God’s stamp of approval!
We all respond to a compliment, it makes us feel warm inside. It reminds me of those stamps we used to get at primary school. The teacher would have an array of pretty ones to put in our workbook; a sort of tick for well done! As we live our Christian life there can be…

Don’t give up!
Do you have one of those kitchen timers? Sometimes you wind them up for the selected time and then you notice they are not counting down. Ususally it just takes a little tweek of the dial and away they go…. tick! tick! and they don’t stop till the nominated time is completed. It’s a bit…

Faith Polishing!
Sometimes it’s time for a bit of cleaning because things do get a little dirty over time; things still function, but not as well. Just recently I cleaned our house windows inside and out, they were okay… they obviously still let in the light! But if I took an Instagram pic from inside the house…

DISCOVERY!
There is so much fascination with discovery… our world, the solar system and the universe. As astronomers explore deep space and reveal hidden things we marvel at what they find. As scientists discover new things about our earth, we are amazed that there are still new things to understand. An example is the large ‘ocean’…

Salvation is COMPLETED!
Our lives are constantly challenged to finish what we have started. It may be a simple jigsaw puzzle which is not finished till the last piece is in place. But there is still a personal sense of satisfaction that we have completed the design. There are so many other examples of things which need to…

Shattered Dreams!
We have all walked the boulevard of broken dreams. Past events play on our minds and we dream again…. if only!! We cannot alter the past, and we cannot rewrite the events of our lives. But tomorrow is a day of fresh beginnings. When things have not worked out the way we would have wanted,…
