perspective

I just washed up, boiled the jug and steralised my babies bottles...all that time thinking of women on the other side of the world from me and all they do to look after their bubba's with the little they may have. The lack of clean water let alone water that flows into their homes..how blessed are we to turn on a tap!!!
I cant help it..its how I'm wired..everyday everything I do, I think like that..when I "want" something new, I remind myself that at least I have something old, at least I have something. Every time I eat I feel so blessed, never do I worry that I'm going to go without or that my children might die due to starvation or malnutrition. Everyday I go for a walk, never do I worry for my or my children's safety, both as a woman and also as a christian. My life is not in danger here in this blessed country that i live in.
Its about thankfulness and perspective..no matter our circumstance we have something to be thankful for!!!

i'm alive

Gods word is alive. I've heard that my whole life. But it's more true then I realise. Just as we move ourselves to be somewhere for someone in need, so too does the word "move" to be there for us. I just had one of those "bible fell open on the exact verse I needed" moments.

 As for me, I call to God,
and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice. He rescues me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me. God, who is enthroned from of old,
who does not change—
he will hear them and humble them
because they have no fear of God.
Psalm 55:16-19 NIV

Made my day, touched my heart. Comforted me right where I needed it. Thank you faithful Father...
