Hillsong - At the Cross - With Subtitles/Lyrics

Since I have just written about my daughter Femia,
I felt I would like to feature one of her friends, Darlene

I first met Darlene at Femia's home about twenty three years ago.
They both have similar personalities.
Both are gentle sweet women who love Jesus.
They were expecting their first baby, and later, both gave birth to daughters.

 Darlene is now famous and travels the world, spreading the gossip in song.
She sings like an angel...

I PRAY you listen careful to the words of this song...
It will touch your heart with love for Jesus..
And all He did for us.

At The Cross, Jesus Gave His life, For Me. 
He is the only person in history, to do this!

Happy Birthday Femia

On Wednesday the 20th September my eldest daughter Femia celebrated her 45th birthday.
Her hubby was working so I invited her to lunch with us at Gunabul Homestead.
I love the serenity of this place.

Built to withstand the strong Queensland heat the ceilings are 17 ft high.

 

Femia, Shiarni, Ray, Daniella and I.

There were only five of us. 

Shiarn wanted to show Aunty Femia how long she could handstand.

 Daughter Femia granddaughter Shiarn with mother, my daughter Daniella. 

 

 Yes she is really a blond..

As a teenager Femia, known as Mia, was a top fashion Sydney model working for Chadwick's Model Management.

She appeared on the catwalk, in magazines, on television and in a movie.

She could have gone on and on.

However, she choose as a Christian to follow Jesus and what he ordered for her life.

Today she is a wife to David, 

a mother of three 

a photographer to many Christian leaders.

And a Christian Counsellor.

God loves you Femia and so do all who know you.

You are a blessing to all.

"Many women do noble things,
   but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
   but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
   and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."

Proverbs 31:29-31

Schools Take Note.

Thank you so much Child of God...
I thougth we should share it with the world..
So all of you parents and teachers out there take heed....
We are all accountable for our actions.

"Bring up a child the way he is to go, and he will remain with it all of his life. "
Proverbs 22:6

All About Nancy

Nancy is my closest spiritual friend.
We live miles apart yet I am forever mindful of her.
When we first met, we were both strangers to a new town.
Both nurses, both with European cultural backgrounds and both joining the same church.
Now all of that goes to make a great connection.
She, like I, is exuberant about life, she laughs till she cries, and sees beauty in everything.
Nancy, is so near to my heart.
We were very close, going out together, sharing all our inmost secrets...
And never, taking offense with the other. 
Nancy is a soul mate, someone with whom my soul connects.

You all know I have been unable to get around as freely as I did.
It's getting better and with Rays help, I attended church yesterday for the first time in two months.
But on friday a parcel was delivered to my door.
It took me ages to walk and collect it as Ray had gone out.
What a surprise!!
It was from Nancy...
I cried as I opened it and saw all the love in special gifts from her and other friends.
Wonderful notes expressing love and care were tenderly read.
Thank you my sweet sisters-in-Christ..
Just to be remembered~ ~ meant to much.
So on here I want to thank them all.
Thank you Nancy.
Thank you Sister Jean.
Thank you Sister Zena and Sister Prima..
I Love You All. You made my day!!

"Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. 

Don't only think about your own affairs, 

but be interested in others too, 

and what they are doing "

(Philippians 2:3-4 )

Feeling Sorry For Yourself?

                                                                        Michael Oher

I guess we all feel sorry for ourselves at times...
However, it doesn't get you anywhere if you let it control your life..

Life goes on and we can accept our lot, of continually blame it for not blossoming.

Last night I watched a POWERFUL DVD....  'The Blind Side'

It was the real life story of a big hearted young man named Michael Oher who was a homeless child from a very young age.

In his own words, Michael says he doesn't hold grudges against anyone for the misfortune he encountered as a child.
"I don't dwell on anything,
I'm not going to feel sorry for myself because I didn't have a place to stay a lot of time.
It is what it is.
We've got to go through some things in life.
Take it and run with it."

I have ordered this DVD for my children for Christmas..
It has a valuable lesson..
It's not where you come from, but where you are going in the future.
Let Christ Shine in Your Life.

Jeremiah  1:5                                                                                                                        

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,                                                        

Before you were born..... I set you apart'"

Never Give Up

Sometimes Life Is So Hard.....But!

Psalm 46:1 
God is my refuge and strength and very present help in times of trouble.

Lord How Do I Pray?

Walking down the road of life, what problems will cross our paths today?

The Bible tells us.

There are three ways we defeat the enemy (satan).

1. By the blood of the Lamb (Jesus)

                                          2. By the WORD of our Testimony
                                          3. By using the NAME of Jesus.
                                           (Revelation 12:11   Philippians 2:10-11)

So, Speak that Word out loud, as a Testimony of faith and stand on Gods Promises.

This Prayer was composed by Dr Derek Prince.....

A Daily Prayer Of Confidence

It is written in the Word Of God, Isaiah  54:27
No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper and every tongue which rises against me in judgement, I do condemn. This is my heritage as a servant of the Lord and my righteousness is from you, Oh Lord of Hosts.
If there are anyone who is speaking of praying against me, OR seeking evil towards me, or have rejected me, I forgive them! Having forgiven them, I Bless Them In The Name Of Jesus.
Now I declare Oh Lord, that you and you alone are my God, and besides you there is no other. You are a just God and Saviour, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. I worship you with all my heart.
I submit myself to you today afresh in unreserved obedience.
Having submitted to you Lord, I do as your Word directs.
I resist the devil and all his pressures, his attaches, deceptions and every instrument and agent he would seek to use against me. I DO NOT SUBMIT TO HIS WAYS.
I resist him, drive him from me and exclude him from me, in the name of Jesus.
Specifically I reject and repel:
Infirmity,  Pain,  Infection,  Inflammation,  Allergies, Viruses,  Malignancies, and every Form Of Witchcraft.  
Finally Lord, I thank you that through the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, I have passed out from under the curse and entered into the Blessings of Abraham, with whom You have Blessed all things.
I am now Blessed with all things which include: Prosperity,  Victory,  and Gods favour.
In the Name of Jesus I thank You. Amen and Amen.

RESTORATION

There is no one alive who hasn't suffered Hurt, Pain, Humiliation and
Frustration.  
I don't know why I am writing about this today? Or maybe I do...
Yesterday I had the wonderful privilege of being visited by three special ladies.
First came my daughter Daniella, bouncing into the house with her usual vibrant self, coming to share with mum.

 Then I received a phone call from Lynn, 'would I like a visit?' She came bearing a meal and prayers.
Finally Dawn, another sweet lady came.... another two meals, and much sharing.

I can look back over the years and remember times of need when no one came.
When I felt alone and deserted.

As people read what I am writing, many could never imagine, what my past has been, or what I have come through... Much I have blanked out because of the pain.

We all have a story to tell. 
All of us walk through life hopefully learning lessons and gaining wisdom.
Becoming Better and not Bitter.
Wisdom only comes by realisation and understanding. 

Many feel in times of desolation that God is punishing, or that He is not there, He simply doesn't exist.
Yet if God did not allow us to have a free will of discovery we would never experience the trails we do..
We would never learn to pray or come before him..

"For when we are weak, He is strong."  2 Corinthians 12 :10.

We would never understand the joy of having restored, all the devil has taken from us.


"And I will restore to you, the years the locust hath eaten."
Joel 2:25

Real Life

Being incapacitated has some advantages.
I have been watching a television series on DVD which apparently was run on television, a good few years ago.
It wasn't exceptionally thrilling, spine chilling or funny, yet it captivated the life struggles of that time.
Watching it took me back to being a child growing up in the nineteen fifties,when life was a struggle.
Personally, I didn't realise as much of this at the time, as my mother and elder siblings would have.
We children, lived our lives as many others did... in acceptance.
Life was as it was, we didn't argue or question.

One thing I do know was nothing was taken for granted, and the tiniest gift was received with absolute joy.
Many who read this will no doubt share some of these memories.

Our toilet was way up the back yard, probably because of the smell, and mum grew honeysuckle close by.
There was no such thing as soft toilet paper..unless of course we had scored a box of apples all wrapped in that wonderful soft tissue, it was recycled carefully and used with appreciation..
Otherwise, it was newspaper, ripped and tacked to the unlined wall.

Baths were Saturday night. Wood was collected and the washing copper lit to heat the water.
When hot, this was dippered into the bath. The first bather got about a foot of water, the last bather perhaps two feet, as it was topped up and re-used.
Mum sewed most of our clothes and then they were patched and handed down.
New curtains were rare and the old ones were cut up into a new dress of skirt.
Good clothes were only for good and we took great care not to tear or soil them.
We changed as soon as we arrived home it was a priority. And we wore them as many times as possible before they were washed.
Why? because washing aged them.
Men's shirt collars were replaced as they wore out faster than the rest of the shirt.
This was a slow careful job of removing the old and hand sewing on the new.

You knew your neighbours and everyone cared and shared your joys and sorrows.

Yes I enjoyed watching the series of The Harp of the South, and Poor Mans Orange...
Taken from the books by Ruth Parkes an Australian author.
Yet no matter what country you grew up in in those days, life was pretty much the same.
And...Blessings were counted.

"Count your many blessings name them one by one, 

count your blessings see what God has done.

Count your blessings,.... name then one by one, 

and it will surprise you what the Lord has done."

Ruled by Baboons

 

 It's September...and spring in the Land of Oz.

 

 

 

 

 You gotta laugh...it makes your day.

Got this in an email:

We are all familiar with 

a Herd of cows, 

a Flock of chickens, 

a School of  fish    

and a Gaggle of geese.  

A Pride of lions, 

a Murder of crows.

An Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a    Parliament of  owls.  

Now consider a group  of Baboons. 

They are the loudest, most dangerous, most  obnoxious, most viciously    aggressive and least intelligent of  all primates.  

And what is the proper collective noun for  a group of baboons? 

Believe it or not  ........ They are called a Congress!  

I  guess that pretty much explains the things that come out  of    Washington and Canberra (Oz)!!

 

 

Am I being mean... ?
