Today Reminder – 05 May 2014 (Day 3 – Everywhere)



A reminder for today
Sing to the LORD; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. (Psalm 96:2-3)

As I drove down to see my parents on their farm I had a little time to think about this month’s theme. It is amazing watching the beauty of our country as you travel from the city to the country side. As you get of the highway it is a long winding road that takes you through little towns and past many farms. It winds up and down through long open passes and down a beautiful valley that opens to the place where I grew up. 

It is filled with a variety of people and little damns and gushing rivers that brings back many childhood memories. I loved growing up in this beautiful place. Tall trees and grassy fields take you to a warm little place and the farm where my parents live. This is where I find the Lord so often. He is in these tall trees and He glides over those long grass fields. He is in the walls of our house and the warm welcome when my parents open the door.

The Lord is in these moments where I feel so at home. You could call it my happy place. As we spend time down there I realised again how grateful I am for the wonders and miracles the Lord has done in our family and in my life. These memories just makes me want to sing to the Lord and praise His name.

Each and every day I proclaim His good news and I publish His glorious deeds. Oh how wonderful He is and how wonderful His everlasting love. The Lord is in my family and all that brought us to where we are today. When I walk out on our farm I feel a rush of memories that glorifies His name for He is in all those memories. His mercy, His grace and His love. 

The Lord is in those so close to me.

Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus

Cheers

Just to remind you

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'  When I say 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.   When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than you. I’m just a simple sinner who received God...

Today Reminder – 7 August 2014 (Day 5 – Return to Proverbs)

A reminder for today Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) When we realise that all we are and all that we are good at is a blessing from the Lord we soon see how we can honour Him with these wonderful talents. I give all the credit to the Lord for all that I accomplish and all that I do and I am humbled by the way He continues to give me wisdom in my work. The promise here is much greater than we realise. When we honour Him with all that we produce, He will fill our barns and let our vats overflow. This to me means that the more we honour Him in what we produce (do) the more He will bless what we do up to the extend where we will see His blessings and they will leave us completely overwhelmed. In the end all that we have comes from God and He will increase what we have when we seek Him above all and live to bring glory to Him. ...

Today Reminder (Boxes) – 9 November 2017

A reminder for today   I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One]. (Revelation 22:13 ) When you are reading this, I will be well on my way to my parents. Today is their moving day and we are off to help. Now, when it comes to moving I am almost an expert. We moved a few times and I can tell you it was never fun. Even still today our furniture starts to shake when a truck drives by. Now moving is all about boxes. Your stuff goes into the box and then onto the truck and finally at the new destination the stuff comes out of the box. One thing I can tell you is that with every move our stuff got lesser and lesser, because I gave some away that I thought we do not need anymore. Some would think I just made it less and easier to move. I would argue the opposite, but surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When we look at life it is a bit like moving. You see we experience things in life and we box it. This c...
