But the greatest of these is love

(Story is shortened) Unexpectedly you came into my life … I was not searching for someone like you. It just happened and you swept me of my feet with your beauty. The first time I saw you I was in awe. A dream girl so beautiful in all ways I can think of. But your […]

Keep your eyes on Jesus

During July 2017 I started feeling uneasy about my chest. At the age of 60 I still played action netball and I thought the pain was because of a bump against my chest. I then told myself that the stabbing pains I got were because of an injury but I became more and more anxious. […]

Wait and see

Sunday night at bedtime my sun of almost 8 wanted to know what our bodies will look like in heaven. I told him that we aren’t sure, maybe like angels, but Jesus said that it will be beautiful new bodies. A few seconds later he said: “I just asked Jesus and He says: Wait and […]

My times are in Your hands

For 18 years, by hook or by crook, I roller-coasted from high to low (sometimes rock bottom) but the Lord blesses me, being a single parent of 3 beautiful children. They now are grown-ups with their own families. Children who go to church on Sundays, grand children who attend Sunday school and Youth service. Everything […]

Your bill has been settled

I would like to tell you how someone else, just at the right time, redirected my focus to Jesus. Two weeks ago, my husband and I took my mom for breakfast to celebrate her birthday. My husband was in a bit of hurry and had to leave just after having eaten. My mom and I […]

The sun will certainly shine again

My beautiful wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and before we knew it, we were right into the big C. Well, we had to get through it and we spoke to our heavenly Father because that is our only source of help. We went through many operations and then came the chemotherapy. We didn’t always […]

Faithful indeed

During 1996 I lost my job and decided, after attending several interviews and being unsuccessful, that I will start my own venture. I prayed to the Lord and undertook that, if He would help me to be successful, I and the people we work for will start each day reading a chapter from a Christian […]
