LOOKING BACK AT 2007

Its amazing how the year goes by so quickly, well one can argue that its relative I will not justify myself further.

Its yet that time of the year again CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR, the end of the year. Time to look back and reflect on what we have achieved and what we have failed to achieve. A time to reflect on the events that have happened throughout the year. Its very easy to focus on our failures than achievements as mostly failures and shortfalls are not as easy to swallow as sucesses. The most tough thing that one has to face at this time of the year is the remembrance of those loved ones who have passed on in the course of the year as well as missing their company during the season. This is one of the toughest thing that we face in life, CHANGE and accepting both the good things and sad or bad things that we have experienced.

My word of encouragement today is that whatever we are facing, whatever we have gone through, whatever we have achieved this year, be it good or bad or painful, let us not dwell on the negative side but consider the positive outcomes that could spring out of that situation.

Life is full experiences and the different experiences we have make our life story.

Let us keep on moving no matter what we encounter for at the end these experiences make our life story. How do we want our life story to be told?



Something to chew on, Proverbs 3 vs 5-6 " Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and He will make your paths straight"



I WISH YOU ALL A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY 2008.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

WHEN YOU HAVE HOPE......

Hello again, it is yet another day with all that it brings. Today I want to talk about HOPE. It is part of our human nature to hope for something, most of the time we hope for good things. But what happens when what we hoped for does not come to pass? Heart breaks, dreams shattered, pain and so many other conditions that accompany the different states of reaction that I just mentioned above.

My message today is so simple but not the easiest to accomplish. Well I will say with HOPE one can climb the highest mountain, can find a way out of the deepest and darkest valleys of life. With Hope all things are possible but the main thing is where have you placed your HOPE? Where one places there HOPE also matters. Check where your HOPE is, is it in a human being, some god, or in God.

The only HOPE that has worked for me is in GOD. If I would give a recommendation, thats the one I would recommend for you my dear coleagues.

Till we meet again, remember THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE WHATEVER THE SITUATION MAY BE.
