~ Life's EVENTS ! ~

"I know there are many things I cannot control, no matter how hard I may try, and many of life's events break my heart. STILL I have hope, because, through it all I have You.
Thank you, Lord for hope.

In Jesus name. Amen."

* "REST-BREAK" !!

HAVE been booked into Respite at Ocean Grove before Christmas. Am quietly looking forward to attending. There will be other Women there with similar conditions as myself. It will be a "learning curve" apart from a much-needed restbreak.

Had been to "respite" in Melbourne earlier this year and would heartily suggest it as profitable for ongoing obtained benefit. There are a few places that can secure accommodation for just that cause. We all need our "breaks", regardless of the challenges we personally face before life's mural.

CONTACT whatever organisation you may be associated with and inquire regarding possible "respite" and how to astir (move out in excitement) to acquire it. We are so fortunate that we have these specific localities (*they have been attractively described as being 'scenes of events') that can give support.

May I say Bon Apetit?

* 'EVERYDAY involvements' .. !! *

"Who for the joy set before him endured the cross" (Hebrews 12:2).

"As a Christian woman I am being called to a life of continual surrender in the everyday involvements of motherhood. At times it has brought about genuine crisis in my life and required me to lay aside my will, my rights, my time and even my priorities. It is in these very challenging times, however, that God has met me through His Word, encouraging me on in the joy of surrender.

One of the most recent examples God has used to reinforce this principle of surrender has been Abraham, who, with Sarah, faced many crises. The first of these crises was the call to leave their homeland, family and friends and go to a destination God would show them. What an encouragement to see the principle of surrender result in God's approval and blessing.

Then later, in the separation from Lot, Abraham had every "right" to choose first. He chose, however, to rest in the faithfulness of God and to surrender his right.

The highest call to surrender in Abraham's experience was God's command concerning Isaac. It was almost unthinkable. This was his only son. How could he surrender him back to God through sacrifice? Yet, expectantly, he proceeded toward that critical moment of surrender. Just as he was about to plunge the knife into Isaac, God provided a substitute. Victory through surrender!
