Love and Joy

LOVE AND JOY

Many of us believe that we are  not good enough to deserve love and joy.
How wrong can we be!. We are all creatures from God that  needs to be loved and enjoy all the good things in life.The fruit of the Spirit is Love and Joy.

Love is one of the most fulfilling of the law, the bond of perfectness. The love of a child, love of a Mother, Father. Love for each other.
"The Love of God. - God is Love".

Look in the mirror and say to yourself, I deserve love, I deserve joy, I am the best.

 Small little things that gives you joy - like the sweet fragrance of  flowers, - walking bare feet on the wet grass early in the morning - watch the sunrise and the sunset, painted with all the glorify colors of the rainbow of God's hand above you and on land.
The silver of the moon shine on the sea at night and that makes you to smile gently. A soft whisper of the breeze as you listen to the murmur of the waves and a soft whispered breeze of the wind touching your cheek, the murmur of waves.

God give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed and the courage to change the things that should be changed.

 

Joy, - likewise, which is the produce of the Spirit arises from an apprehension or good hope.

  . Good things attracts more good things.

Love Life and Live Life

My prayer: "Thank you Father for small little things that I can still see, feel and smell. Thank you for all your blessings and that I can still have the Love and Joy of your Love".

Amen!

Sweet Rose

Sweet Rose - written by Nishani Ford for Nellie Vermeulen - exclusive!

Poetic Purpose - This poem was written for me by Nishani Ford on my departure from Nedbank 30 June 2012 and is very dear to me, therefore, I would like to share it as part of my journey through life:

"I look at you and wonder if you know,
The strength you carry in your softness
 - A rose with the softest touch,

It's fragrance lingers like footprints on our hearts
An embodiment of feminine - 
You radiant life and energy that's contagious;

Your sparkle inspires us to grow 
- And in those moments when we want to turn and go,

Your gentle embrace and whispered words of encouragement bring us back to what is true, to what is real.

Through the thorns you have blossomed - A hero to your offspring, strong and rooted
A single rose you have stood,
Now your branches too bear your undeniable signature of faith

You see us, - You inspire us
You cause us to grow, - To love to be true,

And so sweet rose - Blossom where you are,
Loving as you go

Your sweet fragrance - We carry on our hearts
Undeniably soft
Undeniably strong

Sweet rose
We carry you in our hearts - for now, for always...."

My sincere thanks to you,  Nishani - I will always treasure this Poem in my heart!
