Easter prayer

Thank You, Lord,

for rising from the tomb

to live in our hearts.

May the innocence of each child remind us of the joy of sharing

Your love.

May the caroling of each bird remind us to sing

Your praises.

May the majesty of each sunrise remind us to shine in

Your light.

May the beauty of each flower remind us Jesus lives

and is Lord of Life.

And it’s good.

Thank you, Holy Father, for Easter,

for Jesus,

and for all

Your goodness.

Stay with us this happy day

and always.

In Jesus name, we thank You!

Amen.

Happy easter

Love

Muriel

Christmas gift

Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus, the Christ, a baby boy born to a teenage girl who was still a virgin. Jesus was born in a stable, among the animals, yet angels proclaimed his birth. To shepherds.

Wise men followed a star that marked the birth and presented Jesus with precious gifts, to honor him.

A baby born to die.

At age 33, only days after some welcomed Jesus to Jerusalem, others wanted him dead, though he was innocent of any crime.

He was nailed to a cross. When he died at mid-afternoon, the skies turned dark. There was an earthquake. In the temple at Jerusalem, the curtain covering the Holy of Holies, the Presence of God, tore itself in half.

Three days later, Jesus' tomb was empty. His disciples and others saw him. He spent time with them, ate with them, showing he was alive. While talking to a lage crowd of people, he rose up in the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

All for a reason.

The first man and woman, Adam and Eve, disobeyed God. That was the first sin. Ever since then, everyone sins. We do what we know is wrong, and don't do what we know is right.

The penalty for sin is death. The only sinless person who ever lived is Jesus.

Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus had to die on the cross to win forgiveness for everyone who chooses to accept his gift. Forgiveness of sin means eternal life with God.

The real Christmas gift.

A toast to the new year!!!

Here’s to the outgoing year, 2008:
May the good times live on in our memories,
and may we learn lessons from the troubling times
that will make us stronger and better than ever. Here’s to 2009:
For each and every one of you,
may it be filled with significant steps
toward the fulfillment of your fondest wishes.
To our dreams...
May we never stop believing in them...

In this coming new year,
let us focus on our goals and work toward our dreams,
and yet (grin, smile and wink)
let’s all try to go with the flow a little more
and stress a little less. And most important,



here’s to all of you.
Appreciate yourselves and each other in the new year
as I appreciate all of you now.
Let’s focus on each other’s good points
and choose to overlook minor annoyances
to create mutual happiness and contentment in 2009. Here’s to 2009 !!!!






Enjoy the journey!!!!

Christmas decorations

Christ is Born

Angels clap hands; let men borbear to mourn;
Their saving health is come; for Christ is born.
Hark, what a heavenly choir of angels sing
Sweet carols at the birth of this new king.

Daar is altyd plek vir ‘n feëtjie in my huis, veral oor kerstyd!!!

The Twenty-fourth of December

The clock ticks slowly, slowly in the hall,
And slower and more slow the long hours crawl;
It seems as though today
Would never pass away;
The clock ticks slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y in the hall.
