We need to pray this prayer often and always.......
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you will live deep in your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people and the earth so that you will work for justice,equity and peace.
Hope you have a week where you are able to do something about the above in our country or even just your community.
We need to pray for the leaders of this beautiful country of ours to make a change to remember who voted them in and
that they are expecting a delivery of the promises made in elections.
Just a few thoughts to get you all going.........

DONATE
Hi
Donate time, money, clothes, food and anything that will make your life simple so that others can simply live.
It amazes me that people , and especially in our country, can live their lives without a thought of others! When
you drive past a poorer area or a squatter camp does it not affect you a little all those people trying to make a
living and surviving with almost nothing? Are they so wrapped up in their little bubbles that it doesn't affect
them at all?
We have to set an example and live prudently and give to others and provide jobs where we can and just listen
to people and sometimes all that is needed is a hug, a smile and friendly greeting. What does that take a few
minutes of your time and a little thought for another human being......................
Make it your mission to get involved in your local community and do something for someone else who is
not expecting it. That surprise would make MY day wouldn't it make yours and even more so for someone
else!!!!!!!!

Protecting children
Having children is the hardest job of all AND there is absolutely NO training isn't that weird?
As a parent you see yourself in your children and you want to tell them to do things differently
because you have BEEN down that road and know how it is going to end.......but you have to
stand back and watch them. Scary to say the least but hopefully their common sense goes into
over drive and they sort it out.
Holding back is hard for us parents to do and now we understand our parents a bit and they
are not that weird after all. You also have to encourage so that they will take a leap and fly to
reach their full potential which you know they have inside them.
We have to give them roots and wings at the same time which in its self is a contradiction but
if you think about it its the best we can do! You can only hope that the example you have
tried to set is going to rub off on them and their kids one day.
Remember we are citizens of the world treat it and all who live here with respect.

Enjoy each day.....................
Hi all
Just a reminder to ENJOY each day as if it is your last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun, break the rules, tell people you love them,
that they are important, do something good for someone else for a change, give money to the people at the robot it is
just by God's grace that, that person is not you!
Do some charity work on a regular basis it is really rewarding today I gave 5 bags of womens clothing to a
doctor who helps/runs and aids clinic and his patients dont have winter clothes. I collect donations at my church
and redistribute them -funny I help run a soup kitchen there and we only have men so it is weird that they
need the womens clothes. Everything gets used and sent to the right place.
Dont think too much about stuff that might not even happen just "do" one week at a time it is
way easier than trying to live in a regimented time frame if you do you will miss out on so much.

Break downs.............
Hi
When your car starts doing wierd things like the lights on the dashboard flashing or radio just going OFF on their own
you know that SOMETHING is going to go wrong. Common sense dictates that you get as close to home as possible
as FAST as possible before the car literally BLOWS UP or just STOPS!!!!!!!!!
When it does stop and you are in peak hour traffic it is best to try and move the car out of the way-- to all the guys
who stopped to offer help to our little kia tonite THANKS it is great to know that there are still people out there
who are prepared to help....... to the rest who complained hooted and told us to put the HAZARDS on HELLO the
car is broken down ie NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope you never break down in traffic but if you do we will stop and help YOU.
To the fantastic tow truck driver (thanks to first for women) what a star who moved our car safely and neatly. Now
we hope that this is not going to cost us a fortune and life can soon get back to normal....

Hello
Hello
Common sense is when you are at a stop street behind a truck which has stopped (obviously its a stop street) and you wait your turn
NOT like some Guy (in navy blue golf on tuesday afternoon on witkoppen rd.) who just ignores us and goes around the truck into traffic almost causing a HUGE accident, HELLO what is your problem........
Is common sense closley related to responsiblity? Have you heard about the BILL OF RESPONSIBLITY sounds like common sense,
eg
if you want to have the right to have sex at the age of 13 or whatever they you must accept the responsibilty and take precautions
otherwise there will be a pregnancy!!! What do you think are we getting too regimented by our government a bit like ozzie?????

Hi
Hope you are all having a good week, remember it will be great as it is a short one. This is a NEW thing for me to be blogging
usually it is for the YOUNGER generation but here goes.....................
Common sense is something we are all born with but somehow we lose it along the way or we dont teach our kids how
to use it! It is your gut feeling about something ,the right thing to do in certain situations when you KNOW what you are
doing is wrong or that when you look back you REALISE that it was the wrong decision, come on people this is something
that we have inside us , we just need to use it properly.
Like when you are going out and it looks like rain - take a rain coat - or you will get wet!!!! When people tell something
is on sale and the price is ridiculously low - your common sense - should tell you if it is too good to be true IT PROBABLY
IS!!!!!!!
