“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.” – Proverbs 4:10

My best books are bought for almost nothing at second-hand shops. This one also!

Finished reading the book MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY  by Anita Bryant.

“A Gifted Personality Tells Her Unforgettable Life Story – the triumph of faith and love over the powers of darkness and doubt.”

The book is difficult to put down and it is a real page turner.

“Long life is in her [wisdom] right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.” – Proverbs 3:16 

One more beautiful flower

“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.” – Proverbs 3:7,8

Are you looking for health and a long life?

If you do, you must do the following:

• You must not forget the teaching of Wisdom.
• You must keep the commands of Wisdom in your heart.
• You must not be wise in your own eyes.
• You must fear the LORD and shun evil.
• You must find Wisdom.

If you do all that, you don’t only have health and a long life, but also prosperity, riches and honour.

“My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.” – Proverbs 3:1,2

Cake with Cream

“Enjoy!” I was told and a cake with cream was set before me.

I was sitting in one of the many restaurants here in Kaitaia having a flat white.

Seeing three other customers at the table next to me eating cake with cream reminded me of a place in Taipa on the east coast where they served apple slices with cream. We have been there sometimes on a fine day for a cup of coffee.

TAIPA: Where they served apple slices with cream

Having never seen cake served with cream here at this place, I was curious to know more and asked the three strangers. I was told of course what I wanted to know and said that I must have cake like that sometimes.

After that I  minded my own business again.

“I find it very difficult to accept things like that,” I could only think of saying when one of the strangers put a just bought cake with cream on my table.

I was told again, “Enjoy!” when the strangers left. And “ENJOY!” the cake I did. (And honestly, I do not really know, when I buy another one.)

And only just before I began writing this it occurred to me that I never thanked the strangers for their kindness.
