Yeah, I know it’s not December, but I am reaching the conclusion of the challenge I set for myself back at the beginning of December. 30 Days of Thanksgiving. Not that the Thanksgiving is coming to an end, though. Therein lies the meaning of the last entry on December Thanksgiving. It is truly something wonderful […]
Read More December Thanks #30: EternityI will not forget what God has done for me and my family in 2016. He has definitely exceeded my expectations in ways I truly never even contemplated before. On this basis I am grateful for the memories of His faithfulness and goodness and look forward to discovering more of His greatness to those that […]
Read More December Thanks #29: Memories2016 has been another year of my growing appreciation for WhatsApp, YouTube, Twitter, WordPress and other means of electronic communication. They have been means by which I have been a recipient of the word and been a conveyor of the word. The word has come in greatly through those means. It has been a reminder […]
Read More December Thanks #28: CommunicationLife teaches me more and more that it’s not good that I should be alone. And that solitude can be a remarkably good discipline to pursue. Apparently some streams of Christianity highlight solitude as an important spiritual discipline, which I still find a little odd. Prayer I can see, fasting I can definitely appreciate, but […]
Read More December Thanks #25: SolitudeI had never met him before in my life. The circumstances were strange to me as well and at first I was not that comfortable. I know I can be a little odd and am not the world’s most sociable creatures at the best of times, but this environment certainly made me more inclined to […]
Read More December Thanks #24: ConversationThere are few physical experiences more satisfying than that of the sensations received on the completion of a great meal. My upbringing instilled a great respect for engaging with the plate of food set before us and finishing every part of the meal. Leftovers were rare. That was usually because the meal that was prepared […]
Read More December Thanks #23: FoodOne word of great importance that was jeopardised was the word intimacy. So precious and meaningful is that word that it is open to misinterpretation and abuse. Thus I am particularly thankful that this concept has been emphasised in the last year. The type of relationship God has always desired with me is an intimate […]
Read More December Thanks #22: IntimacyI am very thankful for a faithful God. He evidently knows more than I do in so many different areas of life. This year has been so full of examples of Him expressing faithfulness where others lacked it. Consistency is something that friends and I admire a great deal and we aspire to a standard […]
Read More December Thanks #21: FaithfulnessThere are some truly exhilarating moments in life. Following Jesus has some points in it that are tear-inducing in its sheer joy and exuberance. It can get really marvellous. Of course it’s not always like that. Sometimes it can be confusing. Sometimes it can appear humdrum. Sometimes it can be drab and dreary. There are […]
Read More December Thanks #20: PerseveranceThis year saw the birth of Christopher Journeyman. A big reason for that was my recognition of the importance of the journey in my life and what it was to pay more attention to that. Who set the journey, the purpose of the journey, the scenery in the journey, the stops along the journey, the […]
