what I did.

Today i actually rallied round and mowed my lawns after several days of rain and a day to dry out the lawn. I also helped My friend Emily bless our friend Jean with his old printer. it was so nice to catch up with her.everything was great.

Lately .....

Lately not much has been happening.  I still have my garden to attend to. and my house to clean. and a Linux  computer OS i want to setup. There is lots to do.  but even though in life we may have things that need doing, if we don't stand up and just do them then they don't get done. its easy to become distracted with things that are less important, forget about God so much and suffer a bit. suffer spiritually and as result get down on life.  and never achieve what we have the potential to do so. Move forward means spending less time on the computer, watching TV and other things that may distract you and get in the way of things .

Wow christmas eve.

Its Christmas eve what a night. whatever you may be doing don't give up.  never look back and remember its not about presents or what you wanted but did not get. its the thought that counts. I don't get many presents now a days.  its more about the act of a card or something to say thank you to all you meet.  I am even bad myself at this. and am thinking what i can do.

Most of all have a fun Christmas and end of 2010 and a good start to 2011. dont forget why we are al here.

Been a while.

I know its been a while since I have posted anything. well my house has not been going to well but my garden is doing ok. I have planted some cabbages, lettuces, tomatoes, strawberries, silver beet, yams and potatoes. Like anything I do, I guess I don't put as much effort as I probably should. so things take longer to get done.. I do need to get my sleeping to a decent time.I think that me being more tired than I should be is a big factor in what I do. I have been trying my best. At least I do know I do need to stand up and act like a Man and just Do it.. I am capable because I have good health, I am physically fit and able to get around and I do really get frustrated when things are upside down.

I have decided to just keep going, never Give up and Rely on Jesus Christ to help me for he is my strength, and helps me. I realise I cant do everything in my own strength even though at times I try to.

An interesting Thought.

Sometimes Things never work out how we think they are going to. We may have an understanding on what to do. we may have an idea on how to do them. The only thing id what we do with that. if we take that knowledge and pass it on to others and they improve themselves that is great. this is easy to do. but if e don't put the same things into practice ourselves we just become hypocrites. knowledge without action id useless, it becomes nothing. We all need to stop and think.

I like this article from the Word For Today a Christian daily devotional I read from time to time.

Are You Too B-U-S-Y?

'...that Satan might not outwit us...' 2 Corinthians 2:11 NIV

Addressing a worldwide convention of demons, Satan told them: 'As long as Christians stay close to God we've no power over them, so:
(1) Keep them busy with non-essentials.
(2) Tempt them to overspend and go into debt.
(3) Make them work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles.
(4) Discourage them from spending family time, for when homes disintegrate there's no refuge from work.
(5) Overstimulate their minds with television and computers so that they can't hear God speaking to them.
(6) Fill their coffee tables and nightstands with newspapers and magazines so they've no time for Bible reading.
(7) Flood their letter boxes with sweepstakes, promotions and get-rich-quick schemes; keep them chasing material things.
(8) Put glamorous models on TV and on magazine covers to keep them focused on outward appearances; that way they'll be dissatisfied with themselves and their mates.
(9) Make sure couples are too exhausted for physical intimacy; that way they'll be tempted to look elsewhere.
(10) Emphasise Santa and the Easter Bunny; that way you'll divert them from the real meaning of the holidays.
(11) Involve them in 'good' causes so they won't have any time for 'eternal' ones.
(12) Make them self-sufficient. Keep them so busy working in their own strength that they'll never know the joy of God's power working through them. Do these twelve things faithfully. I promise–it'll work!'

Have you figured out the difference between being busy and being successful in what God's called you to do? Sometimes being B-U-S-Y just means Being Under Satan's Yoke!

This article really made me think about what we are doing in life and how these thins can distract us from what we all are meant to be doing.
