A Heart of Compassion

28/09/2013 13:56

A few weeks ago, while transferring prayer requests from my current prayer diary into a new one, I came across several interesting diary entries. One of them grabbed me. ‘Lord, please create in me a heart of compassion.’ The date was 2.9.05. That was over 8 years ago. I stopped. I read it again....

The Choice

21/09/2013 14:50

In the old days, I’d post my blog on Sunday afternoon ready for sharing with the world on Monday morning. Some weeks ago however, I discovered a more efficient way of doing it. I started posting it on Saturday instead. That left my Sunday afternoons free to write the following week’s blog. Eureka....

Aligning my Car with a Lamp Post

14/09/2013 14:49

I returned home after a great morning at church. As I approached the cul de sac at the end of our road, I put on my car’s right signal. Next I put on its left signal as I prepared to park Mitsy. I looked to my right. When Mitsy approached the lamp post on our front yard – I slowed down. Was she...

What kind of free gift is THAT?

Last Sunday, September 1st was Father’s Day in Australia. I returned home at 12.45 PM after a special time of worship with my church family. I had just a few minutes to check emails before I served our Father’s day lunch. Only one email come tumbling in into my inbox though, in solitary splendour...

The Beginning and the End

31/08/2013 12:02

Often, as I gaze around the world around me, blog ideas effortlessly pop into my little head. God graciously sends an idea (or two… or three) into my thoughts and says to me ‘There! Wouldn’t that be good to write about, Anusha?” Mostly the words flow and it’s easy to turn an idea into a...

I saw you

7 a.m. - Thursday morning. Wheeee! The Alarm shrills loudly in my ear. I sleepily turn over and press the snooze button. I turn back to the warmth of my lovely warm husband on this cold winter’s morning. I drift back happily into dreamland. 7.05 am. Wheeeeeee! There it sounds again. With a sigh, I...

The Shortest Email

18/08/2013 16:08

I do love sending and receiving emails. But those who write to me might wonder why I reply some emails speedily while others may not get a response for many moons. What makes the difference? Well, I usually respond quickly to short emails and leave the longer ones for later. It also depends on...

This one's for YOU, Julie

11/08/2013 17:21

Julie came into my life 8 months ago via a Facebook message. Julie wrote that she’d read my weekly blog and loved it. She added that she would continue to follow my blog. I was so happy to hear it. I asked if she’d like to be on my blog mailing list and she said ‘Yes’ at once. And that’s how Julie...

My Old Blue Jacket

04/08/2013 16:05

A few weeks ago I shared with you the story of my beautiful new navy blue jacket. Did you know that I possess another blue jacket? My old blue Jacket? I’d better tell you about that one too. After all, it’s been around much longer than my new one. While my new blue jacket is only a few weeks old,...

His Smile

28/07/2013 16:14

I saw it as I stepped outdoors that cold wintry evening, as the sun’s rays slanted low across the western sky; as the winter chill increased and dusk descended. I saw it again when I began my walk around the Oval. It was bright but not too bright. A smile. A beautiful curved bright glowing happy...
