“You have said, I will surely make you prosper.” – Genesis 32:12

Relationships!

Again?

Yes, I am reading again about healthy relationships.

What is a key part to building a healthy relationship?

“Communication is a key part to building a healthy relationship.”

What must we do to have a closer relationship with our kids?

“For a closer relationship with your kids spend quality family time together.”

I am finding those answers in the magazine called “Newborn2Five” I received not long ago together with our local newspaper on page 11.

Family Violence

We must remember communication. We must remember spending quality time together.

But most of all we must remember to communicate with our creator and we must remember to spend time with our God.

Do you have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ?

EASTER

“I am the way and the truth and the life.” – John 14:6

THERE WAS A TIME in my life when I did not know the meaning of those words of the Lord Jesus Christ.

THE WAREHOUSE LTD is selling those cards for Easter and I am wondering how many people are buying the cards without knowing what Easter is all about.

BUT NOW I know in my heart that the Lord Jesus Christ is:

“the way,

the truth and

the life.”

What about you?

“Investing in our children’s future,” it says on the front cover of the magazine called “NEWBORN 2 FIVE”.

“Give your child a great start,” encourages a Kindergarten advertisement parents on page three in the same magazine.

“Investing in our children’s future”

The BIBLE says in Proverbs 22:6, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

Parents are told not only to fix the words of the Lord in their hearts, but also in their minds. They are also told to teach them to their children. Not only to teach them, but to impress them on their children. Parents are told to talk about them all the time, at home, when walking on the street, when lying down and when getting up. The Bible speaks also of tying them as symbols on our hands and binding them on our foreheads. We are reading about writing the commandments not only on the door frames of our houses, but also on the gates.

When we are doing all that we are not only investing in our children’s future for this life, but also for the life to come, for eternal life.

MANGONUI ON THE EAST COAST IN THE FAR NORTH OF AOTEAROA.

“The first European to visit Doubtless Bay was the Frenchman Jean de Surville on the St Jean Baptiste in 1769. Within the same week an Englishman, James Cook, sailed past the entrance to the bay. A chance remark ‘doubtless a bay’ by one of his crewman resulted in the name Doubtless Bay.”

Mangonui

“By the mid 1800s Mangonui had become a bustling centre for whalers and traders. The sawmilling, flax and gum industries were flourishing.”

Mangonui

“In 1881 the first regular passenger steamship service began between Mangonui and Auckland. It lasted until 1931 when new roads became the main transport link. With the development of roading throughout the north the centre of population moved away from Mangonui, leaving the village a much quieter place.”
