Count Your Blessings

The year 2012 is almost over and all I can say is Wow!

I must confess, this year is almost indescribable for me. The Lord has done so much and the devil also tried but to the glory of God, I can boldly say that my testimonies far outnumber my tests. God has been faithful and I have so much to be thankful for. Though there were times when I had it really rough and I almost gave up, God gave me the strength I never knew I had to pull through.

The gift or the Giver?

One thing I've learnt to do is to observe and learn from other peoples actions/inactions, and funny enough, a lot of my lessons recently have been from kids.

Just the other day, I called a three year old three times but got no response from her, unknown to me, she heard me all along but refused to respond for two reasons: one, she was watching a program on the television and two, she thought I wanted to tell her to clean up a mess she made earlier. Unknown to her, I got her favorite yoghurt and wanted to give it to her. Can you believe my young sweetheart ignored my calls (despite the fact that I shouted her name several times)? However, as soon as I showed her the yoghurt, she came running to me with the biggest grin ever, took the yoghurt and left as fast as she came, barely mumbling "thank you".

Change It

I found this picture and thought to share with you. Although it's a blunt message, it is a very good advice and we all need a bit of blunt but wise words every now and then.
