My Cheese broccoli soup! In my humble, shy, God given opinion, ummmm ...it's the best in the world.

Did some baking today 😊 Another first, since October.

One for a colleague of Jo's who took on a bunch of Jo's work so she could have less t so, due to me being ill

Managed to hand it to her this evening, when I dropped off Jo at work.

Baked a second one at the same time for us. Gonna ice that one shortly for the morning tea and cake moment we can now have 🙂

it's so hard for me to explain how happy this picture makes me.
THIS! THIS IS MY XMAS GIFT

On May 1, 2018, Huldah's husband, Abraham, didn't return home. The next day, his beheaded body was found. It is believed that Hindu radicals falsely told a Maoist group (Naxalites) that he was a police informant. The Maoist group, who generally oppose the government, killed him.

Pray for Huldah and her two adopted children as they continue in ministry and cope with such a great loss.

A Buddhist background believer (sister Z) is requesting for miraculous healing from her medical condition.

Today is my estranged dad's cremation service. He died the day after my first hospital visit last month - 12th November. He was 78.

So mixed emotions for me. I won't be attending because I'm still not up to a journey of that kind & as I avoid any stress I can.

He left behind his 3rd wife, 4 sons, 2 step daughters

I'm sad by the pain of a very broken, fragmented family.

He was saved.

I was even contacted by a half brother I hadn't seen for 32 years, and 2 half brothers I've not seen for 14 years

I'm sad he left a legacy, sadly, of broken people and lives. But I also know enough of the 'why' of how he lived and have no bitterness. Just sadness.

He ministered originally in Wolverhampton, setting up youth work projects. And was a passionate speaker and brilliant orator. I definitely learned those skills from him.

I said my real goodbyes 14 years ago. Today I'll say it one last time.

I was contacted by a scammer from India today that hacked into a friends email.
It took up most of my day today but it was soooo much fun.
He kept asking me to buy Amazon gift cards to send to him and I kept sending him bogus confirmation numbers.
We went back and forth. I was asking for help and instructions. He was getting so impatient and angry.
I am easily entertained.

Those are some motivating xmas lights!
Iwo Jima for the win

Imagine how massive God's mercy and forgiveness is.
Go ahead take a guess.
Then smack yourself because even what you imagine in your most grand moments is still too stinking small.

Advice for wives:
When a woman desires to change a man, she is essentially communicating an attitude of superiority towards him. “If only he was as neat/spiritual/smart/thoughtful as I am!”
Her demands, criticisms, not-so-subtle hints, comparisons, and constant nagging accomplish nothing. Instead of eliciting a change within his heart, these tactics almost always have the opposite effect.
More than anything else, a man wishes to be accepted for who he is. Instead of focusing on any faults, a woman can accept her man by always seeking to look towards his better side.
In respecting his convictions, preferences, dreams, abilities and ways of doing things, she communicates both honor and respect.
Learning how to be an excellent wife requires a tremendous amount of humility. Without this foundation, change will be difficult! A woman striving for virtue must always possess a teachable heart. Only then can she ever hope to be her husband’s crown and dearest companion.

Who gave them permission to grow up?

Thinking of Christmas and Jesus' first coming often leads my thoughts to His coming again. This song by Joshua Aaron has been a favorite for years. HE'S COMING AGAIN! 🤴

Tonight my son got home and was sharing his his feet hurt after a long day! His little daughter (only two years old) overheard him and said “ go sit down Daddy! I’m a doctor and I’ll help you”. She helped him sit down and then got her toy stethoscope and bandaids. And made Daddy all better!

Her love for medical runs in our blood. Most of us love solving medical issues for people and children that we see or deal with here in China!
I love moments like these!

Ok. This hits a little close to home.
