On this PENTECOST SUNDAY let us all remember with thankfulness the many times our Saviour has been with us through the bad days as well as the Glorious ones.
An image from the past both shocked and surprised me. I experienced again the sadness of departure from the property I loved but the yellow car of departure is just like the HOPE and PROMISE of the New Day.
Good Morning ALL! Blessings and Thanks be to Our Lord that this day reminds us that Crist is with us and because HE gave His Life at Calvary, HIS SPIRIT now lives in us as redeemed Children of a HOLY LORD.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
