My thoughts and my life

A reminder for today Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5 ) Today is officially my last post for 2017. The end is here, and the year is over, done, kaput, no more. What can we say when we look back at this year. Well I think I will need more than just a minute or a day to remember the miracles and blessings that we had in this year. We have been so fortunate in the grace of the Lord and through all my challenges He remained faithful and kept me going by His mercy and His strength.  Not only did the Lord bless us but He added amazing people in my life. People like you and all the amazing people that follows me on twitter. Thank you for taking this journey with me and thank you for your prayers and support. I am so grateful for you and you will remain in my prayers as always. Blessed are you, my friend for your inh...

A reminder for today All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:3-5 ) You know I love this time of the year. The gym is quiet, and the traffic is not so bad. People seem a little more relaxed as they leave for their holiday destinations. The malls and shops are busy and there are specials everywhere. I love to sit at a coffee shop and just watch the people as they walk by. Each one so uniquely designed and each one of us made in God’s image. Everywhere you see Christmas decorations, and everyone blesses one another with a Christmas blessing.  Suddenly the world is very aware of Jesus Christ and even if you are not a follower you are also touched by the light and the blessing of giving. The enemy tries to hide Christmas by using an old guy in a red suit to deceive us and to confuse little children...

A reminder for today But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (John 1:12 ) How are you, my friend? It is a little cooler today than it was yesterday. We had a scorcher of day here in Pretoria and there was no place in our home where I could find a little cool air. I hope the Lord blesses us with more rain. I came across a few interesting things about Jesus and I thought I’ll share with you. The name Jesus appears in the Bible more than 900 times. Christ is not actually a name, but a title. When the Bible talks about the Messiah in the Old Testament, it is referring to the same title as the New Testament calls Christ. Both Messiah and Christ mean anointed one. Jesus was anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38) and was the promised redeemer. The first promise of a redeemer in the Bible was in Genesis 3:15. The word Christ appears in the Bible more than 500 times. Jesus’ birthd...
