Fantastic Faith

 

Treasures In The Garden

 

From our church news letter yesterday:

 Giving an insight into having Faith.......

Jesus walking on water and Peter having faith to follow:

 and then doubt set in........

 

In the middle of a dark winter's night in a small farming community,

 The 2- story home of a young family caught on fire.

Quickly , the family followed their well practiced emergency plan, and they made their way through the smoke- filled home to the front yard.

 There the father counted headsand realised that their 5 year old was missing.

Suddenly he heard a wail and looked to see the boy at his bedroom window, crying and rubbing his eyes. 

Knowing the danger of re-entering the burning building to rescue his son,

the father called" Jump, son! I'll catch you!"

Between sobs, the boy responded to the familiar voice: "But i can't see you Daddy!"

 The fathered answered with great assurance:"No, son! You can't see me,but I can see you! JUMP!"

At that the boy jumped into the inky smoky darkness and found himself cradled in his father's loving arms- safe!

 Keep Faith!

Have Faith. Be Trusting. Know that God is with us!

God's presence is for his people. 

Our need is to trust HIM!

 

 

 

 

Improving one's beauty

Always having  kindness thoughts.......

Inner Winner

Treasures In The Garden

 

Happiness doesn't come from outer circumstances but from inner assurance.......

To be an inner winner I need to:

Count my blessings,

 Practice kindness,

Use my time wisely,

Listen to my heart,

Do my very best,

Let go the rest,

Breathe,

Go with the flow.

....... it comes from within!

 

My word for today is "HAPPINESS!"

 

 

It's time to make a change

Treasures In The Garden

 

Do we always know what things are important? 

Could it be.......

The ability to be able to love....

or: making expressions of kindness

 to those around us....

or: touching the heart, the emotions

 of the people we love....

Or, the wordless conveyance of care

 by a look or touch....

Perhaps we could give it the chance to work.

 It takes 21 days to change a habit.

Maybe it will help change the lives of others as well as our own.

Staying In Focus

The end result is not enjoyable.......

 

Sometimes we become too focused

on the line where we will finish....

 and we fail to see the journey

 we have taken to get to our destination.

 

....... if we have missed out on how we got there.

 

My word for today is "JOURNEY!" 

Directions--- every which way!

If we make kindness a part of every day living.......

 

A single act of

 kindness

throws out

roots in all

directions,

 and those roots

SPRING

up and make

new growth.

                     Amelia Earhart

..........we will probably never know in which directions our kindness will be projected!

 

My word for today is "DIRECTION!"

 

  

Lighting an Inspiring Flame

Treasures In The Garden

 

Igniting the flame which has become extinguished 

by a sad happening for someone we know.......

  At times our own

 light can go out and be

rekindled from a spark 

lit by another person.

 Each one of us has cause 

to think with deep gratitude

 of someone who has lighted

 the dwindling flame within us.

....... can be a wonderful achievement by a caring person, and inspiration for those in need  of a helping hand.

 

My word for today is "IGNITING!"
