Do a good deed for someone you don't live with...

This Project 52 is fun and I'm finding that at the moment each week is just falling into place.

This week my mum came over and the kids had out a set of jacks that I have had for ages.  They're called Knuckleheads and they are very cute (quite possibly the reason I bought them in the first place!)

Look at those cute faces!

Well the kids weren't using them for what they were designed for (I think it was more for the noise they make when you throw them on the tiles!), so they were quite taken by Mum throwing them up in the air and trying to catch them on the back of her hand.  Mum had to go back to her childhood to try and remember the rules for the game (It was a bit of a long trip back!! Love you Mum!!!!)

Mikayla in particular tried for ages, while Mum was in hysterics, trying to get those little plastic faces to stay on the back of her hand.  It was very fun and perhaps exactly what Mum had needed at the time as she's been having a bit of a tough time at the moment.

When Mum left I got onto Ebay and bought her her very own set and had them delivered to her.  They arrived this morning and I think she quite enjoyed the surprise!

Doing something for someone else or giving a gift to someone you love is fun.  I've enjoyed it this week and it has reminded me of another gift that's on offer to all.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

 ~ John 3:16 ~

Question is, are you ready to receive it?

Until next week...

What next?... Find a new music artist and share your favourite song.

I was listening to Hope 103.2 just recently and heard a song that I quite liked and "Shazam"ed it (love Shazam - an iphone app that listens to a song and then tells you who sang it!).  I then had the common sense to write down the name of the artist in the notes section of my phone.  I then proceeded to forget about it!  


Found the note the other day and remembered that it was a good song. Also remembered that I received a couple of iTunes vouchers for Christmas.


After getting iTunes working on the new computer, I downloaded Matthew West's album 'The Story of Your Life'. 


The song that caught my attention on the radio is called 'My Own Little World'.


Here's a link to the video on YouTube and a link to the lyrics.


Hope you like the song and perhaps you might be challenged, as I was, to see life outside your own little world ~




After I finished watching the video, before I posted it here and was reminded of these verses in Matthew 25. ~ Another reason to look outside our own little worlds!

The Sheep and the Goats

    ³¹ “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. ³² All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

   ³⁴ “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶ I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

   ³⁷ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸ When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? ³⁹ When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

   ⁴⁰ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

~Until next week!

In the beginning... Create a Blog...

 Recieved a text from my friend Bec on New Years Eve inviting me to join with her and her friends in her Project 52.
