Yesterday was quite a landmark day for us, as it was my husband’s final day at work after agreeing to take early retirement/voluntary severance. To be honest I don’t think it’s really quite sunk in yet that hubby will not be working anymore although I’m sure after a few days of me getting up to [...]

Breaking You by Audrey Assad You’ve been let down, it’s true Your pain is so easy to see You’re hunted by your history And it feels like you’ve got no escape Your life left you high and dry You used to be sure of yourself But then your whole world went to hell [...]

Is Sunday really a day of rest? For those of us who attend the Salvation Army and particularly those who take part in the band or choir, I certainly wouldn’t say Sunday is a day of physical rest as we spend much time rushing about between meetings/Sunday school/practices that we barely get a chance to relax during [...]
Life Changing?

If you are a Christian, I’d ask you today to look back at your life before the time you asked God into your heart…now look at your life now, has the way you lived your life changed? If your life hasn’t changed, it would suggest that you haven’t given the whole of your life to God. When [...]

Stand in front of a mirror, look at yourself closely…yes, that’s your image you’re looking at which doesn’t tell you anything about the real person with you. So now, have a look inside your heart and your head…can you see God? If you can’t see God in your heart and your head, others won’t be able [...]

The last few days I’ve been asking you to consider your blessings, especially those ones which maybe aren’t obvious to you at the time (Are They Blessings In Disguise #1 and #2). Having written the first of these blog posts and starting on the second one, I received an email from a friend which contained [...]

Yesterday in Are They Blessings In Disguise #1 I talked about how the situations and circumstances we find ourselves in can be blessings, even if we don’t realise it at the time! But how about people? During our lifetime we meet and encounter thousands of people, some for only a few seconds, others for years, [...]

Sometimes we wonder why certain things happen in our lives. Sometimes we even wonder why God allows specific things to happen to us or our family and friends. Sometimes we wonder how there can possibly be a blessing to be found anywhere! Could it be that we are simply looking for what WE expect blessings to [...]

It’s been just over a week I’ve been off work on annual leave, however, as usual when it’s almost time to go back to work, I wish I had another week off! I gave you some idea of what I’ve been up to during my time off in Friday’s blog post entitled Normal Service Is [...]
