Thank God for … Wholeness

The journey of following Jesus is about living in the now and the yet to come. So His Kingdom is now and yet to come. His presence is here now and He is yet to come. One particular truth in this series is the life of wholeness. A restored relationship with God actually declares wholeness […]

Thank God for … Nourishment

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 […]

Thank God for … Caring

It’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 […]

Thank God for … Story

It’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 […]

Thank God for … Humour

Just 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 […]

Thank God for … Jokers

Whether 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 […]

Thank God for … Team

I 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 […]

Thank God for … Light

In 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 […]

Thank God for … Questions

My life is based on questions. The answers given to these questions are interesting, especially when they are investigated closely. So many based on assumptions rarely explored and hardly challenged. That’s why I love probing questions that challenge me to explore further and deeper into the issue. Sure I like answers as well as questions, […]

Finding Reasons To Be Grateful

The day did not work out as planned. The assignment that needed to be finished was held up for a number of factors most of which were out of your control. You felt off at work with some of your work colleagues and you’re not sure if your manager has the same positive sentiments to […]
