Dear Anu,
I was thinking about your this week's blog and what came to my mind was, in life's journey the many things we do intentionally or without thinking does have an effect on those around us, be it family or friends. We may never know. As a Christian writer, your intention is to touch people's heart with hope and encouragement, because you know your God to be Faithful Fortress & Rock.
So keep writing, it does matter. You have certainly touched me with your blog.
Love, Chits. xx

Dear Chits,
Thanks once again for taking the time to not just to read my blog but also to respond. I was happy to hear your thoughts on it. I do agree with you 100%. So much of what we do matters - especially what we do for God and for others. Sometimes they may be very small - but have eternal consequences don't they?

Thanks so much for the mandate to keep writing. I certainly will. God bless you Chits.
Love and prayers,

Hello Sweet Anusha,
I would never think about writing on a blue jacket, yet I found myself inside your story. I could see you and imagine how you walked around and pondered on if you should purchase it or not. I have a black velvet jacket that I love. I purchased it in the U.S. and clothes are cheaper there, but I also got it on sale.
Your family photos are so special. You all have a contented happiness that radiates out.
God Bless you all.
With love Crystal Mary

Hello beautiful Crystal Mary,
Thanks so much for stopping by at my website. Lovely to have you visit! :) Thank you for your encouraging words. I do hope I get to see you wearing that beautiful black velvet jacket. I have no doubt you must look very striking in it. Yes, clothes in the US are cheaper, aren't they?

I was very encouraged by your loving words my friend. My family will be pleased to hear what you said about us.
So thank you and God bless you too.
Love and prayers,

Dear Sal, Anu,
what a co-incidence or God ordained time, I knew my Saviour from a very young age, but never heard of being Born Again. When I became aware of it through Bible studies, personal & at YFC, I decided to publicly anounce it at the Praise & Worship conducted by the ship (LOGOS) members, at the Ramakrishna Hall. That was 16th February, 1974 !!! It is 39 years indeed!!!!
Chits.

Hi Chits,
Great to hear that you too became a Christian in the true sense of the word in 1974. And yes, it's our 40th year of knowing Him and enjoying the faithfulness of a loving God.

So you publicly announced it at the Praise and Worship conducted by the ship Logos? 16th February 1974? Lovely. My date was 12th May and Sal's was in April at the camp we both attended. Aren't we blessed?
Thanks for sharing Chits,
Love,

Dear Anu,
Its a long time since I read your blog. I am so glad your feet have healed and you are up and about. Sorry if time has elapsed since your healing and I am mentioning only now. The past few weeks I have been looking at my mail, but didn't sit down to think about it. Today, the first day of a new month, I seem to have a bit of time to write back. Most part of my time has been revolving around my children & grand children. I must admit I can easily get lost in it!!

Reading about your Blue Jacket, I realised how often God makes us laugh! The other day I was reading about Sarah's laugh when she was told she would bear a child in her old age. The laugh only reminds us, our God is a prayer answering God, He is never late, He is always on time! I have so many stories of God's Favour and Goodness. So many times He has surprised me in reducing prices!! Praise God, you not only got your Jacket, but a beautiful blouse too. What a laugh!! May He continue to surprise you and bless you everyday with His bounty. I wish you had put a picture of you wearing the Jacket!
Heaps of love,
Chits.

Dear Chits,
How lovely to hear from you. Thanks so much for reading my blog and for sharing afterwards too. I love getting feedback so that was lovely. I also loved hearing about the way God makes us laugh and that you have many stories of His favour and blessing.

Yes, He has been blessing me bountifully this season - and not only did He give me that jacket - He also blessed me with a pretty blouse. :) That's our God for you, isn't it? The thing is that if I hadn't bought the blouse - I'd have missed the jacket too - because it was hidden from view till I walked up to the paying counter. So it was a double blessing. So glad to hear you have had many occasions like that too Chits. Our God is an amazing God isn't He?

As for the picture of me in my jacket - I did ask Asela to take one. Unfortunately it was in the sunlight so the picture wasn't too good. And I didn't want to bother him again! :)

Thanks also for your loving words about my healing and being up and about. Never too late! :)

Thanks for those warm and lovely wishes. Wishing you the same - may He bless you and surprise you with His bounty, favour and love, Chits,
Much love,
Anu xo

Dear Anusha,

I saw it then (when we met in Brisbane at the Word Writers Conference) and I see it reflected in your writing: such a passion for Jesus and a heart to look on the bright side. Not always an easy thing to do and a great inspiration for many I am sure. Keep blogging :-)

Blessings,
Kayleen
