“MY”
I am looking at a calendar from Paper Plus Kaitaia and I am reading, “Paper Plus–My books. My stationery. My store.” (I wish, it would be my store; but it is not as you well know.)
Every morning I am reading from CH Spurgeon “Morning and Evening” and today (21. 04. 08) the reading is from Job 19:25. Spurgeon starts with “The marrow of Job’s comfort lies in the little word “MY” – “My Redeemer,” and in the fact that the Redeemer lives.
And of course I do not really want to say, “My store.” But I am glad that I can say, “My Redeemer.” – MY REDEEMER LIVES!”
CAN YOU SAY THAT?

“R is for RELATIONSHIPS”
I am interested in relationships and that’s why I took this picture. And I am really glad that I did. The word relationship seems to be a very important word.

There is a big — half a page — advertisement in todays newspaper the “Northern News”. (July 23, 2008) It says, “Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life.” The author of the advertisement is a certified course leader based on Louise Hay Philosophy.
She is very much interested in relationships and asks, “How are your relationships with: Your parents? Your children? Your siblings? Your friends? Your neighbours? Your boss? Your colleagues?”
The most important question is missing:
HOW IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIVING GOD?
