Deuteronomy 4:9 My mother inlaw is well along the difficult road of dementia. While she still remembers those people and events she has known for years, she cannot remember what happened an hour ago. It is very sad to see someone’s memory and well-being deteriorate before our eyes, and we can only hope that weContinue reading “Don’t forget”

Take a Break
Exodus 34:21 In our busy world, rest can be seen as lazy, unproductive and weak. This is especially so when the to-do list never ends, profits are at stake and business success is dependent on everyone giving 130%. To ensure that we have the capacity to perform our daily tasks, we load up with coffeeContinue reading “Take a Break”
How could He?
Exodus 21:13 ‘but if God lets it happen’ I find it surprising and disturbing that we read God would let someone die after an accident. Not only that, the person who was responsible, although unintentionally, would get protection. The fact that God lets anything bad happen seems contrary to His reputation of being good. ThereContinue reading “How could He?”
Out of our comfort zone
Genesis 11:4 ‘and not be scattered over the face of the earth.’ Building a tower wasn’t the issue, it was that everyone wanted to be together instead of going out and doing what God wanted them to do. Interestingly, the early church were the same, they gravitated towards staying together in the comfort of JerusalemContinue reading “Out of our comfort zone”
Whose hands?
Psalm 5:1 We all put our lives into someone’s hands. Most of the time we decide that the best person to trust with our life is ourselves. On the odd occasion we might find ourselves in dire straits and humble ourselves enough to call for help. If we really thought about it, we would realiseContinue reading “Whose hands?”
Who are you living for?
2 Corinthians 5:15 None of us want to feel left out, unimportant or as if we are being used for someone else’s benefit. Even more so if we had given up everything for them. The more we put into a relationship the more we expect to be included, trusted, thanked, valued and loved. Often peopleContinue reading “Who are you living for?”
Hope like no other
Isaiah 40:31 Hope is like breath, we can’t live without it. Hope is more than dreams and wishes because they can easily vanish. Hope is more about trusting that there is a future and a purpose for our life. Without hope we give up, without hope we get tired, without hope we don’t have aContinue reading “Hope like no other”
All it takes
1 John 1:9 When we hurt or offend someone whom we love the effect can be devastating and can impact the relationship for a long time. There are trust issues and there is pain. Even if we didn’t mean it or did but then regretted it there is no taking back what we have done.Continue reading “All it takes”
Waiting
Psalm 33:18 One of the hardest things to do in life is wait. Waiting means that we are at the mercy of someone else’s timing. We could be waiting in line, waiting in traffic, waiting for a phone call, waiting for our computer to respond, waiting for the food at a restaurant or waiting forContinue reading “Waiting”
Too good to be true
In today’s world where scammers are trying to get our attention daily with unbelievable offers and terrific deals we have learnt to be sceptical. You might have received an email telling you that you have won an obscure lottery or a phone call advising you about a new ‘legal’ tax dodge. Whatever the case mayContinue reading “Too good to be true”
