Looking back and laughing

Do you ever get those days when you look back at something you did or wrote and just laugh? Well this is one of them.

So I came across this little letter I had to write for my bookwork. It got me in stitches for a whole pile of reasons...

After I received the congratulations of the Parliament members of becoming Prime Minister of New Zealand. I had to almost gasp for breath at the thought of being the Prime Minister of such a big place, living in a fancy house with servants (One of my childhood dreams come true.), being watched on TV, being greeted by thousands of people all over New Zealand. It felt like I was dreaming, I hadn’t expected to get in, at least not as Prime Minister. After regaining my posture, I walked up to a unprepared speech. I don’t know how I got through that next hour, but I did, with help from my Savior. I know that I will manage the rest of my time of Prime Minister with God’s help and Guidance also.

Prime Minister of

New Zealand

...The Prime Minister doesn't have servants. Only a house keeper called Margaret. Neither is it a very fancy place as I found out on a visit there last year.
(It used to be the dentist before it become the Prime Ministers dwelling) Though I did love the pink scalloped like curtains. I have now been on TV and though it is fun I don't know why I would want to be on it all the time. And I would always plan a speech, just in case it did happen.

So while it was funny what I wrote and what I think now.(Mainly because I know a few more facts) The one thing that struck me was the way I referred to the help of my Savior. Its something I still do in most of my writings. To think that is one theme that has stayed in my writings all these years. It amazes me. I can only say that it is God's doing!
