Daffodil Day – 28th of August 2009
Who is ruling you?
“HUGS NOT THUGS”
“The Hugs Not Thugs campaign was launched in Kaitaia in 2005 to promote family wellbeing and prevention of family violence.”
“SPEAK UP AGAINST ABUSE”
Thursday 27th August
“Our Issues, our Solutions”
The first in a series of discussions designed to address violence and abuse in our community.”
The activities started at 10.30am with a march along the Main Street of KAITAIA beginning at KFC and ending at the Community Centre, where the meetings were held until 3.00pm.
Golden Nugget:
Romans 13:8
“Let no DEBT remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.”
Today I went to the meeting called “The ‘Keeping us Safe’ Morning Tea ” and picked up the following leaflets:
“Struggling with Debt? Free Debt advice. Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is an award winning debt counselling charity.”

Golden Nugget:
John 15:14,15
“You are my FRIENDS if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you FRIENDS, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”

THE ‘KEEPING US SAFE’ MORNING TEA
This afternoon somebody who saw me at the meeting “The ‘Keeping us Safe’ Morning Tea” this morning stopped me to talk. I found out that it was the mother of the coordinater of the event.
“Did you enjoy the meeting?” I was asked. Of course, I enjoyed the presentations of the different guest speakers from Fire Safety, Age Concern, Arthritis New Zealand and CPTED. (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design)
I told the lady who stopped me, that I was especially interested in the subject of Crime Prevention (I asked for the notes of the Lecture) and I also explained to her why: We used to work with the United Maori Mission in Kaikohe preaching the Gospel. Preaching the Gospel to people is the best Crime Prevention. We have to come back to a living relationship with our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Fear of God.
I was not arrested!
I was not arrested yesterday, but I experienced what it says in Matthew 10:19, “But when they arrest you,…..” Please read Matthew 10:16-20.
A person I respect talked all of a sudden about “Heaven” and “The man upstairs” in the course of our conversation.
I opened my mouth and talked about my belief in the Lord Jesus Christ for a couple of minutes. Four people were present in the room.
Later on I said to one of the four people, “I am really surprised how the words flowed out of my mouth and how the Lord helped me to say what I said.”
I hope you have read the portion of Scripture in Matthew 10:16-20 – Matthew is one of the 66 books of the Bible – as suggested, and if you have you will remember that it says in Matthew 10:16, “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.”
And that are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ!
