Yvette's Whispers of Faith

I have been working for more than 20 years and I have never had the opportunity to stay home and enjoy a peaceful life.   My days were getting up at 05h00 am in the morning, reading my Bible, praying for my friends and family.   Getting ready for work and then starting my day.   Waking my children and getting in my car driving to work.   This past couple of years I have been blessed in that I am at home and I can enjoy going out in the morning and sit in the sun and enjoy the day with a nice cup of tea and feel the heat of the sun on my face.   My little yorkies are so cute they run around the yard like two little bucks jumping and playing with the cat.   I have come to realise that I can bloom just where I find myself.   The Lord has brought me into this place to take a break and rest in Him.   My husband is wonderful and he looks after me and takes good care of me and the children.   I miss my family, my own children but I realise...

As a step mother I have been watching over two young children, they are my husband’s two kids; and I wonder at the things these two get up to.   The one can come up with the most fascinating stories, this happened today and that happened today.   If anyone else says something like ‘I had a dream last night’ and then proceeds to tell of their dream.   The other child would just would interrupt the story telling and tell you their dream was scarier and more exciting.   I find they are competing with one another all the time. It seems that they both lack in listening skills, they hear when you talk to them but they never really seem to listen to the request or statement.   It is really difficult to work with them as they both seem to be in competition with me and want to make me stand in their shadow. At first it worked on my nervous and now I just look at them and wonder what they hope to active by acting like they do.   One day hopefully when they ...

I never used to think it hard work being a ‘house wife’.   Really what exactly does one do?   Its cleaning and washing and ironing and of course some cooking.   Taking the kids to school and collecting them after school.   How much work can this possible be?   To my surprise I am working much hard now than I worked in an office.   I do make time for my Bible reading and prayers.   I also see if I can watch a movie sometimes but most of the time I am running off my feet. Today I tried to read my book on the Last sin eater.   This is something that has me thinking, the people in Wales had a beggar come to the house of the person that had passed away and gave him a piece of bread and something to drink.   This would absolve the dead person’s sins and give them right of way into heaven.   The poor beggar got a piece of bread and something to drink at a high price.   I believe however that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins an...

Do you also enjoy a clean house?   I love staying in an organised clean house, I know where everything is and I like to find it in its place.   Something the children are learning these days.   If you don’t put it back in its place you will not find it again. These two are really very relaxed and when it comes to cleaning up they just don’t make it.   I am very strict and I want the house to say clean and tidy. So as for me I want a clean house and I insist on it.   I don’t like clutter and I make a sure the kids know that.   Will they every learn I wonder.   Actually I do believe they will, I think of my own 3 and I know that they are doing very well and they too have clean houses.   Thank you Lord for the wisdom and understanding and the fact that You too enjoy a clean house.   Lord please bless my hands as I work today and help me do the best that I can to ensure that we live in a clean house.   Knowing that You love a clean house ...
