123rd Annual Show to be held at A & P Showgrounds Kaitaia

Last year (2010) at the SHOW:

Te Wa

“Tomuri rawa te wa mo ratou e tatari ana

Tere rawa te wa mo ratou e wehi ana

Roa rawa te wa mo ratou e tangi ana

Poto rawa te wa mo ratou e hari koa ana

Engari

Mo Ratou e aroha ana Kahore rawa He mutunga mai” (Maori)

TIME

“Time is too slow for those who wait

Time is too fast for those who fear

Time is too long for those who mourn

Time is too short for those who rejoice

BUT

for those who love time is eternal” (English)

We find the story of Jacob and his sons in the first book of the Bible. Please read in the book of Genesis the chapters 28-50. If you don’t want to read all the chapters, read chapter 29!

Jacob did not fear, Jacob did not mourn. He did not rejoice. What did Jacob do? Jacob waited, he waited to be married to……. Rachel.

He waited not only, but he served seven years to get Rachel. Imagine, seven long years. That are 84 months or 364 weeks or 2555 days.

But what did we read just now? “But for those who love time is eternal.”

Eternal means “unchanged by time”. The meaning of eternity is the “timeless existence”.

That’s why it says in Genesis 29:20

“So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him…….” Why? “because of his LOVE for her.”

“Heaven’s great harbor of refuge is ALL-prayer; thousands of weather-beaten vessels have found a HAVEN there, and the moment a storm comes on, it is wise for us to make for it with full sail.” – C. H. Spurgeon

To be in to win a copy of Cataclysm, tell us why you are feeling positive about 2011.

I feel positive about 2011, because

“THE GOD OF ETERNITY IS THE GOD OF EVERY HOUR AND MINUTE FOR A BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST!”

Kind Regards,
