You never know the time. I heard some sad news a week and a bit ago. One of my beautiful ladies who was in my HEART zoom small group (that started during covid in 2020) has died. Linda was younger than me. So unexpected. We are all still reeling. Many tears flowed when I heard this tragic news. The pain was intense. Many prayers were said and will be continued to be said for her. Then only this morning, Bruce got a phone call, from a man that we have known for about ten years, that his best friend died unexpectedly this morning. They were both leaving this morning to…

I pummelled the pillow for the umpteenth time. Why can’t I sleep? I’m trying to empty my mind of things but it’s not happening. I just think of more things that need to be done! It was one of those nights. Up and down like a yoyo. I’ve learnt to NOT stay in bed but get up and tire myself more by reading etc. Sometimes it’s laughable really. I’m so tired that my eyes do not focus on the words on the page but not tired enough to sleep. Anyone else been there? Is it a symptom of menopause or old age? Whatever it is, it is so frustrating! I…

There I was seated on the plane. A place I really don’t choose to be because I don’t like flying. I’ve not been one ever to enjoy the bumpy rides. You know those rides that toss you around and some people are exhilarated by them. NOT ME! I had two experiences on two different rides as a child, and the memories of them are not good. It ended in pain and injury. So, NO BUMPS FOR ME. The funny thing is my sister is an air steward and my brother-in-law is a pilot. I have had many a conversation with them about different “air bumps” or turbulence to find out…

Daddy says to his little girl (One of my 4-year-old granddaughters) “How’s my Princess?” My granddaughter says, “I’m not a princess Dad.” “I’m a girl. I’m just a little girl.” Do we need to be reminded that we are Princesses? For that is what God Our Father, our heavenly Dad, calls us – His Daughter and so therefore His Princess for He is the King. We are not just His little girls but His little (or big) Princesses. He wants us to come to Him. He draws us to Himself. He loves us. “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven…

A conversation with Willow, my five-year-old granddaughter, and her Mum went something like this… They were driving in the car. “Mum, I need water.” “Well, did you bring your water?” “No, you have to bring it.” “It’s not my job to bring you water. If you want it, you need to bring it. I bought water bottles for you all.” “But humans need water to survive!” was Willow’s reply. “I’m sorry, I don’t have any, you should have brought it.” “But Jesus is the one that provides water.” Willow said. Mum’s reply to this drew a major eye roll and glare from Willow. “He has…. it’s currently raining.” Mum then…
