Introduction Just get the job done! Most of us think this when starting with a task. I listen to my boys arguing in the kitchen while doing the dishes. They got a task to do, and they aren’t doing it quietly. With me, it usually happens in silence; therefore, nobody notices it happening. I believeContinue reading “Women of Great Honour”

Thirteen years ago, we came out to New Zealand from South Africa. We wanted a fresh start and a future for our two boys. In New Zealand, you can become whatever you want to be without discrimination. The so-called land of milk and honey.  A few days after arriving, my brother-in-law took us across Auckland’sContinue reading “The Choices We Make”

Scenario: “Mommy, where is grandma?” Awkward silence. “In heaven, Sweetie.” Husband drops the newspaper. “Prmth. That old bat!” Every one of us has heard this conversation before. Isn’t it strange that even atheists want to believe in a place called heaven? But Jesus warns that “not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shallContinue reading “Knowing the Host”

7-“And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. 8-Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soulContinue reading ““I Will Feed the Flock of Slaughter””

“A man’s heart deviseth his way: But the LORD directeth his steps” (Proverbs 16:9, KJV). I love this verse, but it gained new meaning during my bible study session, recently. I was reading the piece where Paul was imprisoned by the Romans because the Synagogue leaders wanted him dead. Agrippa and Festus could find noContinue reading “God Direct Our Steps”

“Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken” (John 21:10‭-‬11, KJV). Reading this piece reminded me ofContinue reading “Fishermen for Christ”

My husband and I went on a walk and found this fig tree in one of our neighbourhood garden’s. The fruit grew lush, although the leaves turned brown and dead. I was reminded of Jesus’ words “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, yeContinue reading “‘Behold, I have Told You Before’-Jesus”

Mind puzzles. I must admit that I find most of the mind puzzles mind boggling. The one in the picture is a mind puzzle that I received a few years ago, from one of my children. As you can see, I haven’t figured it out yet. Reading Matthew 13, I find my mind intrigued. TheContinue reading “To be a Scribe of God”

There are a kind of irony to today’s piece. I started writing it yesterday, before finding out of the passing away of our close neighbour. As I sit here typing I wonder, how I can write about new beginnings, while feeling the loss of someone we got to know for the last eight years ofContinue reading “New Beginnings”

Fire drills we all know. No, I’m not going to discuss fire drills today. But in today’s life we all live as if we are having an emergence all around us. We forget the basic rule they taught us in school: to walk, and not run, for you might fall… I started working again. AsContinue reading “Walk, Don’t Run”
