In Times of Trouble

                            Fear,  Anxiety,  Worry

There is always something that can cause worry and take our eyes off our faith and trust in God. Yesterday in church our Pastor spoke on the parable of the sower                                                                                                    

Then He (Jesus)spoke many things to them in parables, saying:                                     

“Behold, a sower went out to sow.                                                                             

And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside;                                                      

and the birds came and devoured them."

Matthew 13:3-4

Our Pastor said something I had never thought of before. He called the birds, satan. He told us that satan comes along in different ways, and takes away the good God gives us. The wayside Gods seeds fall on, is the hardness of our hearts.

Do we put other things, work, sport, entertainment before God? 

I don't want to be one of those people!

I want to have God seed planted deeply within my heart.

I want it to grow and thrive so that I can give out to others.

"My love is for God, who knows me                                                                         

and hears my voice when I cry out.

When the grip of fears and anxieties                                                                         

take hold of me, when I come to grief and sorrow                                                         

I call on God and find relief." Psalms 116

I don't want to allow satan to gain control. 

I want to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, the lover of my soul.

From the small to the large, God loves us.

So... smile, safe in the knowledge of where you belong...and let God's seed grow.

I am so please to tell you, it has been five days since I have had to take pain relief.                                                         Many have prayed for me and I have also prayed, God Is Good!! 

Love Is A Friend

Coming from church we often go past and stop at, a produce market.
Where a variety of lovely fresh fruit and vegetables can be purchased.
I can't walk very far, so I sit and wait while Ray does the shopping.
Finished we walk back to the parked car.

A man sitting near the exit gate, had something for sale in the boot of his Ute.
Ray went over to see what it was so I followed.

Gorgeous little puppies perfectly kept, roamed playfully around in the confined space.
We had no intention of buying a dog, it was the last thing we were thinking of.
Ray and I looked at each other, they were so sweet, especially one.

I fell, hook line and sinker.
Ray paid the money and I carried her to our car.
We talked of names on the way home.
I have always wanted Daisey for a girl dog or Harley for a boy.
This was a girl, but she didn't suit Daisey.

Mille` popped into my head, so that was it..
She now had a name.
When we arrived home I looked up the meaning?
It means 'Helper to the priest."
WOW!!!!

Taking her outside with Monty, he is not sure what to make of her.

Monty is small but she is only about a quarter of his size.

She is Adorable..

                        Welcome to our home Mille` .... (pronounced Mill-e)
