I couldn’t resist taking a pic of this cute little dog who was standing perfectly still and waiting for it’s master. It struck me as unusual as no one seemed to be around. It reminded me that ….. even when our Master doesn’t seem to be near ….. we need to be still and wait for Him. Our natural tendency is to run around in circles and try to do things ourselves. We then get distracted by other ‘dogs’ ….. and end up in trouble! We may not be able to see God ….. but He sees us and knows exactly where we are. Thanks for the lesson, little pooch!

It’s the second week of the school holidays ….. and I just want to give a shout out to all the mums and dads who are trying to find ways to entertain their children. It has been a tough year ….. especially for those parents who have had to juggle work plus childcare. But please don’t worry about your children’s future. It is already planned! The Potter knows his clay ….. and sees what it can become. Children are resilient and imaginative. Not all of life’s lessons are learned in the classroom!

This little guy is checking out his surroundings before venturing out. His large ears help him detect any predators. When Jesus was teaching his disciples ….. several times He said ‘ He who has ears, let him hear’. There’s a difference between hearing and listening. We hear a multitude of voices and sounds everyday ….. but we only listen to the ones we tune into. We joke about people who have ‘selective hearing’ ….. but really we all need to choose who and what we listen to.

Well October is here ….. and the signs of spring are everywhere. The wisteria is one of my favourite flowers. Not only are they beautiful to look at ….. but they are also resilient. It seems that they get tested by the September gales every year ….. but hold their own. Spring can be a testing time in many ways. Unseasonal snow falls and frosts are a challenge to farmers ….. and fruit growers. The baby lambs and produce still come despite the weather. We too must be resilient and ready in season and out of season. We are guaranteed trials and hardship ….. but we are overcomers through Christ!
