 Happy Thanks Giving for the

26th November 2020         

Firstly I like to wish everyone a Happy Thanks Giving.

I thought today I would share with you all, my Bible Art Journaling that I had done back in February, this year. Who would have knew not long after I drew this, that a whole new way of living our lives through this year, was just around the corner for us all.  

I drew this one because I was a feeling a little low in my life. One of the things that I find helpful, to lift me up out of the doldrums is to give thanks to our Abba Father for all things. And before I know it, I’m back to my usual chipper self.

Some of the Scriptures that support this can be found in:

Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Meditate on These Things

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. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Colossians 3:1 NKJV

3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Colossians 3:17 NKJV

17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Proverbs 12:25 NKJV

25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,
But a good word makes it glad.

And now that we have come through this year having gone through the isolation and still going through it, I am even more grateful, for these things that I wrote about and more in my Bible Art Journaling. Especially after not being able to see our family and friends and not being able to go to Church and worship with our fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

I also love to sing songs that lift me up, (Lol not that I have a good singing voice, but I still don’t let that stop me). One of the songs that I love to sing is from the movie “Mary Poppins”, “These are a few of my favorite things”.

Today I give thanks to our Abba Father for being our always there for us and being our shield and covering us under His wings in His temple and protecting us all from this virus.

I praise and thank You Abba Father for my Husband, all our Children, their partners, our Grandchildren, my parents and all our extended family and friends.

I praise and thank You Abba Father that You have this whole world in Your loving hands.

I praise and thank You Abba Father that one day soon we will all be able to travel again and continue to see Your marvelous creation and visit once more all our family and friends overseas and in other parts of Australia.

I praise and thank You Abba Father for the beautiful things in this world that You have created for us; like Your beautiful sunrises and sunsets, Your beautiful flowers, the 4 season of Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer, for our retro pastel house, the laughter of our Children, and especially for the loving hugs from our family and friends.

I praise and thank You, that You are our Shalom peace and that we do not have to live in fear when we are in Your love.

In Jesus name I pray these prayers, Hallelujah and Amen.

Who Remembers The Mr Whippy Van

                                    Who Remembers The Mr. Whippy Van Who remembers the Mr. Whippy van driving around the neighborhood of Melbourne, Victoria? I do, it was one of my precious memories of growing up. He would play his music on his loud speaker so that everyone no matter where you were could hear that Mr. Whippy was coming. We would all run out of the house so watch him coming especially on those really hot afternoons. While you would wait you could see all the other children and parents running out to their nature strips to purchase one of his yummy soft serve ice creams. Sometimes my parents would buy us all one and sometimes they wouldn’t. Now as a grownup I realize that they couldn’t always afford to buy us all one. But that still didn’t stop us from running out to watch Mr. Whippy do his thing. Mr. Whippy looked the splitting image of Elvis Presley. We used to think he had left his job and come to serve us ice cream and sing to us in Tottenham. Because we didn’t r
