha wanted to be as good as Elijah. Now he didn’t have his mentor anymore, he had
to get up and move on. He could stand
around and mope all day but he took the mantle for Elijah that fell to the
ground and threw it over his shoulders.
Reading him to take up his position.
He started doing exactly what Elijah taught him.
Take up your position as you go through your Jordan, live
starts now. It won’t be easy but you can
do this. You have been preparing for so
long.

People I draw towards myself
One of the problems I have is that I am a very judgemental
person. I can listen to a conversation
in within minutes deduct what kind of person I am dealing with. The problem with that is that I have become
too judging. Now the Lord truly has a
good sense of humour, He gave me to look after a teenager who is just so
judging.
My problem isn’t the fact that I can discern what the person
is like, my problem is that I draw these kinds of people towards me
constantly. I need help because I need
to learn the lesson and move on. What
must I do to stop the judgemental attitude?
Lord help me!
