Friends I would love to share my story with you. I wrote this one in about 1998. This story began years ago. It was a Saturday just a normal day. Well that's what I thought but who knows when our Creator has some thing planned from above, it is any thing but normal. Amen! It was a beautiful sunny day, I was rushing to our local shops and as I turned the corner there was a big sign that said Evangelist Steve Smith. He was coming to preach at the hall near our home. He was coming from the eastern states. As I read this advert my heart and my spirit were racing within me.
The Holy Ghost spoke "you must go tonight." I raced home all excited. My husband Joe said he didn't want to go but said I could go with a friend. So I called up my friend Shirley and that night off we went to the meeting. The hall was very small and people were packed in like sardines. Steve Smith was a big man with shoulder length hair. He had a powerful voice and was singing and playing his key board. Wow! Wow! The anointing flooded me I could hardly stand. I thought I was on my way to heaven. Glory.
As Steve started to preach, the fire and power was such as to have one either laid flat on the floor or on their knees. Later the alter call drew every one to the front of the hall. I went forward but another pastor prayed for me. I said to the Lord, "I don't want him, I want the one You wanted me to see. I went home very very disappointed for I didn't understand why I had to see him but not meet him. The years went by and I forgot the man with the fire and power. But my God had a plan he started to lay on my heart about this man called Steve Smith who I had forgotten so I started to pray for him. I asked my friend Rhonda if she knew this man. She did! Praise our living God. The Lord had me become Steve's personal intercessor and at that time he did not know me or I him.
Steve travels the world as a international evangelist. The Holy Ghost brought us together and Steve calls me from any where in the world. You see, he is like my second son and he stays with us and our home is his home too. Steve gets loved and spoiled and he loves that can you say Amen to a plan from Heaven that no man or devil can break. Many have tried to but never succeeded because Gods plans are yea and amen. When some thing is birthed in your spirit before life began, the one and only Creator of the universe, the Master of Heaven guarantees that what He has written for you cannot be removed. It is written by the hand of God. It is there for ever. It is eternal .

Renewing Our Vows
On Saturday, the 29 of January 2005, My husband Joe and I renewed our wedding vows again on our 40th Wedding Anniversary. We did this at our own church, known as Breakthru, in Malaga, Western Australia.
Our friend Bruce, I call him Rocky, chauffeured our daughter Carol and myself to the church. Glory to His Majesty on High. As we pulled up to the door, I could not believe my eyes. We were met by flashing lights and our photos being taken. At the other end of them, my cousin Glen and good friend Steve Douglas stood.
I felt I was floating along on the red carpet. Hallelujah! What a beautiful day the Lord gave us. Praise His Name For Ever. An awesome day I will never forget, never forget. Glory. Joe stood at the alter with our son Michael and my brother Mike all looking very smart and very posh. They stood waiting for it to begin.
Down the aisle came my ladies, looking lovely as ever, Judy, Jo and Marion. My second son Steve sat at the key board and sang us down the aisle with "Surely the Presence of the Lord is in this Place." My second son has a beautiful gifted voice from the Almighty. Amen! The anointing flooded me as our daughter Carol, my baby girl, took her mamas arm. As we headed down the aisle, she reassured me with, "Come on mum, you look beautiful", she smiled as we passed all our relatives and special friends that were having a ball. She looked so elegant walking and holding on to me, her mama. Carol led me to her father then sat down.
Vin, our pastor, stood there smiling already to begin. As he started the service getting some words from the bible, and some of his own, we then began. When the service ended, Vin said to Joe "now you may kiss your wife Edrina." Every one shouted, clapped and went wild. Then Vincent played his guitar while Jude, Jo and Marion sang "Reach Out and Touch the Lord." It was beautiful. Rhonda, my joy, was our MC. Loving and looking great she did her job well.
All my favourite songs were sang. Jo sang "I'll Walk With God. Michelle and Lyndsey sang "I Believe" and "The Wind Beneath My Wings." Then my Joy introduced our Boo (Carol) who spoke about her mum and dad. It was wonderful. You did a great job Boo. Then it was our boys turn he got up and spoke about us. Right on mate (Mike). Both of you were wonderful. We love you both.
When we started Colin Jimmy prayed for us to be blessed and to bless the food. Joy then played our special song by Frank Sinatra "Strangers in the Night." She then called on Joe to speak. He was good. He thanked every one for coming and put in the humor that only Joe can do. Towards the end he got a bit emotional giving some of our ladies a tear or two. Hello this is Joe blow! Then Joy passed it over to me. Well really I wasn't prepared for it, but I carried on. Amen! I was still up in the air. My friends roared not believing me. It was wonderful to look out and see all our precious relatives and friends as well as our church family. Glen boy, Di girl, Auntie Pam and Serge, Mike and Iona, Esther and all of you.
My hearts desire was to wear a veil, so thank you Jo for giving me that gift. It was priceless. Hallelujah. Every one did a great job on that day. It was awesome. My little Helen you were there in my heart and thank you Helen A for the work you did on that day. Judy's Steve did our video and Vincent our DVD with James coming to support us. Good boys. Every one of you are precious to us and rare. Thank you all. May the Lord continue to bless you all and keep you. Edrina and Joe Mau.

The Great Day Has Arrived
Good morning friends. I would love to share with you all this wonderful story of ours.
There was a couple that took their wedding vows again in their own little church. A loving daughter who walked her mama down the aisle and a wonderful son who stood at his dads side. The wife's brother also stood by the man.
The woman had her ladies in waiting - 1 2 and 3. As they walked down the aisle the woman's second son sat at the key board and sang as they walked down the aisle with "Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place." It was then the pastor turned to do the ceremony. With words out of the bible and of his own he began. He offered encouragement to this couple and then said "Great! You're doing a good job. Now you may kiss." Every one went wild.
The woman was walking on cloud nine. All her relatives and special friends were there. In the mist of every one having a great time - a party time - the woman was talking to her second son. As he bent down to hear what she was saying, he bent his ear to hear. The closeness drew them together while every one still carried on but it was like they were the only ones there.
The next day as she sat looking at the photos, her Heavenly Father spoke into her spirit and said "just as your son bent his ear to hear what you were saying that's a picture of me with each and every child of mine. I bend down my ear and listen I have that closeness, that intimacy with each and every child of mine."
In Psalms 116, the bible says the Lord bends down his ear and listens intently. He has a love and bond with His children no matter how many others are around. He has that special time marked just for you so always go and talk to Him so He can bend down His ear and listen to what you say for you are all important to Him. Hallelujah! Glory to God.

They Calll Him Joe
Hi friends. I hope all is well today. This was written in 1985.
Half a century has come and gone as the man they call Joe starts off to go. A boy on his bike shouts look out you old goat, as Joe shakes his fist, he mumbles "no manners these kids of today." He gets to the park and gladly sits down running his hand through his dark thinning hair, touching his bald patch which is clear. His mow that was dark is now covered with grey. His teeth he can pull in and out for a laugh.
His eyes are under a great lot of strain. His glasses are worn on the top of his head. Then he asks you "where are my specs?" There on your head you chop chop I reply. Well I don't have to tell you he is quite deaf. "Where did you say dear?" There in the chops. No he's not really as bad as all that. But one day if I wake to find that's exactly his frame of mind, I will still thank Father God for giving to me this man they call Joe. He is my husband.

Dawny's My Girl
Good morning friends. How is it in your part of the world? I hope you enjoy this story.
A little shy girl stands alone scared and lonely as she watches all the children play happily around. She wants to join in but who wants to play with her? Her little heart starts to pound - do they want her? Will they call her name? No! Okay she will play her own game. Hiding her hurt she turns to play her own game.
Just then she catches sight of a familiar figure. He's checking each child as he makes his way up to her tousling her hair with love and affection. He says with a grin "Dawny's my girl." She felt so loved and wanted by her special uncle. He always made her feel very pretty and unique. She smiled to herself. All the kids could have their play their toys and each other. She felt like sunshine came into her. Her little heart beat faster now her uncle had made her day when he said with a grin "Dawn's my girl."
Now this little girl has a mum and dad who love her too. But with a sister and two brothers who also share the love and care, she wanted more. She needed more. So the Lord had placed her special uncle there for her who felt and loved just her. So if you out there feel like Dawny did, she will pray and ask our Father God to send some one just for you so you can hear the words that say you are my child. No one else will do. You are unique. Praise God.

The Holy Ghost .. The Giver of Gifts
My husband Joe has Wisdom from God. He is trustworthy and dependable. He uses his car to pick up people to take them to church and other places.
My daughter Carol has a smile that lights up the world and melts the coldest hearts.
My son Michael has a gentle, quiet spirit that draws others around him.
My second son Steve has laughter that sounds like music from heaven.
These are just a few of the gifts that are in my family.
I feel thankful and humbled before the Almighty God for giving me this family.
The Supernatural Sign From God Above
Friends, I would love to share my story with you.
This story began years ago. It was a Saturday. Just a normal day.. well that’s what I thought. But who knows when our Creator has something planned from above. It is anything but normal. Amen!
It was a beautiful sunny day. I was rushing to our local shops and as I turned the corner there was a big sign which read ‘Evangelist coming to minister’ He was to minister at the hall near our home. He was coming from the Eastern States. As I read this advert my heart and my spirit was racing within me. The Holy Ghost spoke ‘You must go tonight’. I raced home all excited. My husband said he did not want to go but that I could go with a friend. I called up one of my friends and, that night, off we went to the meeting.
The hall was very small and people were packed in like sardines. The Evangelist was a big man with shoulder length hair. He had a powerful voice and was singing and playing the keyboard. Wow! Wow! The anointing flooded me so that I could hardly stand.. thought that I was on my way to heaven. Glory! He started to preach. The fire and power was such as to have everyone either laid flat on the floor or on their knees. Later the alter call drew everyone to the front of the hall. I went forward but another Pastor prayed for me. I went home disappointed. I never got to meet the Evangelist. As time went by I forgot the man with the fire and power.
Many years later the Almighty had a plan for me to meet the Evangelist. I was gob-smacked as the Holy Ghost had me become the Evangelist's personal intercessor. The man at this time did not know any thing about this and did not know me. The Holy Ghost told that this man was an International Evangelist although I did not know at the time. Now, wherever he is in the world he rings me and I know, because he tells me, that my prayers do great things for him.
By God’s design my husband and I have been drawn into his family. He has become my second son and I am his second mama. Hallelujah!. Our home is his home where he come and stays and gets spoiled. Can you say Amen! To a plan from heaven that no man or devil can break. Many have tried to but never succeeded because God’s plans are Yea and Amen!
When something is birthed in your spirit from ages past then the one and only Creator of the universe, the Master of heaven guarantees that what He has written for you cannot be removed. It is there forever. It is Eternal, written by the hand of God.
And the people cried Amen! and shouted Hallelujah!.
Waiting at Home
Hi friends. Hope you are all well. Good. Jesus loves you. I hope you enjoy this story.
I would like to speak to some of you wives out there who might have found themselves in this place at some time in your lives. This was written in 1982.
Waiting and wanting and ready to shout. Looking at the clock and ready to pop. The meeting - it should have been over by now. Where is that man of mine? I am getting ready to scream. To scream. Is that a car I hear? Surely the meeting is over by now.
A wife and two kids are waiting at home but they mean nothing to that man. Chatting and drinking coffee is he. Never giving a thought of his home. After ten o'clock it is now. One of his children is laying asleep - unaware of his father who couldn't care less. Don't tell me of the meeting that had stopped hours ago - just keep chatting and drinking your coffee. Don't care about us who's waiting at home.
Oh I could just scream. Our ten year old daughter listened to her mum as she read this out. Then I tear it up and put in in the bin feeling better. Getting it out of mind but the Lord spoke through our little girl for she said "mum, can I tape this up for you? You may want to use one day."
Hello! Ladies! For the record my husband came straight home after the meeting. They told me he was the only one that didn't stay for coffee. Hello! This had taught me always trust my husband. I pray this is a little eye opener to some of you. Trust your husbands and always let them know you are there for them. By the grace of God we are coming into 45 years of married life.

The Master Builder
Hi readers. How are you all today? Well I hope.
Hello! Are you friends with the Master Builder? Do you know His name? Hallelujah. Would you know Him if He came your way. Would you call Him by name. Think about it! Amen! Have you built on a strong foundation? Or would the first gust of wind blow you over.
If something wasn't right could you call up the Master Builder and say come over? Or wouldn't you know where to start? Would you call someone else you knew and they would get in touch with Him for you. You need first hand information\. You need to be friends with Him yourself. You need to know Him personally. Hallelujah! So you can be on intimate terms with Him yourself. Amen!
You need to know Him personally so you can lead Him to others who need Him to love and know Him for themselves. Do I hear Amen and praise the Lord. By me knowing my Master Builder the way I do, He tells me when and where there are cracks to mend or fences to fix. He leads me and tells me what to do and not what to do. Praise God. Glory to God.

Jesus My Star of Glory
Hi friends, how is the world treating you all today? Here is a psalm I hope you will enjoy.
Jesus you are the jewel crown of glory, the wonder and beauty of heaven itself. The snow cloud kissed the majestic splendor of your majesty. Hallelujah! Into your presence now I am coming. Bowing down before the great I Am. In adoration I am spellbound. Praise Him. You light up my world.
As your love whispers I am here to stay so don't go away. Just love me and praise me this very day. Glory you are the star of my heart and the Love of my life. You are the light that keeps burning. You are the eternal flame that never dies. You are perfect and unique. There is no one ever like you. You are God. You are everlasting. From generation to generation there is no one like you.

My Second Son From God Above
Friends I hope all is well in your world. I would like to tell you about my second son. I have often told you about my first two beautiful children Carol and Michael. Now I would love to share my heart again this time about my second son Steve. God had planned and purposed him to come in His perfect timing. Amen! He is a grown man with his own family but Jesus looked into our hearts and drew us together.
We laugh about what others call silly things. We watch the same things. We learn and grow about what is important. We are there for each other no matter what. There's trust and love always. The Lord told me to be there for him. He may be far away but as I stand in the gap praying for him there's no differences in the spirit. He may ring and say he can't come over and then next thing he's at my door phone in hand laughing and saying open this door right now. Do it. Do it.
We may play our childish games loving it to the end but Hello somebody hates losing! So then he makes an excuse and says my back hurts lets play tomorrow. But of course if he is winning, Hello, surprise he wants to play all night. You may hear Steve say to me I saw your second cousins, best friends aunties uncle's little boy down the road and by the way, the twins need you. Then we have a good laugh. What would you do? If the Lord is showing you there's others He wants you care about as well as your own, do you make that person or people feel loved and special.
One day you may need some one to care and come into your life like that. My second son knows that no matter what happens in his life there will always be some one out there on his side. Hallelujah! Not just someone for their own purposes but though our Almighty God who planned and purposed from before we were in our mothers womb. God having our destiny entwined in time itself. What lies in store for you? What is your destiny? Ask your Father.

The Hand of the Master
Friends, how are you all today? Well I hope. This is a psalm I write. Enjoy.
The the universe is designed by the Master Himself, the Creator, the Artist, the Potter at work. When He gets done what beauty, what splendor, what delight. It's glorious, it's wonderful, it's marvellous to the eye, it's a sight to behold. Amen! Glory! Let us take in all of God's handiwork, Let us take time to ponder all His majestic holy ways. The angels worship around His throne day and night. Hallelujah! Singing and praising Him for all His mighty acts. Worshipping Him for who He is. The King of Kings. Amen! The touch of the Master hand. Amen! As one stands in awe of the work He has created, the colours of the rainbows looking like beauty itself. One holds their breath as they catch sight of the stars showing their beautiful, glorious figures. The sunset's like the colour of fire. Not forgetting the moon with all splendor and delight knowing the Lamb of God is in control. Our Holy Ghost is here being our friend. God bless you all.

Close to My Heart
Hi friends. I wrote this in 1982. I had a desperate need in my heart for my children to love and need just me. To turn from others and want just me. It seemed from little babies they felt that desperate need inside of me.
We were often told that how we feel about our babies affects them. If we love them or reject them then they will feel that love or hate right at the start. To see a little one cry for mum, it's like no one will do but mum. My own daughter from that early age - from the moment she was born didn't want a thing to do with any body else.
You see she must have felt that love and need so strong in me. Don't you see? That was in her too - that love and need. My son he felt that too. That love and need. No one else would do for them. They only wanted me their mama. In my arms they always were there. I would love to hold them hug and kiss them day by day. I didn't want to let them go and even to this very day I hate to see them go away.
When they go to school each day Heavenly Father I know you are with them every day. Their birthdays are coming up. Teenagers are what they'll be. Their dad and I love them very much and over the years they have shown to us how much they love us so. Thank you Father God. We love you and thank you for the privilege of being their parents.

When God Plans Your Life, Don't Say No
Hi people of God. I pray you are pondering on God and His great universe. Right now I believe He is speaking to you asking you this question - will you say yes Lord?
This message is for you my friend. I am talking to you as you read this story. When we have out of the blue experiences that is God's perfect timing. It is the Lord's timetable for us. Amen and hallelujah! We have a beautiful daughter Carol Anne and a wonderful son Michael Joseph. I have told you about them many times. We have loved, protected and always there for them no matter what.
We have watched them grow to wonderful precious adults having their own lives and marrying good people and being happy. Praise the Lord. And we are all still there for each other and aways will be. Now in between those years with out me knowing, the Lord was planning to bring another son, Steve Smith, into my life. He wanted me to love, protect and stand in the gap for him. This son comes with a big family of his own. They are always there for him. Amen! But Daddy God had planned a extra mama knowing he needed plenty of extra love and care. So while his mother and dad were and still there for him, would you believe that our Heavenly Father brought and drew our families together. Hallelujah!
This son Steve is out on the cutting edge. He works for the Lord big time. Amen! If the Lord should bring someone else into your life you world and ask you to give to them that special love and care, what would you do? Embrace them or say sorry, there is no room at the inn. Friends I hope you would find room in your heart to say yes there is room for you. As you ponder on this, please be generous and loving for the Lord may be knocking on the door of your heart this very moment.

The Supernatural Glow
Friends, I would like you to come back with me to my early years back in our church. I was just trying to find my way around and getting to know the Lord one day when I was about to leave church. The Lord spoke into my heart and told me to speak to this lady. When I looked around there was a crowd of people heading out the door. Well hello! I asked the Lord which one?
Next week the same thing happened again. I couldn't see the lady He told me about. The next week the Holy Ghost said to me "this one, this lady. " She was in the crowd like before. But this time a supernatural ring like a glow lit up her face. I was gobsmacked.
Through the next week the Lord was telling me to go to this lady on Sunday. I said "I will Lord do what you want, but I cant get to her. So please let her be right there for me." So on Sunday, off we went to church. Friends would you believe that the only person waiting near the door, yes you guessed it, was that lady. It was as if the Holy One said to me, there I have brought her right to you. As I hugged her and said Jesus loves you, she was taken back. She said, you don't know how much this means to me," as she hugged me back. I will tell you one day.
Well we became best friends. What she told me was that she was trying to hide out in the crowd because no one looked in her direction or even gave her a smile. Our Daddy had other plans for her and her life. Amen! That precious daughter of God. The Holy Spirit, He had her show me and teach me many things of the spirit. Hallelujah! Still today she has moved to another state but we are still great friends bonded by the Almighty God. When I was learning to hear the voice of the Holy Ghost, He put my good friend around me.
I desired to hear my God speak to me. I hungered and thirsted for His personal relationship with me. One morning at about 2am I was woken up with a loud knocking on my front door, when I looked out, there was no one to be seen. My husband and children that were sleeping heard nothing. It happened the whole week. Then my friend who had the glow around her told me it was the Lord and many years later the Holy Ghost still calls me by knocking on my door.
Many wonderful things He has brought to me showing me a lot of my destiny in Him praise God. He published a book this year in April called "His Personal Touch." I have been waiting for that for 27 years. If you have something - a promise, a vision or a dream don't let it go. It will happen.

Don't Let Fear Overtake You
Hi readers. Hope this finds you well and happy but if not it is alright to have an off day. You know I was thinking about the Lord who holds our destiny in His hands. He took me back to my home town up north called Meekatharra.
I was always little and shy. I remember when I was five years of age, my mother dressed me up as little Bo-peep and my older brother as little boy blue. It was a yearly occasion. They had prizes to give to the best costume. As my mother was very good at making them, she always won the prize for being the best. Hello! Yes the best. Amen!
This year, as little Bo-peep, I was to walk down the aisle holding my brothers hand little boy blue. The costumes were beautiful as always. As we stood there looking at all the people I was so scared, my legs just would not move. My mother called to me "go on take your brothers hand and walk." I took one more look at all the people and froze. I could not move. My brother had to walk down on his own. By doing that mum missed out on the prize.
Mum had to literally drag me away as I felt paralyzed. I could not move. When I think of my God who knew every thing that happened that night and knew years later how He was going to use me. Up in church with some preaching and having me write psalms and reading them in church. Hallelujah! Also having His work in me published. One book and a second one in the pipe line. Hallelujah! Readers if you have a vision or dream to fulfill please don't let them fade away. God in His time will make it happen. God bless bye for now.

The Toy Aeroplane
Dear friends. I hope you're having a great day. Here is a little story for you. Hope you enjoy.
Jimmy and Johnny were the best of friends. Jimmy lived with his mother in a little house at the edge of town. His mother took in people's washing, mending and things so they could live. Johnny's mother and father on the other hand had plenty of money so whatever Johnny wanted, he always got. One day when Jimmy was walking past old Mr Smith's toy shop, one thing in particular caught his eye. It was a big black and silver aeroplane with red wings. "Oh I would love this plane," he thought! "I would give anything to have this". But he knew his mum just did not have enough money to buy it.
Each day straight after school you would see Jimmy at the toy shop window. This went on for a couple of weeks, then one day as Jimmy went to run off after school, Johnny stopped him and said, "Hey, Jimmy, where do you run off too every day?" Jimmy, who by this time wanted to share the secret with his friend said, "Come with me and I'll show you." Down the path ran the two lads, laughing and shouting as they went. Down passed the cake shop, they ran, then passed old Charlie's fruit and veggie shop, around the corner to the toy shop.
"Wow"! cried Johnny when he saw it. "Wow that's neat!" Jimmy felt so pleased that Johnny liked what he loved also. Soon the boys went home. The next day however when Jimmy ran to his favourite window he felt his heart would break, as his beautiful aeroplane had gone! He started towards his home, but instead found himself at the gate of his friend. As he stood there thinking Johnny might take his mind off his plane, he saw something silver and black in Johnny's hand, yes with red wings.
"Johnny, Johnny, how could you do it to me. You knew I loved that plane." "So get your mother to buy one for you too" cried Johnny. "You know she can't Jimmy replied." Poor Jimmy went home quite sad. After about an hour of being home, Jimmy thought he heard a noise. He looked out of the window and alas, there lay the plane on his lawn. He flew down the stairs and on to the lawn. Just as he picked it up, Johnny came into the yard, "Its supernatural," he cried. "I had it in my hand one minute and then the next it wasn't there and I just knew it would be here."
Well they never understood what really happened, but Johnny gave Jimmy the plane and said, "keep it as I have plenty of other toys." So Jimmy and Johnny are once again best friends. You can hear their laughter as they both play with the plane in Jimmy's yard. But I wonder how the plane got into Jimmy's yard? Johnny still says its "supernatural" but I think we'll leave it up to you...... What do you think?

The Lamb Knows Your Name
Good morning readers. I would love to share a psalm with you today. It's called "The Lamb Knows Your Name."
I will praise and love my God my King. Amen! While the very breath of God dwells within me, I will cry out to all those who hear me of His great love and mercy. Hallelujah! Of His wonder and delight. His peace and joy. I will sing praises to His Mighty Name as the angels join in from heaven above. Amen! Singing glory, glory, majesty and honour.
You are clothed oh God in splendor and in righteousness. You go on for ever and ever. Jehovah is the very reason I am alive. I live for Him every day of my live. Before I was birthed in my mothers womb, my days, my years were created by the one glory who said "let there be" and the universe was created.
He sent his own son into this world to die for you and me. Jesus. His name is Jesus. If you don't know him, well He knows you. He calls you by name. His love for you is shown in His hands where the holes, where the nails went in is still there this very day. Hallelujah! Look to Jesus. Be lead by His nail pierced hands. Come and worship the one and only King of Glory. Amen!

From My Heart to My Sons
Hello out there, I hope there are some mothers who have a loving son.
Michael, you came into my life in Gods perfect timing. You came, you touched my heart. I melted at the sight of you as love whispered I am here to stay. My son night and day, taking that little hand in mine. Looking in those eyes so brown.

Are they tears of regret I see? My son I am glad you see.
You might say, that can't happen to me. I thought that once long ago. I pray that won't happen to you or yours but if it does don't turn him away. Just hold him and love him this very day. A mothers love. A mothers love. There is nothing like a mothers love. Loving here. Loving there. She will love you every where. My precious son, mama would buy you the moon and the stars the silver and gold if she could. Good night my son. Your loving mama.

Think of me as a vessel that God uses. Jesus wants you all to remember, He loves you very much. He died for you all. He knows every thing about you all.

Every time you look at your gifts, think Jesus. Thank Jesus for you all belong to Him. He loves you so much, and He's given me the gift of loving you too. Amen. Jesus gives us gifts through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the giver of the gifts hallelujah! Why do you and me get the gifts to give out to Gods children? To help the kingdom of God. To bless His people and be a blessing to others. Glory. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is King. Hallelujah.

Mother Let Go
Hello to Mothers who have a teenager daughter. Or had one! You will know all about this. I have called this one "Mother Let Go."
Our teenager daughter is now doing the things, I used to do. I can see myself in her. I call her baby doll. She loves fashion, listening to her radio far into the night. I used to love that. Shutting herself in her room for hours, pretending to be a star or having a poster on the wall with her latest male singer.
Reading for hours. Mysteries and love books. I did all that and more. Hearing your lovely daughter say "mum and dad you're old fashioned, times have changed." Yes my baby doll, my princess, who I used to rock to sleep and say, "mama will buy you the moon and the stars, the silver and gold." That same young lady now says to me, "mother let me go, I need to grow up. I want to grow up. I still love you. I will always love you, but let go." Yes of course you must grow up my daughter but it's hard to let go.
Your dad and I will pass you over to our Heavenly Father. You will be in His care. We love you baby doll. God Bless and keep you.

A Love Letter from a Mamas Heart to her Lovely Daughter
Hi friends, I wonder if there are any mothers out there with their married daughters living in another state. If you are one of them just letting you know you are not alone. This is a poem I wrote about my daughter.
You know you are your mamas pride and joy. I have always been there to encourage and uplift you and even though, we are miles away, I am still here. I am your number one fan now and always. I am sure that I have told you of the poem I wrote of you where I have said, "my baby dolls smile would melt the coldest of hearts." That is still so true.
My child I love you so much, that I would buy you the moon and the stars the silver and the gold if I could and lay them at your feet. Always remember this where ever you may be, always know that my thoughts, love and prayers are always with you. I thank Father God every day for His precious gift of you to me around thirty five and a half years ago.
My awesome God placed this bundle of joy in my arms. As I held her, I kissed her tiny face and whispered, I know you are mine and I am yours. As her wonderful little fingers entwined into mine, I felt her answer back with, "I know you are mine and I am yours." From that moment on, no-one else would do. She screamed if any one came near. You didn't want to be out of my arms and I didn't want to let you go.
Tons of love and kisses. Your loving mama. Written 18 May 2005.

As her wonderful little fingers entwined into mine, I felt her answer back with, "I know you are mine and I am yours." From that moment on, no-one else would do. She screamed if any one came near. You didn't want to be out of my arms and I didn't want to let you go.
Tons of love and kisses. Your loving mama. Written 18 May 2005.
The Creator at Work
My readers, how are you keeping? I have a little poem to share - I hope you enjoy.
Oh my Jesus as I walk along the beach with you, you take my hand in yours. My heart almost stops beating. Then it's as if heaven is looking down and smiling at us. The handiwork of God is displayed. The stars come alive showing their Masters splendor. Hallelujah.
The glorious way you created your moon. You dressed it so lovingly, so beautiful and bright it stands out from the rest, bathed in beauty and majesty. The awesomeness of who you really are. You created the night with all its majestic glory. When you took all fear from the nights' time table and threw it away. Praise God. Amen.
You then put your hand to the day. This must be mighty and powerful as well. You spoke the sun into being. You too have a job to do. You made your sun to rise at one's day - bringing the warmth and sunshine into their hearts. You caused the sun to fall on your children, giving them health and happiness. Amen.
Thunder, lighting, rain, hale, ice and snow. You created them. All rainbows at the touch of your hand. You coloured each one magnificently then at the end of the day, all creation bowed their knee and sang praises to their God as their presence and beauty faded into their great Creators arms.

Jesus the Bright Morning Star
My dear friends, how is your world treating you? Good I hope. Today I have a psalm for you. I hope you will enjoy.
I only ever want to be lead by the Holy One of Nazareth, the only one that died for you and me, hallelujah! His nailed pierced hands tell the story of our Saviour long ago who suffered and bled on a cross far away.
He paid a great price that only true believers can understand. He came in love, as love and for love. As He hung there between heaven and earth, He thought of you all. You were all on His mind. Amen. He suffered for every last one of you. Hallelujah He took our place. He died for our sin. He was pure and holy, the sinless Lamb of God, our precious one. Our jewel that shines brighter, that glows stronger and last longer than any jewels.
He is Jesus. The King of Glory. Amen. The Bright Morning Star. The Creator of the Universe. He is the one and only one that spoke and life was born. He created angels who are at His beck and call. He is sending them forth to do HIS will,even as we speak. they are singing and worshipping their Master this moment. Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty. Glory to the lamb that was slain. Amen. Worthy is His Holy Name. Hallelujah. Majesty let us worship our Majesty, lifting up holy hands to your King and mine. Glory.
God of heaven and earth laid down His Kingsmanship to come into our world, to lead us back to heaven and home. He was born into our world as a little babe in Bethlehem. As that babe grew into a man, He was all man but He was God as well. The Holy One, the One who calls you each by name, the One who holds the stars in His hands. Amen. He watches over everything you do. He knows your every thought. He stretched forth, He spread out His hands and said "The is my love for you, then he died." Glory to the King for ever.

Treasured Moments
My friends. God bless you as you read this today.
The kids are off to school. The husbands at his work. The wife gets about her duties. Gee the house is still. She misses her children all day long. With her hands in the sink all covered with soap, she stands there awhile already to cope.
She thinks of her children, who were little and shy. Who would run to her and cry. She would mend the knees and kiss the hurts. On her knee they would climb. "We love you mama." Oh she loved to hear that. Later on when daddy came home, they both ran to meet him.
They loved having him home. At times like this she would turn her face towards heaven thanking Daddy God for all He had done. Amen. When at times they were sick, she would cuddle and kiss them and pray to take the sickness herself. She had tears in her eyes and when they had pain she would feel it for them. She hated to see her children sick. Now her children will be coming home. With a hug and a kiss she now greets them.
Her daughter stands taller than her and her son nearly as tall. They're growing up too quick, she sighs. The love that she feels, swells up in her heart. She wouldn't trade what she has for all the treasures in the world because she is richest mama in the world when she hears her family say we love you. And no one else will do cause your the best mum in the world.
Thank you dear Heavenly Father for our treasures. And hallelujah rang.

A Boy Like Ours
Friends I pray you are well and happy. I have little story to tell you. I hope you enjoy. Its called "A Boy Like Ours."
If you have a boy like ours, well you can feel quite blessed. One who's always there for you, who does the messy jobs you hate to do. There's my daughter and myself that can't stand the sight of blood. Or when spiders and creepy things decide to come and play. And when there is some thing you have to bury and you get some dirt on you. When your cats messed up and you have to clean it up.
Well my sons right there to do those messy jobs. Thank you mums' boy. He never does complain. He take it in his stride. He's such a loving son - so thoughtful and kind. We are so blessed for a wonderful son. This was written in 1983.
Is there any one that can say that this sounds like ours - I'd love to hear from you on the blog. Bye for now.

My Baby's Pillow
Friends - may I have your time for a moment or two. Thank you. I would love to share my heart again today. This story is about our own daughter it is called "My Baby's Pillow."
A pair of little feet you'll meet, if one night you came around. While mum and dad are sleeping, a pat on the cheeks and mum wakes up. With her pillow in her hands, her baby stands there, "move over mummy, I want to come in."
Yes that's the way it's always been. Our little girl our baby girl with her own pillow. She's always loved and half way through the night you'll always see her little feet standing at her parents bed, as she cries, "move over will ya mummy, i want to come in."
And still tonight, you'll see our girl though a big girl now with her pillow in her hands and a pair of feet quite bare and she cries "mum and dad move over." What a wonderful special blessing we do have. Now she is a grown woman but when she comes home to visit yes you guessed she come on our bed and we laugh and remember our wonderful times. She is married now but keeps our happy times in her heart.

God Is Real
Ladies young and ladies old. All around the table gather for Gods sweet presence. They do feel, as they whisper, God is real. He helped me here, He helped me there. Closing their eyes and lifting their hands, singing praises, they worshipped Him there.
Ones got a story to tell. One has got a poem to share. As the others listen, quite still, a voice says next one, "who else has a story to tell." Jesus is stirring the hearts of them all. Then a voice says, "I have got this mornings text to share." As the others listen right there, some more are preparing their hearts then to speak.
Amen. Amen and some hallelujahs too. Praise the Lord. He is worthy of the praise. The ladies now are saying goodbye, kissing and hugging and saying we will meet back here after the break. Readers if this saying something to you, please let me know. Write it on the blog. Until next time. Bye for now.

In Training by the Holy Ghost
Friends from the time I could remember, I always wanted to know God in an intimate way. I longed to have Him call my name, to speak to me like friends talking. Our mother always had us say our prayers to Father God and told us that Jesus was Gods Son who died on the cross for us. But I needed more. I needed to know Him for myself. I needed to know that He could talk to me here and now. Amen!
I remember in Sunday school hearing that God came to Samuel and called his name. Amen! I loved that. Hallelujah. I carried that around in my heart for years. I was gobsmacked, this was real. It was God and man communicating. When I was little, I used to go into my bedroom, close the door, and use my hairbrush as a microphone. I would look into my mirror as if I had an audience. That would be months at at time.
As years went by and I became born again, my best friend the Holy Ghost of God showed me that He had me in training for His work. Amen. Some of that work is preaching for Him. One day I was talking to a friend of mine. Her son told me this when he was a little boy. He would go into his bedroom close the door, use a stick and point on the back as if a blackboard. You know that little boy is now a grown man and he is a professor at the university.
What an awesome God our Creator is. Amen. It still leaves me to want to shout out His Praises into the universe. Friends wouldn't you like to know this great God of ours? To know what His plans for you and your loved ones are? If you want to meet with God and his son Jesus, turn from your sin, repent and ask Jesus to forgive you and ask Him into your heart. Then ask Him to show you a church and He will do the rest. Please let me know if you now belong to Jesus write a little on the blog. Until next time. God bless.

He is the Best Dad in the World
Friends I would like to tell you about a man that God brought into our lives if I could. Our children say of him that he's the best dad in the world. As I watch the man I love play with our children, the love that I feel swells in my heart. His tender touch. He is loving and kind.
As they run to greet him, he opens up his arms. With a hug and a kiss they sure greet him like this. What a dad they do have. Thank you Heavenly Father for making our kids glad. You gave to them the very best of dads.
Hey dad - look at this. Thank you dad for doing that. How he loves his two great kids morning, noon and night. He's always there to show he cares. Out with the footy, now come on son. Helps him all he can. Then his daughter is standing there all pretty. Come on dad, lets get going to the netball. Now don't be late.
Yes he loves his children. His precious gifts from God. If you ever want to meet him come and stay awhile for his kids will surely tell you he's the best dad in the world. Now I know you would say that your mum is the best mum in the world, but to me when I hear that from my kids I feel like a queen or a duchess. I feel very special for our children are to us the best in the world amen. Thank you friends. I pray this will bring happy times for you. God is there for you so thank Him for sending His Son Jesus for all of us. Bye for now. Until next time.

Innocence
Father God so Loves His children.
My friends may I share my heart with you this day. This is what happened. Two little innocent faces, peering up to me. One is my daughters loving face and other is my sons cute grin. Playing and laughing so happily, telling secrets as they go teasing and tricking me. Come on mama we are teasing you. I smile at them, enjoying their game. Oh I love them these children of ours.Praise God. Hallelujah. Does that remind you of your little ones? This was written in 1982. It is great to keep these alive in your heart.
The next one is called love. Have I ever told you of the love that I have for two little children that God gave to us. He took them aside till the timing was right, then He placed them with us to bring up quite right.
We are all in His plan brother and sister you see. He takes us and gives us as you will all see. So give all your love to your children each day and don't be ashamed to tell them to pray. Teach them and guide them and tell them of love. Through Jesus our Saviour who gave them to us. Amen. I am sure you have your own special moments. Our Creator wanted me to share all these with you. God bless all - each and every one. Until next time. Stay happy and safe.
A Day With The Lord. Amen!
My dear friends this is a day that we, us ladies, sometimes feel when are going through a bad day. I wonder if any of you has been in this place before. Please let me know on the blog. Thank you.
Could you lend the Lord your ear for just a little while. You know I'm not one to moan or get upset but last night I didn't sleep a wink. My throat hurt, my back ached and my husband snored all night.
Today is Tuesday. Well I think it is. The weather man said fine today but he is surely wrong. I can hardly hear a thing for the rain is pouring down. The postman is late again and that makes it three times this week. Lord, you know I'm not one to complain but it really takes the cake. All I ever get is bills. I feel so cold so very cold. My head is hurting, my nose is running, what a terrible day I am having.
My cousin Bill said he would come by to help me pass the day but Bill is such a dill and that wife of his is always in strife. Still I will try to be happy. Old Mrs Brown is calling out again. I don't know what she is saying. I suppose she is moaning again. I can't stand people who moan, can you?
Well Lord you know I love you. Betty Sue just ran right on by. That will be right, she's a little skite. What an awful day this is. What my children home already? Now my husband will be home sooner than I think. Lord tomorrow when I meet with you, I know you will be ticked pink cos you see I can hardly speak. Yes you got through to me about my nasty ways. Please forgive my moanings and let me share your love.

A Baby Girl - A Thankful Heart
Our Creator who knows all things and plans all things from above.
Hallelujah. They placed the small pink bundle in my arms. I felt as though heaven itself just stood and watched. I gave a sigh and then whispered "dear God thank you, with all my heart thank you."
I tenderly kissed that little face and my heart almost stopped beating. As Carol grabbed my fingers and held them and seemed to say mama I know that you are mine and I am yours. Well my baby girl is quite grown up, beautiful and smart. Let me tell you there are still times even now when Carol goes to take my hand my heart almost stops beating, as I quietly whisper "Carol Anne you are mine and I am yours." Thank you Father for my precious Carol. Thank you for creating me, her mama.Mothers are you reading this? I hope you are and that is bringing great joy as you read it. God bless you all . Until next time.
This was written in 1969.
A Mothers Plea
Jesus loves and forgives us even when we do wrong so repent tell Him you're sorry
Amen. Stand by your son, no matter what hes done for God who made you also made him. For God who loves you, also loves him. Stretch forth your arms and hold him tight, as God our Father holds us close. For every one who goes astray, for every lamb who has lost his way, our loving Father cries this way.
Your heart is breaking, your son is aching. Silence fills the air, then she finally hears him whisper, "I'm sorry mum." That's all she needs to hear as she embraces him tenderly, she cries "My son, my own boy, I want to do more." She smiles through her tears and softly whispers, "I will put you in our Fathers hands. The best for you, is in His loving care."
I am talking to you parents out there. If your child does wrong, love them and let them know that you are there for them. Please don't turn your back on them - that's when they really need you most.
Written in 1988.
Mothers
God made my mother, so full of grace and He gave her a beautiful face. Loving and longing and ready to share, always there when you need some care. Carrying the burdens too great to bear. Never too busy, she goes her children's pace. She doesn't want satin or lace. She just wants her children to love and be loved.
God made mothers. He made them all. They love and give and love so more. When Sunday comes around, that special mothers day, our two beautiful children quietly close the door. One is busy with the toast the other gets the tea. Then the whispers I can hear. Being woken up with tea and toast in hand. A kiss and a hug from my two favourite kids and hey mum "We've got you a gift." With tears in my eyes, I hug them right back and thank God for the privilege of being their mum.
I pray that this will mean something to some of you mums. That it may bring a smile to your face but if some of you don't feel the same way I pray that the pain will ease and that our God will bless you greatly. Bye for now. Until next time.

Growing Up
Heavenly Father, you created mankind to grow up. Amen!
From the cradle to the grave. Hallelujah! They've put their little toys aside. They're growing up too fast for me. I'd like them back the way they were, when mummy was enough to see. Kissing knees and getting hugs and protecting them from the world.But now it's come to us. What other parents must bear that thing called growing up that children have to face. No more do I hear, "Kiss it better mummy" or "Do you know that?" Now its I can do that and I know that.
Instead of putting them to bed each night the way I used to do, it's "Can I watch a movie?" or "Can I read some more." Yes our kids are in their teens but I still hug and kiss them and check at them at night for I know they will always be our sheer delight.
You parents who are reading this may relate to all this. If you do just let me know. Write a comment on my blog. I'd love to hear from you. Thank you and God bless each and every one of you. Bye until next time.
Our Childrens Secret
Do you like secrets? I know I love good ones.
Good morning my friends. Any mums out there who might be reading this, I pray that you will be blessed of the Lord as you let Him touch you.
Tomorrow we will go shopping, the children whispered all excited. There is only one week left to go before that day is to come. The love that I felt for my children swelled in my heart. Their loving ways, kind and thoughtful. As I thanked Father God for the blessings He did give, the tears they fell like raindrops like a quiet but heavy storm.
As morning breaks and day begins, our children depart for an early start. I'm watching the time that's ticking away. The phone rings, "mum we are coming home." Through the door they do come all excited with gifts.
Nineteen years ago, on Sunday a week from now, my husband and I became as one. Pretty green paper and bows of cream as the boxes are placed on the cabinet and the children cry with glee, "you can look now, but don't you touch."
I can hardly wait till Sunday, can you? Yes you may ask, well what did your children get you? A beautiful silver plate with silver salt and pepper shakers and a beautiful card. You know I always have told our children I would buy them the moon and the stars if I could and the silver and gold. But putting them in Our Creators hands is the best of all. Amen! Thank you my Holy Spirit. You have given to us something so priceless that money can't buy. Thank you for being here friends. God Bless. Until next time.

Growing Up With Jesus
Jesus would sit down, and the little ones would sit upon His knees, they all loved their Jesus.
Amen. My friends how are you today? Well I hope and I pray this will touch your hearts as you hear yet another story.
To my children I tell of the years with them - from babyhood and toddlers. Then as the years came creeping up, as teenagers.
Now with our kids, Carol (Boo) and Michael (Mate), we are sharing every minute to live and love with them each day. We tell them of Jesus our Saviour this day who knew them and loved before they were born, who knew every hair upon their head and every thought before its said. I would like to thank you Jesus for giving to us two precious children.
As they went to school each day I could hardly wait for the day to go by. Each day their dad Joe would ring and say to me did the kids get off alright today? For you see he loves his children so very much. At times like this dear Lord I feel that saying thank you doesn't seem enough. What more can I say. What more can I do but offer myself as a vessel to You so that you may use me as you will.
If any mums are reading this, I wrote this in 1983. Of course our children, Carol and Mike, are grownup now and are beautiful and smart. They know that their Jesus, God's Son is with them now and for ever. If this has touched your hearts in any way mums, please write it on the blog. God bless you.
Why Aren't I Loved? Why Aren't I Wanted?
Jesus says suffer the little children to come unto Me.
My friends, I would like to share my heart with you this day. My heart goes out on this beautiful day God has made, as I sat in the presence of a young man. He told me his story. It was sad and he was broken hearted. If you looked at him you mightn't have seen it, but I knew as he spoke that he was hurting inside.His sister and brothers had parties and gifts but he didn't. The young man couldn't work out why was he treated different? Not a thing did he get or a kind word or smile. Yet still his mum and dad gave out those things to the rest. Don't they know, they have left out the best.
So at sixteen he headed out the door. The others saw - didn't they care? Now as I ponder on this man, my heart and soul cries out for him. I told him there's people who care and Jesus knows and loves him so. Now he will soon be a dad himself. He will pour out on his child what he never had - the love, the gifts and the dreams untold.
In the moments when he has time to think, his soul still cries out why was I left alone to weep? Why couldn't the others see through my lack of sleep. Now my heart skips a beat as my mind goes back to another little one very close to my heart. My soul cries out I love him and try to be there to show him I care.
This little one is growing up with a ache in his heart and wonders why his brothers are being taken out places while he has to stay behind. I pray he will be blessed of the Lord. Doesn't Jesus say suffer the little children to come unto me. Our Lord will see this little one through what ever is ahead. He is a grown man now. I believe he is doing well. Praise the Lord. Amen.

God Spoke Out of the Thunder and Lightning.
An Instant Answer from the Creator of the Universe
Good morning friends, I hope you are enjoying your day. I would like to tell you another story.The Lord put on my heart to pray for my second son. So going into the lounge room around twelve o'clock that night I started to pray. As I got into one area, I stopped and asked the Lord is this the way you want me to pray?
Outside some rain fell very lightly and we were told by the TV station that not much rain would fall. So I asked my Creator - the maker of all weather. I said Lord if you want me to pray in this area please let thunder roar so loud and let lightning light up my kitchen window. As I was standing looking towards the window, no sooner than my words came out, did thunder roared so loudly. My two lounge windows shook so fiercely and the lightning lite up my kitchen windows. As I stared as if in a trance. I felt the thunder come upon me as if it engulfed me.
Wow! Wow! The Lords timing is perfect, but he does not always answer straight away. Hello it blew me away, as it were. There was a reason. He wanted me to pray that way for my second son. Always be ready and obedient when He calls you. He always has a plan and purpose for each of His children, amen! When the Lord answers you instantly it's something you never forget. I stand in awe of Him the Great King. Be encouraged as you hear these stories and praise the God of the universe for one day He might call your name and tell you He has something special for just you to do. Maybe it's to help others with the gifts He's put in you. Would you be ready my friend? I pray that you will. God bless you.

The Canoe That Didn't Tip Over
Jesus was in the boat with his disciples while the storm rage around them. They were fearful but Jesus spoke to the storm and it stopped.
Our daughter was going on one of her many school excursions. At that that time she had not learnt to swim. It was my fault, as I did not want her to go near the water. I always discouraged her finding excuses not to let her go. One day my daughter came home saying that all the school had to go on canoes across the lake.
I let out a sigh. Oh no I did not want to let her go. The day my daughter headed out the door to go to her excursion, I lifted my face towards heaven and cried oh my Father God please keep her safe. Amen. That day dragged on like it was never going to end.
About eleven o'clock I felt very uneasy so I started to pray big time for my little girl. At the end of my prayer I kept on in the presence of my God. By then I knew that my Jesus, God's Son, had kept my little girl safe and she would run through the door with a story to tell.
Well you guessed it! Yes my daughter surely had a story to share. "Mum! Mum!" she cried as she came running to the door. "Hello, I knew you were praying around eleven o'clock. She continued, "That morning the children all had to go into their canoes," I asked Jesus to help me mum. As I got into the last one it was around eleven o'clock and we were all heading out. One by one all the canoes tipped over, but mum, the one I was in did not tip over, or bend, or any thing." Praise the Lord.
"Mum I knew you were praying at that time." Thank you Jesus. "Jesus loves the little children doesn't he mum." Yes darling," I replied, "and He knew that you couldn't swim. Readers our daughter of course is a grown woman now and is a very good swimmer. My daughter knew her Jesus and she prayed that day as well as I had.
The last shall be first. The Lords words. My daughter was in the last canoe. Do you think that was by chance? No our Jesus would have taken my daughter by the hand and led her into the last canoe. I pray this will be a blessing to some of you mums and your little ones God bless all who read this.

A Childs Faith
The Answered Prayer
Hi friends. I hope this finds you at peace. Today's story is about our son, who at the time was about nine years of age. He was getting ready for school and making sure I heard what he wanted, he asked. "Mum could i have a pocket knife please." He had asked me before. I had always said, "no son your too young." This day I said ask your Heavenly Father and pointed up to the heavens. I smiled to myself and said, "I got out of that alright."
My son replied with a grin "Okay I will." As he went out the door, I thought no more about it. I went on my way. The day was an ordinary day like many others we all have. Before long, school was out and I heard our son before I saw him. "Mum, Mum," he was shouting and holding some thing in his hands.
Friends I could not believe what I saw. He was holding a pocket knife. This is what he said,"When I left home, I did ask my Heavenly Father if I could have the knife. I was walking down the same track as always, and I stepped on some thing hard and shinning."
When I picked it up, it was the knife - the pocket knife. I was stunned. Readers I was really stunned. You see on the knife was writing. It read God answers prayers. Well what do you think about that?
As if that wasn't enough, the next week the same thing happened again. This time the message read "The Lord is my Shepherd." That little boy has never forgotten that. Of course he is now a grown man he never forgets that his Heavenly Father was there for him. If you are wondering how those knifes got there, he feels the angels put them under his feet by Gods command. I think that too. No other children at that school had any thing like them.
Our Heavenly Father answered a little boys prayer, letting him know that he was there and that he cares. Amen! God also knows and cares about you my friends.

Saving a Toddlers Life
The importance of knowing the voice of the Holy Ghost
Hi friends. I'm praying that today will find you all well and happy. Today's story will take you back with me in time. It all began when I used to go power walking with my best friend the Holy Ghost.While on my walk, he would teach me many things along the way. In those days I was pretty new with things of the spirit, but he would gently take my hand and tell and show me what he wanted me to know.
For fourteen years straight, during winter, summer, spring and autumn you would find me out there every day walking and talking with my best friend. I would do this six and some times seven days a week. Amen.
This day started out like any other day. I would walk for an hour, then turn around and walk back so my walk would be two hours a day, every day. Hallelujah. As I was putting my shoes on this day, I looked at the clock and it was quarter to four. Although I was ready, I decided that I would leave at four o'clock, Hello! Yes, you guessed it! My best friend had other ideas. He prompted me to go now. The message was very strong.
So off we went, my God and I. I went along the same route as I always did, but my eyes caught sight of some thing that for a second made my blood chill. A little boy about two years or less was about to step onto the busy highway. The traffic was busy - non-stop.
As I grabbed him my heart skipped about a million beats. Praise the Lord as I held this little one in my arms, I just thanked God that he prompted me at that time. I was gobsmacked that he was on his own. Where were his parents?
Hello! My God had the answers. Normally there were people all around walking and riding bikes. Usually there was a lot of action but on this day not a soul was a round - just the loud and noisy traffic.
This day was a divine appointment planned by the Almighty God for me. You once again may ask where was his parents? Where was any body? I looked around. My eyes then fell on the fence where I saw a little hole.
I climbed through with the little and soon found my self on the other side. There were some people sitting outside the house. They started pointing and shouting when they saw me. A lad about fifteen years of age came over to us snatching the little one from me saying did you find him on the road again?
When he marched back to the others I know that my God wanted me to save his life. I have wondered over the years what did happen to him. Maybe he loves my God and is helping others doing the Lord's work. What do you think readers? I know when I get to heaven I will find out. Bye for now. Praying you will pass on what you have learnt from the King of Kings.

The Perfect Gift
Father God gave his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die for you and me. John 3:16.
Hi friends. I hope you are ready for a wonderful story again today. It begins with my cousin having a birthday celebration. Once more I asked my wonderful best friend the Holy Spirit what to get her that she will love.
He led me to a different shopping centre. This will blow your mind. Hello! I felt him lead me to a womens clothes shop. I looked at this and that. As I was pondering He had me to pick up two beautiful fluffy tops - one white and one black. As I asked the Lord which one to get, He showed me the black one.
So feeling really great, I bought it and I could not wait to go and give it to her. As she opened up her present, she let out a scream. "You are not going to believe this," she cried. "You brought this at such and such place didnt you?" I said "yes."
My friends what she told me next was amazing. How can I tell you how I felt as she explained that the day before she was at that same shopping centre, in the same shop, holding that same black top waiting in line to purchase it. As the line was long and her boys were getting restless, she put it back and said to the Lord "I would love this but I have to go." Taking her boys back home she felt dissappointed.
Our God knows and cares about every thing in our lives. What an awesome heavenly Father. Knowing and caring and feeling her heart, He wanted to make that right for her. So He sent one of his helpers to make that right for her.
I feel so blessed to be a part of Gods work. Would you like to come on board? Look to see what lies in store for you? I can't tell this story, and all the others, without crying and shouting to the world that we are so blessed with a Creator, the only Creator of the universe, who is there for mankind. So I ask you to come and enjoy all His glory as it covers the whole world. Leaving you now. Come to Jesus. Until next time. Bye for now. God bless.

Strange but True
Jesus knows every thing about you before you even open your mouth.
He knows what you will say. Its awesome. Be encouraged this day as you read my story. You would know by now that the Holy Spirit has given me gifts to help and bless His children. He brought a couple, a husband and wife, into our lives that He wanted to bless.
So He laid it on my heart for my husband and I to take them out for dinner one night. Then He gave me a plan. Listen to this! I felt to ask my cousin and her husband to be involved to help make it a wonderful night for that couple one they would never forget.
So the Lord put this plan in my mind. I asked my cousin to pretend to be a secretary and send out a ticket to say they had won a dinner for two at this restaurant that only just been opened.
So I had my cousin to put her phone number down in case they rang to check up. Her husband was going to be the chauffeur for the night and was going to pick them up and take them to dinner. I had him wear a cap like the chauffeurs. He told them that the limousine was in the garage being worked on so he took them in another car.
Every thing was great. My husband and I were to meet them but hello I was gobsmacked when they told me they believed everything because a month before they were there at that very place and brought a ticket the second prize was you guessed it a dinner for two. How great is our God. Amen.
Friends can you believe that? As my daughter use to say, you could have knocked me down with a feather. I have goose bumps on my goose bumps just hearing that. All my hairs on my neck stand up. But of course I know that the Almighty and his anointing is His power going through us. Hello! The Lord tells me to tell every one of His great and mighty deeds. Up until now I had to keep it.
His - the Lords timing is perfect. Now is the time and this is way to share His precious gems if you will. Thank you Lord and I love you. As a helper of the Lord I feel blessed doing His work. If you want to make a difference in other peoples lives come to Jesus and ask Him what gifts He has put in you so you can give out to others on His behalf. Say yes to Jesus and He will turn your life around. Until next time. God bless you and bye for now.

The Wrong Picture
The word of knowledge through the Holy Ghost
Hi friends. I hope this day finds you allhappy and having a great day. My story begins with my Holy Ghost laying a man on my heart to pray for.
As I was praying for him the Lord told me to buy a gift for him. This was very hard to do as we never have very much money. In addition, although my husband loves the Lord, he does not understand the works of the Spirit. Nevertheles, I had to do what my God told me.
My husband took me, where I was meant to go, but telling me very strongly not to ask for any more money. Thats it. I was upset. With my husbands words ringing in my ears, I was lead into a christian book shop. I asked my best friend, the Spirit of God, what do you want me to get?
He led me to a picture of a scripture that said "all things work together for good, for those who love the Lord, and are called for his purposes." Romans 8-28.
Hello I looked down at my money and saw that I was three dollars short. You guessed it, my husbands words "don't ask for any more" were still ringing in my ears. So I asked the man, are these on special?
He said yes for the price that was displayed. I asked the Lord to help me. So I still didn't get any where. Hello what was I to do. I saw another beautiful picture, but it wasn't the one I was told to get.
I thought this is a nice one, I will have to take this one. Would you believe from the moment I put my money over and I heard a voice say, "you have got the wrong picture."
Meeting my husband I didn't tell him what I was hearing so we went home but, you guessed it, all night long I kept waking up with the wrong picture. So by morning I knew what I had to do.
I told my husband that we had to go back and pay three dollars more. Wow! Let's say if you were a fly on the wall you would had a earful, but Praise God, my husband was a good boy afterall.
We must be obedient when the Holy Spirit speaks to us. When I gave this man his gift, he just praised his God big time for the Lord had spoken to him at the start of the year and given him that scripture. He had underlined it in his bible and God spoke to him all year about it and at the end of the year He had me buy it for him.
God almighty gave it to him to keep. He was gopsmacked. I was too. Friends I pray this will touch and stir your heart. Jesus is calling you come to Him. Let Him draw you to the life He has destined for you. Until next time. Bye for now.

The Little Things in Our Lives
The Lord God knows and cares about the smallest details of our lives
Praise His name forever. Amen. Hi friends, its great to be with you all once more, I hope you are having a great day.
My story begins with the Holy Spirit and I at our shops. It all happened with fashion. There was at this time some trousers, called culottes, that were in season. Every shop had them and every shop seemed to sell out very quickly.
So I asked my best friend God if I could have a pair. I had been looking around everywhere but there was none left. But hello! I felt my Spirit of God say "look there in a rack of odds and ends." So I looked at the rack and hiding away with other clothes was one pair.
I was over the moon it was like my God had hidden them just for me. I picked them up and folded them over my arm. While thanking Him, I kept looking around. Another lady customer came over to me and said where did you find them? I am looking too. Well there were no more to be found. Thanking my God I kept moving around, but every move I made that lady was at my side saying to me are you sure you want them?
Hello! Yes I was sure. I spoke to the lady in the change room. I knew her, so I said, "can I leave this here with you while I go home and get my money?" She said she would. As I walked half an hour back home, friends it was like one hundred degrees in summer time. I kept praying that my husband would pick me up along the way as he would often do that. But hello! No such thing today. But it all went my Lord's way. So I walked home the whole way.
I thought I would get a nice ride back to the shops with my husband so I could get my trousers. As time ticked by, I could see he wasn't coming. I found my purse and thought, I would wait a little bit longer. Then I heard these words, "go now there is a lady trying to steal your trousers." At first I thought it was just me. Then I remembered that strange lady always watching me and wanting my pants. As I sat there the words were getting stronger. "Go now." So I set off in the heat. Hello! Still no sign of my husband.
As I entered the shop, my friend greeted me with "I am so glad you are back there is a lady out there that said you had changed your mind and she will buy them." I was in awe of our Great God. Wouldn't you want to know our God of the universe and His son Jesus Christ. How he is in my life! He wants to be in your life and have you be in his. Hello! Don't let others tell you your Creator wouldn't care about the little things in your life. He cares about the small and big things in your life. Hello! You have just read this. I am proof of that. Until next time bye for now.
