I am fussy on quite a number of things. More fussy than I admit at times. That has sometimes limited my experience. I appreciate all the more how difference and a variety of it can be beneficial. Take church for example. I grew up with a limited and limiting perspective on the Body of Christ. […]
Read More Thank God for … VarietyConversation can be a beautiful thing. I have found sometimes a good conversation can be better than a good meal. Just to share ideas, concerns, thoughts. It’s great. In relating to God, some followers still underestimate the value of prayer as critical in the divine conversation. It’s either treated with neglect or disrespect. It’s like […]
Read More Thank God for … PrayerIt’s worth listening to children and the amazing hearts they have. In listening to one recently, I was taken aback with the level of concern they expressed for those in Third World countries. Recognising their own materially privileged circumstances, they had a heart to help those who were not even able to access bare minimal […]
Read More Thank God for … CompassionIt’s one of the most relieving truths to embrace – there is forgiveness. Years of being burdened with the issues of what happened yesterday and the day before. Fear of rejection, crumbling inside and the thought of if I could ever be accepted and loved again. Accepting His outstretched arms to embrace. Accepting His love […]
Read More Thank God for … ForgivenessLife can get so overwhelming that from day to day it can appear just a burden. The mistakes of yesterday, those flaws that were displayed, the hurt caused. As well as problems that were not of your own making still to be resolved. Responsibilities in these circumstances just comes across so overbearing. I am so […]

Indeed I was checking out the brilliant YouTube channel Crash Course […]
Read More Thank God for … ChildbirthThere’s no need to think about there being a reason for everything. I think getting hung up on the reason for anything and everything distracts from the things that matter. Identity is something I have got hung up on for years. One of the reassuring things about having good people in my life is they […]
Read More Thank God for … PurposeThe 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 […]
Read More Thank God for … WholenessI 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 […]
