Pohutukawa

Another name for pohutukawa is Christmas Tree.

“A New Zealand tree which grows on the coast and produces red flowers in summer.”

“Hugs not Thugs” was the theme of the  “whanau day out” (gathering) today at the Kaitaia swimming pools with lots of activities including Ki-O-Rahi. That’s what I was told by the lady I met in front of the gates of the pools, where the place was prepared to play the Maori game Ki-O-Rahi (she told me that she taught Ki-O-Rahi in Germany while on a tour) when I asked her what the summary of the opening speech was. (I did not hear the opening speech.)

“Hugs not Thugs.”

It was a joy to tell her about my Saviour Jesus Christ. Luke 2:11 “Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ (Messiah) the LORD.”

But my joy was even greater when I entered the gates of the pools – free entrance today- and I saw the wife of one of my friends. I invited the whole family of five to the local Baptist Church for a FREE concert and a meal. So far about eleven people said that they would come to the concert and the meal. Praise the LORD!

HUGS WILL INCREASE AND THUGS WILL DECREASE WHEN THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED!

Romans 1:16

“Gott braucht keinen Radiergummi, wenn er die Geschichte deines Lebens schreibt.” – Gerrid Setzer

“We are an example all of the time, not just when we want to be.” – R. Pat Webb

Matthew 5:13 “‘YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH.'”

Matthew 5:14 “‘YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.'”

“Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” – Mark Twain

You find four verses in Ezekiel chapter 29 alone with the obove meaning. Here they are:

— Ezekiel 29:6 “Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the LORD.”

— Ezekiel 29:9

— Ezekiel 29:16

— Ezekiel 29:21

How many verses with that meaning are in the book of  Ezekiel? How many verses with that meaning are in the Bible?

I have to find out!

I wish we could say:  “Then all who live in New Zealand will know that I am the LORD.”

I wish we could say:  “Then all who live in the world will know that I am the LORD.”

“…. simply tell us about your passion in life -…..”

It is a joy for me to do so.

Recently Huffer redisigned the look of the new Telecom mobile broadband T- Sticks. I am reading that in the November 2010 Telecom newsletter called: “In Touch”.

Huffer is a successful business. Why? The reason is the passion of their people.

Telecom is giving away five of the Huffer-designed T – Sticks in a draw. What must I do to be in the draw to win? It says in the newsletter:  “Passion is central to the Huffer team so simply tell us about your passion in life – it might be your kids, your classic sports car or your pet canary!”

My Passion in life:

With other words I am concerned for the GLORY OF GOD!
