Monday Musings...

So many things to be thankful for.....this delightful autumn weather, getting the boy's bunk bed together AT LAST!!!!!, getting my room back to myself - our front lounge is now officially a Tiffany Zone again!!!!, catching up for good Italian coffee with my beautiful friend & her daughter, answers to a dear writing friend's puzzling & worrying illness - MS is the disease BUT she is such a strong amazing person who will use even this to her advantage, watching a movie WITHOUT interruption with Shaun! & meeting more relatives on Shaun's side of the family (though it is due to the sad occasion of Chris' funeral) ......they are loud, funny, full of life & love to debate & argue!!~! I think my family are ever so slightly more demure in our discussions!!!

Have a joyful week,

Beautiful Words......

All my hope on
God is founded,
all my trust
He shall renew
He, my guide through
changing order
only good & only true
God unknown He alone
calls my heart to be
His own.

Monday Musings...

Well there are a few things I have been musing on over the past few days. Firstly sadness in the death of Shaun's aunt. She was just a young 60 & was diagnosed with secondary tumors approximately 4 months ago. She had a fight from the start and she slipped away last Thursday afternoon with her husband, daughter & some of her siblings around her. She had been very sick and so we want to say she is in a better place with no pain. My prayer is that she really did know the Lord as her personal saviour because only then can we say she truly is in a better place.

However I am reminded that God is over all things, he knows the beginning from the end and only He can make the crooked path straight.

Another thing I have been musing is how blessed I am to live here in Adelaide with our wonderful arts community. Currently the Adelaide Festival & Fringe is on. As a part of this fabulous 2 weeks is the Northern Lights display. It is a lighting display shown on some of our old buildings in the city & it is truly magical. Best of all it is FREE!!! We went to view it Saturday night & I have to say it did my soul good.

Have a look for yourself.......it is truly magical..............

Have a beautiful week,

The numbers game....

Having just finished my essay re Home Made Food is much better for our health here is a small excerpt of what I wrote:

"Now we hear numerous accounts of children with such problems as ADD, ADHD, excema and asthma, irritable bowel syndrome in gigantuan propertions. If we as a society have become so advanced and have it all, how and when did this happen?

I believe these modern day problems are strongly linked to the foods we eat today. We are so highly geared towards fast meals. Time is of the esswence. Many families are dual income - both parents working because of need (or is that greed). Our mortgages and debts are mounting, our lifestyles frantic and our families are being fed on the run. Takeaway has become a norm and our kids "freak out" if they don't get McDonald's regularly. Have you stopped outside your local takeaway lately and noted what a roaring trade they are doing - any night of the week?"

Anyway.....it gives some foo for thought....

Have a beautiful week,
