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.
-Paulina M. Prieto

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.

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever.

I am writing to you today to ask you to join me in our family tradition of remembering the lost and hurting. Each year, we take the amount we spend on our Thanksgiving dinner and give an equal amount to help those in need. This is an offering that pleases God and demonstrates our thankfulness to Him.https://christsmandate.blogspot.com/2021/11/an-offering-that-pleases-god.html

Happy Thanksgiving Friends!

@Berrybunchfamily @KarlGessler @MaryMamuzich @Cherishingsparrows2020 @Olamide Now I pray for God's intervention. Don't be afraid, God is with you and will help you. God bless you.

Jo's taking me back to A&E (ER). My heart or chest seems to be doing funny things again.

Last time I went, for these same symptoms, they told me heart was absolutely fine and they found a mild infection in my lungs which they blamed for my symptoms

It feels more like the muscles in my chest are simply agitated, rather than my heart. I've checked my pulse a few times, and that has seemed ok.

Either way, they told me to come back to hospital if it happened again. it has, so we're going back very shortly.

Please pray for wisdom all round, and a speedy resolution.

I feel, otherwise, the best I've felt for weeks. Even the cough seems to have finally disappeared today.
