We don't have an excuse

Christ died for us, we have no excuse  live your life for Him.

Take up your cross daily and serve Him with all that is within you.

The salad

Lettuce leaves 

In bite size pieces 

Carrot grated
With brisk stocks
Tomatoes sliced
With a steady hand
A work of love
A deed of service
The act of sharing
Callused hands
Doing work
For those she loves
She knows that food
Is a way of loving
Those in her care
It's like a daily gift
To those around her
It's a work of art
One she shares with all
When about a table they meet

Two sets of hands
One meal
Two hearts that show there love
Though the act of serving
Three sets of hands
Laughter grows
Four and five
No matter how many
Hands do the work
The love is still there
An artist
Or many artists
It doesn't mater
But this i do know
That the love of sharing
Giving and serving others
Sits on the top of there heart

So next time you sit at a meal
Look at the food
Not just as food
For it is an art filled with a love
Love from the cook

Lazy me

I have been terribly lazy at posting lately. My life has just run away and I have acquired a few unwanted bugs that have kept me at home and in bed. Sinus infections are not nice. So now I have a list of things I need to catch up on and a blog post was not on the top.

My life is pretty exciting!

Tomorrow I am sitting my full license test. 

Scarry, well kind of, but mostly I can't wait.

 As I am going to pass it(always thinking positively). I am trying to decide whether I'm going to go crazy and celebrate it with a bunch of friends.

On Friday we are supposed to go away as a family to visit my cousin in Hastings for like the first time in forever!

I just got told I need to update my Me page. Now do I write a whole new one, tweak it or just add an update on it? I don't know.

O and do you know how fun it is to bug people! 

We had a movie with this song on it way back in the days and it's really catchy and drives everyone mad!

So long from lazy me!

Light to the world

Darkness 

The world is darkness 

Cold wet and miserable 

Inside am warm

Warm and full of light

My Saviour Jesus Christ 

Is living in my heart

I am warm

Too many are cold

I want to shine my light

In this cold and wet world

This little light of mine

Jesus let me shine

May your light in me

Cast a ring of light within

A dark and lost world

Hide it under a bushel, no

Lord let it shine forever Lord

Never let it hide

Lord I love to be your light

Shining in the dark

I love to show your love

In this dark and cold world

May all your children 

Shine brighter each new day 

Let your light prevail 

Over darkness every day

Lord we all look forward 

To the coming day

When darkness is no more

And lightness never fades

 We live in a dark world, but let us never forget that to our God....

even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. 

Psalm 139:12

... there will always be light!

Queens birthday camp

You are not alone !

What a truly blessed topic to dig into on a weekend with youth of the same mind. Brothers and sisters in Christ . Our God has blessed us with the need to not be alone. With God we are never alone for we have His Spirit living within us. Remember even in the days when you feel along, you need only to pray for the Lord to remind you that you are never alone.

Draw near my child

You are not alone

Let me take your burden 

Cast your cares on me

I am your Father

Your Lord and your King

I only are your help

You are never along

When you are with me

I will never forsake 

Never no never

For you are my child

I long to talk to you

My grace is sufficient 

I am the only strength you need

Come and open your heart

Let the pain inside flow out

Confess your sin

I will forgive you

I am the king of forgiveness 

Remember my child 

You are always mine

Never along you are

You are safe in my arms

Rest like a babe

Because with me 

You are never alone

You guys are a blessing to me.

May the Lord bless you far beyond what you imagine.

The love of giving

These just days when you feel like giving and today was one of them.

To bless an other person is an act of love.

So today I rolled up my sleeves and did some baking for my Oma and Opa. 

Cookies!!!

I have to admit cookie dough is like so much fun to just knead.

Half way through and I'm rolling out and cutting.

Yeah I know plan old circles.....

...not for long!

I got this cute cookie stamp the other day. 

They say "made with love", "home made" and "eat me"

They looked sooooooo goooood!

Not to mention cute.

It as nice to see the look on One's face when I gave them to her.

You made these? I'm going to eat one right now. I love home baking.

It was so sweet a moment and touched my heart.
