Thankfull thursday ~ true BEAUTY ~

WHAT IS IT ABOUT GOD'S CREATION THAT CAUSES YOU TO MARVEL? Is the question Laurie at "Womantaking a stand" asked for this TT !!

You may think why i put this energetic picture of my dd??

In my daily life i'm intriged by the energy......The Spirit to Live Life what you can notice in kids/youth......and on the other hand I'm intriged by elderly who i work with.How they get through this life....How they look at it....What Life did to them...How God protect them to reach this oldage etc........When i look at old people I see and respect their STRONG SPIRIT in them,what carried them........

That's why i put this contrasting picture of this Special lady to my heart I always called her "Nene Dina" She experienced me from baby untill young adult when i left to come and life in Europe!

I know she witnessed and endured my energetic spirit ( so mother so dd) with a lot of Love and care.I'm so thankfull that God kept her and that she may see only by His Grace on the 25thof this month her 90th Birthday!!

Proverbs 31:17She is energetic and strong,a hard worker.



Here she was making a dish and my grandmothers sisters where watching, helping and of course tasting one of a lot of tastefull dishes she prepared daily !

Father God i'm so thankfull for Life, to Live Life and bring honour to you with it.

That You and you alone can carry us through and gave us each and everyday of it.

Thank you for my kids and dh's and there life.For the memories we can make with eachother and with the people You bring in our life.Thank You for my "nene Dina" and all the love and wisdom and strenght you gave her and use her to give it to others. Forgive me and everyone for the times we are not living consciousely enough with the life you gave us........and learn us how to Life wisely.

This i pray in Jesus name Amen.

My mind is "tossing" friends what request i have for today.Frequently my mind looks at what request there are for the people i come accross or my loved ones.

This morning i want to bring 1st a lady(young) who is heavy on my heart already for 3 days since i hear what disaster striked her. In my heart i know the devil tempted and tried his utmost to stop a bright future for her......Since i know her from her teens she is quiet and verry much attached to her family..especially her mum.In two weeks time she would do her final exams to become a doctors assistant and that would have made her family proud!
She asked advice for a problem she FEARED would harm her mum and herselfe.....We prayed and begg her to keep peace of mind!They where frequently physical attacked and treatened several times.... all ended up at the police but was seen as a "neighbour..."
To make a story short "she took matters in own hand"...The neighbour is now with braindamage in the hospital and she is in jail for 4 days facing jail sentence......!!
* Please help me to pray for this young girl...That she put the step to ask for advice and prayer tells me she knew Godsspirit was needed in the situation she was in.......That Godsspirit will show himself clearly to her....that God has mercy upon her and protect her in the situation she is in and that...She will come out of this victorious.....and know that her help came from God solely and no one else.That she will come out of this praising and serving God...
Pray for ALL involved to KEEP PEACE of MIND!! For the neighbour in the hospital....I don't know her state but as it sound it is critical.....!!
Thank you for praying with me over this.

* Another prayer request is for the school team of my kids.....
After a long suffering illness a teammember died last tuesday.
Comming tuesday they will close the school and say goodbye and celebrate her life.

* I ask prayer for a sick family member who just heard he is suffering from a verry aggressive cancer....I want to pray especially that he will know and accept that there is life in God in "this life" and after death. I remember i talked about this topic exactly last year ...........
Pray for me to find the right words when i will encourage him in this time of sickness and treatment.

* There is a lot of spiritual emptiness in people.In the wrongplaces they ar searching.......I remember a song i posted last saturday fom Mandisa who sings about this.
Let's lift those people up in prayer and ask God to bring them on our path's. So we can wittness to them,pray with them and go alongside with them...

Thank You father God that we can come to you and bring all our worries to you father .We know that all the power of healing, strenght, peace,wisdom and Love and SO much more that was manifested in and through Your son Jesus Christ. Is still at work in us and through us....We can ask everything father as i remember is said in your word......So we ask...and while asking align our minds and heart with YOUR WILL and give us patience to wait also and BE STILL and know that You are GOD. The LORD OF LORDS who IS and will be. Teach us GUIDE us and KEEP US save.....I ask this in Jesus Name Amen.

tribulation. 1 Samuel 26:24

Loving Lord, we thank you for the preciousness of our lives, which was bought
and paid for through your atoning death. We rejoice in the fact that you, our

WFW - PSALM 78

Psalm 78:21-31 (The Message)


21-31 When God heard that, he was furious—
his anger flared against Jacob,
he lost his temper with Israel.
It was clear they didn't believe God,
had no intention of trusting in his help.
But God helped them anyway, commanded the clouds
and gave orders that opened the gates of heaven.
He rained down showers of manna to eat,
he gave them the Bread of Heaven.
They ate the bread of the mighty angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
He let East Wind break loose from the skies,
gave a strong push to South Wind.
This time it was birds that rained down—
succulent birds, an abundance of birds.
He aimed them right for the center of their camp;
all round their tents there were birds.
They ate and had their fill;
he handed them everything they craved on a platter.
But their greed knew no bounds;
they stuffed their mouths with more and more.
Finally, God was fed up, his anger erupted—
he cut down their brightest and best,
he laid low Israel's finest young men.

Moravian Daily Texts ~June 2 in THE MESSAGE ~

Tuesday, June 2


Psalm 71:19-24
Proverbs 25; 2 Corinthians 7:1-13a

Life on this earth doesn't add up to much, but God's heavenly army keeps everything going.No one can interrupt his work, no one can call his rule into question. (MSG)
He does what he wills with the host of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth.
There is no one who can stay his hand or say to him, 'What are you doing?'
Daniel 4:35

God brought you alive—right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ's cross. He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets. (MSG)
God disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them,
triumphing over them in Christ. Colossians 2:15

Heavenly Father, we sometimes fail to realize that it is your will and not our
own that will be done on earth. Forgive us when we lose sight of what you are
doing in our lives. May our thoughts, actions, and words reflect your mercy and
forgiveness. Amen.

Psalm 71:9-18
Proverbs 24; 2 Corinthians 6:3-18

As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I
look after my sheep. Ezekiel 34:12

Jesus said, "I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance."
Luke 5:32

Gracious Comforter, we often find ourselves separated from the flock, scattered
amidst life's trials and tribulations. We know you are always with us, keeping
watch over us. Help us, O Lord, to hear you calling us back into your fold.
Amen.

Moravian Daily Texts ~ PENTECOST ~

Day of Pentecost

Watchword for the Week
O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all. Psalm 104:24

More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters, more majestic than the waves
of the sea, majestic on high is the Lord! Psalm 93:4

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And
suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind. All of
them were filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:1-2,4

Holy Spirit, move in us like a mighty wind, filling us with your energy. Teach
us new ways to move within our world in order to display your majesty and bring
others to believe in you. Amen.

Shall we read today together....so God's powerfull Word can be a balm for our soul and make us stand firm!

May 31 readings
Acts 2:1-21; Psalm 104:24-34,35b
Romans 8:22-27; John 15:26-27,16:4b-15

What draw my attention!!

In Acts
"In the Last Days," God says,
"I will pour out my Spirit
on every kind of people:
Your sons will prophesy,
also your daughters;
Your young men will see visions,
your old men dream dreams.
When the time comes,
I'll pour out my Spirit
On those who serve me, men and women both,
and they'll prophesy.
I'll set wonders in the sky above
and signs on the earth below,
Blood and fire and billowing smoke,
the sun turning black and the moon blood-red,
Before the Day of the Lord arrives,
the Day tremendous and marvelous;
And whoever calls out for help
to me, God, will be saved."

In the Psalm
33-35 Oh, let me sing to God all my life long,
sing hymns to my God as long as I live!
Oh, let my song please him;
I'm so pleased to be singing to God.

The whole of the reading part in ROMANS spoke volumes to me....

22-25All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it's not only around us; it's within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We're also feeling the birth pangs. These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance. That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don't see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy.

26-28Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

WEEKLY MEMORY VERSE ~ John 13: 35~

John 13:35 (New Living Translation)
35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

It made me remember how this LOVE must look like !

1 Corinthians 13:4-9 (New International Version)

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

This song and video i also came accross wich is talking about this LOVE in practice

Than Sings My Soul Saturday!~.....The voice of the Savior........~

Voice Of a Savior

Written by Sam Mizell and Matthew West

Some people try to listen to the bottom of a bottle
Some people try to listen to a needle in their arm
Some people try to listen to the money in their pocket
Some people try to listen to another's arms

You and I are not that different
We got a void and we're just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior

Some people try to find it with blind ambition
Some people try to find it where no one else has gone
Some people try to find it in the crowns of victory
Some people get defeated lose the strength to carry on

Some people try to find it in the shadow of a steeple
Some people try to find it in the back row pew
Some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus
That's where I found it, how about you?

The artist who sings this song is Mandisa.

A- B -C of THE WORD......P.........and "Dutch treats give away"

P

"Isn't it obvious that your God is present with you; that he has given you peaceful relations with everyone around? My part in this was to put down the enemies, subdue the land to God and his people; your part is to give yourselves, heart and soul, to praying to your God. So get moving—build the sacred house of worship to God! Then bring the Chest of the Covenant of God and all the holy furnishings for the worship of God into the sanctuary built in honor of God."

PRESENT- PEACEFUL -PUT -PRAYING

This time i did not look for the letter in the verses i shared on my blog last week.
I felt to search for a verse at biblegateway.com for the words peaceful and praying!

I found this verse and strangely it felt it was spoken straightly to me.......especially the brown part." Give youreselfe heart and soul to praying!"

I remembered i said in my "Memory verse post this week" that i had to do an heart ad soul job!! And i remember praying faitfully and with passion that time was a struggle. It was like i was in a "rud" felt like my communication with God was kind of "empty".

So this verse is a beautiful heartfelt one....
I want to play a game with you also ...to see if you can answer these questions.......
1 Who said it...?
2 To whome it was directed to....?
3 Where can you find it ?
( No cheating with looking -up on the internet or concordance....)

The 1st commenter with the 3 good answers wins a "Dutch treats" gift! Comments untill Sunday at midnight ( Dutch time you can read it on my blog)
Have fun blessings for the weekend and don't forget to head over to "Greylike snuffie " for more readings on this Letter!

This afternoon in a "short break" i had ; between rushing at noon from work to see a" a play" at school from my son,coming "upstairs" ( i life above the school) and " the play" from my daughter.....My head body and mind was seeking for a moment of REST......Especially it was also our courtcase day..... and the hour and moment the case was going on........My hubby went to it in person with our lawyer...In prayer we need to back-up our hubby's anytime any moment as possible so....

What is best to do. Especially when your mind is racing...* smile*; is to take" The Psalms" and pray it over ourselfse......frequently they go over in my own prayer because your spirit is settled and is free again to pray....

These are the ones i prayed this afternoon As you feel to put your name also in them....

Psalm 3 (The Message)

1-2 God! Look! Enemies past counting! Enemies sprouting like mushrooms,
Mobs of them all around me Bernice, roaring their mockery:
"Hah! No help for her from God!"

3-4 But you, God, shield me on all sides;
You ground my feet, you lift my head high;
With all my might I shout up to God,
His answers thunder from the holy mountain.

5-6 I stretch myself out. I sleep.
Then I'm up again—rested, tall and steady,
Fearless before the enemy mobs
Coming at me from all sides.

7 Up, God! My God, help me!
Slap their faces,
First this cheek, then the other,
Your fist hard in their teeth! ( My spirit eye saw this figh!! God kicking them wow it made me smile..)

8 Real help comes from God.
Your blessing clothes your people!

Psalm 21 (The Message)

A David Psalm

1-7Your strength, God, is the king's Mine ( Queens ; are we not?!!)strength. Helped, me hollering Hosannas.
You gave me exactly what i wanted;
you didn't hold back.
You filled ( are filling) my arms with gifts;
you gave me a right royal welcome.
I wanted a good life; you gave it to me,
and then (will) made (make) it a long life as a bonus.
You lifted me high and bright as a cumulus cloud,
then dressed me in rainbow colors.
You pile blessings on me;
you make me glad when you smile.
Is it any wonder the QUEEN( I) loves God?
that she's sticking with the Best?

8-12 With a fistful of enemies in one hand
and a fistful of haters in the other,
he radiate with such brilliance
that they cringe as before a furnace.
Now the furnace swallows them whole,
the fire eats them alive!
You purge the earth of their progeny,
you wipe the slate clean.
All their evil schemes, the plots they cook up,
have fizzled—every one.
You sent them packing;
they couldn't face me.

13 Show your strength, God, so no one can miss it.
We are out singing the good news!
