Are you cranky sometimes, most times, all the time? Ask yourself; “Why am I cranky?” “Do I like to be cranky?” “Is my crankiness achieving anything worthwhile for me and others?” If there are no justifiable reasons for your crankiness, then you need to STOP!
Cranky people are not good fun to be around. They are called ‘wet blankets’ and spoil the fun for everyone. No wonder they don’t go at the top of the party invitation list. But, no…..
They say, “The darkest hour precedes the dawn.” The night brings its terror. Things in the dark are sinister-looking. The unknown is a malady of its own. Even a lion swallows its roar in the face of fear.
So much is happening all around us, we can barely keep up. Is the media taking centre stage in…..
So, you turned Eighty today – that’s eight decades of living! That’s 960 months, 29,219 days – wow! No doubt, the celebration of life lived so long is something to be savoured. It is a time for reflection and thanksgiving.
When we look back at our lives, it often resembles a roller coaster. There are ups and downs, high and lows, thrills and spills and everything in between. People, places, things and memories all the way.
Very often, the word…..
“I lost my spouse through Covid 19. How can I go on living?” That was the lament of someone so close to my heart. How do you comfort them? What do you say? You numbly go through the rituals of burying the dead and family and friends are there to share your grief. But as days go…..
When life seems chaotic, when things don’t seem to make sense, what do you do?

Everyone has to go through birth, ageing, sickness and death. There are no exceptions. This is the destiny of our life!

Change!!! Some dread it! Some love it! Either way, change happens. We embrace change or we shy away from it. The clock keeps ticking and nobody can stop those invisible hands from moving.

Your Destiny
There is an appointed time and place for everyone.
Each person has a calling,
Each person has a duty.
The secret is being in the will of God.
There is no utopia on this earth.
Even though you see some people living in a land of milk and honey,
that is their milk and honey;
it could very well be your vinegar and…..
There are times when you are tossed to and fro on life’s stormy seas. You use all your strength and all your wits to try to get out of the difficult situation you find yourself in. But the harder you try, the more you see yourself sinking. You scramble in desperation and the weight of the load is just back breaking. In frustration you start to grumble. Your body aches, your heart is bleeding within and your mind cannot…..
Give … because we have been given the greatest gift of all.
