For the sake of our health

I met so many amazing women when I was in and out of hospital, Betsy, Margaret, Rose, Janet, Isabella and Wilma to name but a few and all had their own little quirks and things about them that I loved and found inspiring and fascinating, but I realised that hospital had become a safe haven for us all.

When you have been ill and in hospital, being cared for, having people around, getting rest, the thought of going home was scary and daunting.
It may sound crazy but I felt kind of safe in hospital, no worries or responsibilities and for some - hospital was a better place to be than home.
For me it was an escape from the responsibilities of running a house, I wanted to be independent and I wanted the responsibility but it had become more of a burden than a blessing lately.
For Wilma, she had a husband at home with senile dementia and had been struggling to care for him alone.
Isabella was going back to feeling isolated in her own home and getting depressed and Janet had gone away and came back a few days later, sick, lonely and no one to talk to.

But there comes a time when we need to stop worrying and stressing over things, we need to stop burying our heads in the sand and make changes in our lives - for the sake of our health.

The things that matter.

We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us. We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes. We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a heartwarming hug, a passiona...

Gods love

He loved his disciples, he loved them as you love me. He protected them as you protect me. He guarded them as you guard me. He told them many things as you have told me many things. He gave them his word as you have given me. He loved them as you love me and I love you.

Dark days!

Sometimes we think the Lord will never bless us. We have lost hope, have given up, are stuck in a rut and can't or won't move forward and given up even trying. Some of us give up on our relationships, give up trying to make things right, give up on having a better life. We all have dark days, days when we just can't seem to get anything right, we all suffer from broken hearts, loss, go through some really difficult times in our lives but it's important to struggle on and fight, to never crumble but to be strong and remain in christ. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. We may choose not to notice that God is blessing our lives because it's easier to live like there is no hope, it's easier to put the blame onto others, blame society for our failings so that we don't have to look to ourselves to see how bad things are. We choose to deny the good things, we choose to ignore the positives, we choose to be blind to Gods...
