Families

http://www.flickr.com/photos/brigida/
Many look at Saturday evening as a time to party and have fun. Recently on a Saturday evening i was at the upminister railway station waiting for a train to home and a rather interesting family caught my attention. There were a lady, a small girl of twelve, a boy of seven and a little girl of four or five. They ran hiding behind a coke vending machine laughing. Then the youngest one popped her head out, the mother pulled her back. Them the older girl popped her head out. Then the boy walked from behind the machine. Their action clearly indicted that they were hiding from something. This kept going for five minutes till the mother walked out and took a peak at the doors they came out from and jumped and went back into hiding with her children... Pulling them all into the safety of the vending machine. There was something about everyone in the family, the little ones were the loudest, making happy shrieks and running around in her little shoes .... it was worth a watch . I looked up at the time  displayed on the notice board ... i had ten more minutes to wait and there was a great film in making in front of my eyes.

Curiosity had its limits... Me along with some other silent onlookers who were with me on the other side platform who had this beautiful suspense story played out. Then a young boy stepped out. Immediately the little girl, the youngest of the lot jumped in to scare him. He hardly noticed her as both of them were pulled behind the coke machine by the mother. Minutes passed, many passengers passed that way, they younger ones nearly spring on every one. Just then out of the corner a man walks, he smiles a bit seeing the youngest girl who is drawn into hiding by a hand that looks like a man eating vine. The man walks as close as possible to the vending machine, slowly and then screams loudly that all the five in the hiding just goes crazy.

My best belief is that it was the man they were waiting for. I laughed, the girl next to me laughed, we looked at each other and smiled. Ain't it all about love and family.


God Bless You All

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...

God of Hope | Romans 15:13 | Sermon Notes | Podcast and YouTube Video

Sermon Notes: Bible Verse: Romans 15:13 Romans  Written by Paul / Saul Made up of Jewish and Non Jewish Claudius forced Jews to leave Rome and after 5 years they returned and there was a new church in the old place - one that was predominantly Non Jewish and therefore much of Romans is written with the slight aim to understand how Gentiles fit into the Jewish Messiah. This means that Gentiles are part of  Abraham family and how they were asked to unify in Love Now we come to the chapter 15. Saying that in this process of loving others, we often come across the failure of others. Lets go to the verse May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. May the God of Hope God who gives us Hope Hope from what? Hope in what? He fills us Joy and Peace in our believing Through Holy Spirit Suffering produces endurance (Romans 5:3-5) endurance character character hope How come? - Because God's love has been ...
