Thank You #Lord #JesusChrist


Isaiah 41:13
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, 'Do not fear; I will help you.'

These past couples of days have been hectic in my own life and that of the lives of my family.  My mom and oom Frik have been under the threat of being evicted and needed somewhere to stay.  Bless Andus in his work today, give him supernatural favor with each and every person today, Lord blesses him in all his work.  Lord guides him and protects him.  Let no harm come to him.  I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over his life.

Praise the Lord our God for open the right doors for them to move into a big beautiful flat.  God is so gracious and He is constantly looking out for our wellbeing.

I believe with my entire heart and mind that my God hears my prayers and I just need to learn to trust Him more.  I bring You all the Praise, worship and adorations I can think of Lord Jesus Christ.

Father thank You for open doors, open hearts, and open lives, Thank You that You are in control over our lives and that You have made a way for all of us.


We praise You and worship at Your feet.  Love You, with all my heart, body and soul.  Amen

Book Review - The Last Best Thing

Book Review:                                   The Last Best Thing
Author:                                              Kate Sebeny
Personal Quality Rating:                  3           

Summary:

This Novella is written using the setting of the farm in Iowa.  A short story not more than 84 pages starts off with a statement from Sam.  The characters in the story are all in the retired years, people that have come together due to circumstances.

Betty’s daughter Libby comes to live with her mother to help her aging father who suffers from Alzheimer’s and Betty’s friends Sam and Sarah and Joe.  The story takes a turn when one of the characters needs help in committing suicide.  This happens suddenly and to be honest I didn’t expect it from this person as they supposedly loved the other person. 

A lot of bantering takes place which makes the story enjoyable to read.  Then a twist in the story takes place when someone turns up that the farm house inquiring about the deceased person.

Social / Historical Context:

The normal day-to-day living in a very tight community of no more than 5 people and what they do and talk about.  It was amazing to see how these old folk adjusted and helped each other.  They seemed to be living life as it presented itself to them.  I felt the hardship they were facing and yet it was not that difficult as they had each other comradery.

 It reminded me of my mom in some way the way she is aging and how thin she too was.  The way they cope with matters and be what they are there and then.

Writing Style:

The writing style to my mind is common place.  It narrated a relationship with each other out of circumstances and friendships.  The writer seems to understand the aging process and has sympathy with the characters.

It narrates a group of elderly people living together due to circumstance beyond their control.

My Thoughts:

The story depicted a telling of aging people, circumstances that made for an unforeseen decision on a suicide or was it a murder or was it euthanasia?  The person that assisted with the act of taking care of this person dilemma didn’t consider their own conscience and the impact of their decision later on.  

As fiction I think was very close to real life experience and the problems that elderly people face with sickness and misfortune.

Book Review - Woman to Woman

Name of the Book:                         Woman to Woman
Author:                                           Joyce Meyer
Personal Quality Rating:                5

Summary

I love reading books that were written by this author; she is focused on teaching the Word of God and explaining how we are able to incorporate the word into our daily lives.  Woman to woman is one of those books that touch every aspect of a woman’s life.

The writer focuses on key issues that affect each and every woman at some stage in their lives.  I have found that each of these issues that have been highlighted was prevalent at some time in my life.   
The book is easy to read and understand; constantly bringing the reader back to the Word of God with scriptures that make it understandable and how to incorporate the word into your own life.

I believe that because experienced each of the issues she highlighted it was easy to express her in such a way that other woman could relate.  The woman of today has a lot on their plates and as the writer says we all wear different “hats”. 

Social/Historical Context

Woman to woman is based on the writers live experiences and how she learned to trust in God Almighty with all the issues she faced.  The message she wants to bring across is that we can do even better when we have someone on our team.  That someone is the Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe because the writer has a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ it is possible for her to reveal all the key elements to make one journey that much easier.

Writing Style

The writer definitely knows what she is talking about; she has personal experience in these matters and has valid answers which can assist woman in similar circumstances.  The writing style is common place as well as evocation.    The writer is narrating her own life story and how she dealt with numerous circumstances with an ability to constantly draw on God’s help.

My thoughts

As Christian woman today we need to learn how to deal with issues in our lives, the writer has the ability to bring the Word of God into her writing, based on facts and circumstances.  The writer has to my mind a living relationship with the Lord God.

I believe many of the key issues that the writer wrote about are exactly what I have been struggling with in my own life and now I can see another person’s perspective on how to deal and relate to these issues.


You cannot fail in purchasing this book, it can only help you move forward in life and help you build a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.  Yes, I would definitely say this is a good read and you cannot go wrong in reading this well written, easy to read Book.

Where do you let #God #fit into your #life?


You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect).  Matthew 22: 37

Sunday has its perks we go to Church, teach Sunday School, enjoy lunch with our families, take a nap get ready for the evening and then go to bed.

It’s Monday and we are all busy, today my life is a little different it is raining here in the “heartland” and we cannot do what we normally do.  There are no ways we can do our washing and get it hang out on the washing line.  It will be soaking wet with rain water.

As I was thinking about this I have been asking the Lord God for raining probably the whole of last week, each day walking outside and asking “Lord where is the rain?”  No rain today with all my washing lying in the washing machine, I see God sent me the rain I was asking Him about.

Now, where is God in my life?  I am serious, actively and positively looking to find God in each aspect of my entire life. 

I believe that I love the Lord my God with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind.  I truly believe that is how I feel about God.

Today I want you to think about your position to God.  Where do you fit God in?  Is God alive and well with you? 

We know that God has been around for ever and ever look at the word Colossians 1 verse 17 says “and He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, and held together).”  To my mind God is with me right this very minute and I love Him with all my heart and mind.


If you aren’t sure where God is in your life, take a moment and mediate on His word, find time and spend it with Him.  Invite Him back into Your life again.  Without God we are nothing.

Electricity and Water Issues – Mpumalanga Witbank South Africa


As a resident of this place I truly am so upset, we cannot do much about it because it seems this place is out to take every little bit out of their residence.  The municipality owes Eskom so much money and has not paid the bill for the usage of Electricity.  Let me tell you something if we miss one payment they cut off the electricity and make you pay penalty fees to have it switched back on.

We also suffer the inconvenience of no electricity which also affects our water.  The water, by the way, is another story all on its own.  If you drink this water you will really be violently sick.  Resulting in us needing to buy bottled water which cost us more, as we are paying for water at home too.

As a stay home mom, I cannot do my washing on Mondays because the electricity is switched off at 06h00 am to 08h00 am and the water is non-existent.  To top it off tonight we go through the same thing again from 17h00 to 19h30 pm no lights.  Don’t be misled this will happen on a daily basis the weekend is no different.  We are paying Sandton rates and tax’s in Witbank.


My question is why must the people who are paying their bills to be affected by
the negligence of the municipality?  We are being kept accountable for their mistakes.  What is going to become of our cities?
