Bridge Building

I was amazed to see this bridge being constructed in China.
I suppose it is one way of getting from one place to another.

How safe does it look??

Many.... I for one, would never venture on this structure. 

And yet how many other risks do we take in life??

And how many do we take with death??

I have a faith in Jesus Christ.

From what I have learnt, he was the only God who came to earth and gave His life.

His Tomb is Empty.

Was he a risk taker?

He gave His life so that we may gain eternal life.

How many people believe this? 

For those who don't....  Where will they spend eternity?

Some believe in reincarnation?

I prefer the belief of a paradise in Heaven,  

than a continual return to sickness and sorrow on earth.

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.  

I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.  

 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. 

They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 

‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. 

There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

No Acting God

I am not God and neither are you.
Only God is God, and yet....

Many people expect others to have, all the answers??
They place their problem onto someone else and expect them to make it right!
It is not nice when you are put in this situation, neither is it fair.

When others do this, it is very selfish..
After all no-one in the world has it perfect!!

Everyone has problems!!
And...praise God that it is so.
Trouble and strife keeps us humble.

The good news is:
All we can do,  is put our faith in God.

All we can do is, become as a little child...

Our Heavenly Father tells us.
"My child, pay attention to what I say.

Listen carefully to my words.
Don’t lose sight of them.
Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
for they bring life to those who find them,
and healing to their whole body."
Proverbs 4:20-22

Gods Word is Truth!!
Read this over and over..
And believe.
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers, 
neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate ME from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39

Rejoice in your heart!!
Allow yourself to let this sink deep within your soul.
God has all in hand..

God says this, I believe it, and that's the end of it!

Grandchildren Shiarn of Daniella and Izaiah of Lee-Joel

Children have NO hang-ups.
Think back, remember that time..
And trust in God.

God or The devil

I have had much trouble posting this, which tells me, satan, the great deciever, does not want it known.

A beautiful young girl, perhaps about fourteen years of age, had a visitation from an Angel.
She was special, and she proves this by her great faith.
When the Angels tells her, she is to be mother of the Savour of the world there is no hesitation.

Many of us would have been horrified!
Who wants their own family to possibly disown them?
Who cherishes the thought of being taken to the town square and stoned to death?

But Mary spoke these words:
"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my soul rejoices in God my Savour."
Mary herself, subjects herself, and proclaims herself, a sinner.
She rejoices in God as her Savour.
She was not a bad person.
But just as all humanity is born into sin, so was Mary.
And she proclaimed this.

Jesus said, "I am the truth the life and the way, no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14:6 Do you believe this?

Does the Word of God change?
"Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows."
James 1:17



“Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt.
Serve the LORD!
And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:14-15 (N K J Version)

The Big Wet * Queensland Floods

Australia is a Country, Island and a Continent.
Many people do not realise the size of it.

It is approximately the size of the United States.
Yet we have fewer states.
Queensland as you will see in the map is a large state.
With an area of 1,727,000 square kilometres
Queensland is the second largest state in Australia, exceeded only in size by Western Australia.
Queensland is nearly five times the size of Japan.
Seven times the size of Great Britain.
And,  two and a half times the size of Texas.

At this present time, two thirds of Queensland is under water, and it is raining hard again.
We live in a flood zone.
However, as yet, our town has missed the floods.
Yet it may only be a matter of time.

Recent Weather Warnings

Flood Warning - Condamine-Balonne Rivers
Flood Warning - Fitzroy River
Severe Weather Warnings

I don't like floods, I grew up with them.

However, its best to see the positive side.

How wonderful it is to have today's technology and be pre warned.

We have much to be thankful for.

Not so our wild life.

"God is our refuge and strength,

an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging."
Psalm 46: 1-3

Faith as a Mustard Seed

He replied, "Because you have so little faith.

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move.

Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 17:20

We are all given a measure of Faith.

I believe that measure is the same for all,
because we are not told that it isn’t.

Some use their whole measure to believe, while others don’t.
I imagine the Bible hero’s of old, used a whole measure also.

Can you imagine Noah using half his measure?
He never would have built the ark!
It took many years and had never rained.

Or Ruth choosing to return with Naomi back to her home land.
Both poor widow's, both with nothing.
Yet both possessing a faith.

What a joke these people must have looked.

I choose Faith any time. I use my full measure.
And I believe God reads the child-like belief of my heart.
It matters to me what God thinks, and that’s all!

Today I am believing for a miracle in my family.
I have already thanked God for that miracle.
Nothing, is impossible with Him.
He is my God and thats the end of the story.

"For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think;
but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."    Romans 12:3
