People will fail us but not God!

🥀🍃When people have no use of you, they will slowly sideline you, ignore you & will forget the help & good you were to them and move on!
🌴This is a fact! But harbour no hurt or bitterness, pray & move on.
🌷God says in Hebrews 13:5: "I will never leave you nor forsake you"
🌷 Matthew 28:20: "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age"
🌹🍃 So, thank God & rejoice, Jesus will never ever leave or forsake you. He has is eyes on you.
Continue to love, serve, pray & do your best for people & be God's light & salt!
🌹 He will reward you for your good deeds!

Life Partner

Waiting for a life partner?

🌿🌼It's impossible to find some one perfect but sure can find one who trusts God in midst of his/her imperfections. 

🌿🌼Pray for a person who is after God's own heart, who will change your life for the better and not just your relationship status.

🌿🌼A person who cares, is concerned, loving, kind. 

🌿🌼 Above a take time to pray with and for you, reads the Word of God with you.

God being the centre of a relationships makes all the difference!

Blessed day,

Home!
This was our parental home🏡 that dad built for us in 1970. It was ours till October 2021!
The memories made in here are countless!
We still miss this home!
Our home exchanged hands, dad left for his Heavenly Abode & we are thankful for memories made & for mom who is still here and for relationships we still have!
With a greatful heart!

MOM AND DAD’S HOUSE
︵‿︵‿୨🕯୧‿︵‿︵
‿☆ 💗 You don’t need an invitation.
You don’t have to call ahead.
It doesn’t matter how you’re dressed or what mood you’re in.
‿☆ 💗 That house is always there.
With a door ready to open,
with that scent that takes you right back to childhood,
and with two sets of eyes searching for you the moment they hear the key turn.
‿☆ 💗 It’s the only place you walk into as if you never left.
Where a plate is already waiting for you, even if you didn’t ask, and if you don’t eat, you get lovingly scolded.
Where your silence matters and your words are a gift.
‿☆ 💗 It’s the place where time seems to stand still,
where Mom still looks at you with eyes full of tenderness,
and Dad pretends to be indifferent, but you can see the sparkle in his eyes.
‿☆ 💗 And one day, without warning, that house won’t be there anymore.
😭(Nor will they)
😢 Not because it was sold, but because the people who made it home won’t be there to open the door anymore.
‿☆ 💗 So if you still can…
go. Hug. Listen. Eat dinner. Laugh.
‿☆ 💗 Because Mom and Dad’s house isn’t forever.
‿☆ 💗 I don’t have it anymore…
and there are days I’d give anything just to open that door again
and find them there, waiting for me…
as if time had never passed.
‿☆ 💗 If you’re still lucky enough to have it,
don’t take it for granted.
Go home. Today.

Sow God's Words in the hearts of children!

Children are quick to learn. The things they hear being taught as a child remain in their heart.
Sowing seeds from the Word of God when young will yield good fruits!
Even if they go astray the Holy Spirit brings it to their remembrance and prodigals will return!

★Proverbs 1: 8 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction
and do not forsake your mother's teaching. 9 They will be a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.
★ Deuteronomy 4:9
Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
★ Deuteronomy 11:19
Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up —
Children are precious, need to handle them with care!

Jasmine

☘️Jasmine Flowers!☘️
Another beautiful handiwork of God! We will never miss the fragrance of these flowers when we pass by the Jasmine plant!
Jasmines are widely cultivated for the characteristic fragrance of their flowers.
The village of Shubra Beloula in Egypt grows most of the jasmine used by the global perfume industry!
Carry God's fragrance as you walk through this day!

Encourage one another!

Words of appreciation, love, compliments, encouragement cost us nothing to give but sure is priceless to receive.

Let's reach out to the lost and help the hurting, with the gifts God has given us...

life is short.

PRAY AT ALL TIMES FOR ALL THINGS!

Let's sow, bless, encourage and move on, our reward is in Abba Fathers hands!

MAY WE LIVE AND SERVE FOR THE MOMENT WHEN HE SAYS, "Well done my good and faithful servant".

★Romans 12:8 If it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

★1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

Have a blessed day

Let go of Offense

🌷 In life will come across people who will offend us knowingly or unknowingly.
🌷 We too end up offending others.
And there are people who will react negatively to the offense caused.
But is it right to hold onto offense?
Best is forgive, forget, let go of all negative feelings and move on.
Apostle Paul writes in
❣️ Acts 24:16 "This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men." ❣️
Life is short and eternity isn't!
As Paul writes let us strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.
🌷People who truly care will stand by us through thick and thin, will cry with us in times of pain and rejoice with us in times of joy!
🌷 Let us let go of all offense and move on in life.
There is so much in life to do let not offense hold us back or slow us down.

Take care of yourself

(¯'🧡'¯)🍂🐿🍁

¸¸'•. ¸.•' ⁀⋱‿•.♡.•⁀🍂🧡🍂.

☕ We sure can't pour from an empty cup! And what is in our cup matters too! ☕

🦋 Same way we can pour into people's lives only what our heart and mind is filled with. 

🦋 What we read, listen, watch and absorb through the day matters! 

🦋 No wonder God's Word advices us to meditate on these things below. 

🍁Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.🍁

🦋 We sure know we will reap only what we sow, we can give only what we have, we will only speak from the abundance of our heart! 

🦋 Let us ponder on what is true, good, noble, just, pure, lovely, good report, that which is praise worthy! 

Fabulous Day!

Memories

After we leave this earth our bed may be empty 😢😭 & some memories may remain, their inheritance will be there 🥹, our belongings will be given to others who need & some things thrown away (this is the fact).

But....

🩷 what we sow in lives will take root &  bear fruits in generations to come! 

Let us sow love ( without expecting any back) prayers at all times for all, goodness, God's Word, His Love &  His ways...💕 

Let us give, bless

We bring nothing into this world & take NOTHING!! 

Period!

Let us hold things of this world, our processions, profession and all the "THINGS", "TREASURES", God  blesses us with on earth lightly...

BUT TREASURE PEOPLE & PRAY FOR THEM as it's them we have HOPE TO SEE ON THE OTHER SIDE....

LET US... pile up treasures IN HEAVEN THROUGH ALL WE DO IN SERVING GOD & PEOPLE!!

People & relationships Matter more than all the things we have.

💯💪❤️💕🤗💗🌷

Rest & Be Refreshed ☘️

🌱It is good to rest a while in between our busy life and be refreshed.

Jesus said to His disciples in

🌸Mark 6:31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."

We need to take time to rest, take a break to pause and look at  things God has blessed us with.

🌱 Sometimes we are so busy with our jobs, pleasing others that we just forget about ourselves, our health, our needs, our family.

🌱 It is OK to say no to jobs people force on us, cancel something important to say yes to a vital.

God wants us to enjoy the fruit of our labour, to spend time with people who matter or just doing something we like, go on a vacation etc 

🌱Let us not push ourselves so much that we end up falling sick or feel stressed out and tired all the time!

🌱God wants us to take rest, sleep well and on time, eat healthy, stay fit and enjoy this life! He wants us to work from a place of rest.

We have one life and let us make this life count by giving to God, people around and ourselves the best!

The best comes with rest! 

Have a blessed day!

Moms, Dads & children are special everyday!

🌺🌿 So nice to see all the love, attention, appreciation moms get around this time of the year...

🌺🌿 It's lovely to see them being pampered with cards, the flowers, special lunch/dinner with their son/daughter.

How blessed we are!

🙁 🍃Thinking of the many moms and dads who have gone to the grave broken hearted, because of disrespect and lack of honour shown to them and without once having heard their child say a "I love you", "I thank you" or share a meal with them or see them do even small acts of kindness, to make them feel loved, appreciated, honoured.

🙁🍃 How many times our mom's tears, sighs, pain goes unnoticed by us. Sometimes their tender love, care and concern for us has been returned by a cold indifference.

🌺🌿 Godly parents are concerned about the souls of their children but there are children who ignore their counsel and stubbornly follow their rebellious path and still parents don't stop praying.

🌺🌿 May we those who still have our mom/dads/ or both parents around, always love and honor them.

🌺🌿May God turn the heart of children to parents and parents to their children!

May God change hearts, bind, heal & restore this beautiful relationship...!

Be Blessed,

Julia ©🌸🍃

Family!

🌾🌸Such family portraits where family sits together to share at least a meal daily, are rare to see, because of work schedules and busy lifestyle!

Such pictures are just on special occasions.

🌾🌸If today we can't see eye to eye with those close to us, talk to them, laugh and cry with them, how can we dream of spending an eternity with them?

🌾🌸God wants to see His kingdom come on earth today, as it is in Heaven!

🌾🌸May God take us back to the ancient paths and help us understand and value every vital relationship.

Relationships Matter to God!

Be like little Children

(¯"💙''¯).❅*.🍃.🐦.🍃.*❅.

¸¸'•. ¸.•' ⁀⋱‿•.♡.•.💙.⁀⋱🍃🐦🍃.•*˚✻💙˚ Jesus Christ our Lord said,

🌿🐦 “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3

✻💙 † Little children are innocent, their love is pure and not corrupted by this world! They are not selfish, do not hold grudge and smile easily and trust totally! And our Lord wants us to become like little kids!

✻💙 † Children are a gift from God. He entrusted them to us. There are angels assigned to watch over little children. 

🌿🐦  Matthew 18: 10 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." 

✻💙 And these angels always watch the Father's face. So we need to value our kids, each of them are special in God's eyes. 

✻💙 † Let kids not be aborted or ignored. God cares for a child, right from when it's formed in it's mothers womb. 

They are precious!

🌿🐦 Hebrews 11:23 says,"By Faith Moses' parents hid him for 3 months after he was born because they say he was no ordinary child and they were not afraid of the king's edict."

✻💙† Every child on earth is special because God has great plans for each of them.

EGO kills LOVE

🌹🥀༺❀༻🥀🌹

🥀"EGO" sure is a big spoil sport in ruining relationships.

LOVE sure does because of EGO!

As humans its sometimes difficult to love someone who is rude to us, forgive someone who hurts us and say sorry when we hurt someone, our ego and pride stands in our way!

🥀Some will offend and close all communication channels.

May God help us swallow our EGO and PRIDE and love like He did, ask forgiveness when we offend someone.

🌹This sure will be easy when the love of Christ rules in our hearts.

May our hearts overflow with His love!

Love Dies because of Ego

༺❀༻༺❀༻༺❀༻

(Author Unknown)

Once upon a time there was an island , where all the feelings lived together .

One day there was a storm in the sea and the island was about to get drowned.

Every feeling was scared but LOVE made a boat to escape.

Every feeling boarded the boat.

Only 1 feeling was left. 

LOVE  got down to  see who it was...

It was EGO.

LOVE tried and tried but ego wasn't moving also the water was rising.

Every one asked love to leave him and come in the boat, but love was made to love.

At last all the feelings escape and LOVE dies with EGO on the island.

LOVE Dies because of EGO 

So, Kill EGO and Save LOVE!!

Home

🏡 It's not about how big our house is, but how big our heart is!

🏡 It's not about how well our home is furnished, but about love of God that radiates from within!

🏡 It is not about our wealth or but about our hospitality!

🏡 With a Loving God and loving hearts, the home becomes a place people love to stop by!

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING Author: Mary Rita Schilke Korazan

"When you thought I wasn't looking"

____________________________

 Author: Mary Rita Schilke Korazan

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,

and I wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking, 

I saw you feed a stray cat,

and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you make my favorite cake for me,

and I knew that little things are special thing

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I heard you say a prayer,

and I believed that there was a God to talk to.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I felt you kiss me goodnight,

and I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn't looking, 

I saw tears come from your eyes,

and I learned that sometimes things hurt,

but it's alright to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw that you cared,

and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I

learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing, and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you

handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up!

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I looked....

and I wanted to say,  "Thanks for all the things 

I saw when you thought I wasn't looking."

Family gatherings in the past and present!

Family gatherings in the past and present!

In the past young, the elderly and every family member in our lives were held in high esteem. Though there were no modern gadgets, they had lots of family times together. There was more face to face interactions. 

But the present has more nuclear families, modern gadgets and they are so busy that many families have no time to spend together in fellowship, prayer etc.

Adam and Eve lived in a home called the 'Garden of Eden'. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it" (Genesis 1:28). Abba Father enjoyed a daily fellowship with Adam and Eve; He loved to walk and talk with them. God is the beginner of marriage, children, family and home and He is the Restorer of all things!

Read this poem years back.  Schneemilch-Cunha gives people their flowers while they live — literally. Affectionately known ‘The Rose Lady,’ Schneemilch-Cunha has been crocheting roses for 72 years, and she is not tired yet.
The following poem entitled, ‘One Little Rose’ was written by Schneemilch-Cunha in 1953.

🌹ONE LITTLE ROSE🌹
-Effie Schneemilch-Cunha-
🌹༺❀༻🥀🌹༺❀༻🥀
🌹I would rather have one little rose from you today,
Than have truck loads of the choicest flowers,
When my stay on earth must end.
🌹I'd rather have one pleasant word in kindness said,
Than flattery when my heart is still,
And life has ceased to be.
🌹I'd rather have a loving smile,
From loved ones I know are true,
than tears shed around my casket,
When to this world I bid adieu.
🌹Bring me the flowers today,
give me a smile and a hug now,
Tell me you love and care for me.
Than do all this after I'm dead & gone.
