I love the concept of being nourished. It’s not just having food and drink physically, it’s more than that. It’s that which maintains complete health – food, drink, conversation, bathing, etc. Sometimes I hear of those who lack essential resources like clean water. Efforts are made to supply it by the caring and compassionate. Yet […]
Read More Thank God for … NourishmentIt’s rare that I am given me the room to express myself with the opportunity to be heard and understood. It’s rare that concern is given over my welfare with the patient hope of seeing each of these met. It is rare but it happens. For that I am grateful. For His Name’s Sake Shalom […]
Read More Thank God for … CaringIt’s sad that when the word ‘story’ is used the connecting thought is that what is about to be told is not true. Great truths are conveyed and embedded in story. It’s such a powerful tool of communication that to limit it to make believe is a sad thing. Story has moved me more than […]
Read More Thank God for … StoryJust to be clear. The last entry about jokers was certainly not a compliment to that kind of joker. As opposed to this entry where I am definitely grateful for people who make me laugh … for good reasons. When I think about it, there’s quite a number of people who make me laugh because […]
Read More Thank God for … HumourWhether they know they’re jokers or not, the antics of jokers keeps me amused and then wary of my own tendency to be a joker. By a joker, I am not referring to a homicidal maniac who seeks to cause chaos for the sake of it as well as to annoy Batman. Neither am I […]
Read More Thank God for … JokersI have done the loner bit for a long time. Sometimes the nature of my employment has reinforced the lone ranger approach. In as much as the employer might give platitudes about being in a team, day to day reality suggests otherwise. In recent times, I have not only acknowledged the value of teams but […]
Read More Thank God for … TeamIn a world of darkness, it makes such a difference. In a world of ignorance, it is transformative. In a world of confusion, it delivers clarity. It may not change those entrenched in their dark, ignorant confusion, but those who come across it can never deny it even as they neglect it. Life would make […]
Read More Thank God for … LightI don’t keep a diary, but sometimes I make notes. As a result there are notes of things I have thought over the years. From time to time I enjoy reflecting on those words and where I was when I wrote them. There have been some really dark times in my life. Truly, deeply dark. […]
Read More Thank God for … Dark TimesI love the saying, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. I have spent years drinking in lots of information from books and visual media. Back in the day my best friend was the library. I don’t regret those days, I read some good books and watched some fascinating documentaries. What has happened […]
Read More Thank God for … ConnectionsThe senses are a wonder. All of them are worth appreciating especially in how they connect with our minds to shape and define our world. Being able to hear is a sense I am keen to celebrate. The worlds that open up at the soundscapes that my ears have been blessed by over the years […]
