Hi my Blogging friends it was a choice to continue posting or wait till January it seems I might need extra help so why not post and take the risk and I feel this post is long overdue.
I have been blogging with you for almost 4months and I didn’t know any of you before except Dunia who set up my Blog and some Australian friends, but now I feel like your all my family and of course you are Spiritually with us all being part of The Body of Christ but I feel close to you as you would a Brother or Sister. I was wondering how could I feel this closeness in such a short time and then I remembered the Scriptures that talk about the importance of Uplifting and encourageing each other and I realised why you have had such an impact on me and anyone that knows me knows I don’t break cords of friendship with others even if there are Stormy seas.
So my dear Blogging friends I would like to share the Scriptures that motivated this response and your comments that you have written to me, they touched my heart, caused me to Laugh, brought tears of Joy to me, encouraged me to reflect more on our Awesome King of Kings and to continue His Kingdom work and they started a glow that can’t be dimmed. I would have loved to share many more of your comments but I was thinking another 20 Posts + might be just a bit too many but believe me they are all written on my heart. Thank you for your Honesty, Sincerity, Compassion, and for all The Love and kind words you have shared so freely and also a Big Thank You for all those who clicked Like!
Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
2 Timothy 4:2Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Colossians 2:2-3 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in Love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
1 Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, Love as brethren, be sympathetic, be courteous.

alienhippy October 26, 2011 Thank you so much for sharing this. I feel so much like the Eagle born to chickens and it made me smile reading about him. God is so good! I am so grateful that He knows me and calls me. I am an adult with Aspergers syndrome and dyslexia. Autistic spectrum Disorders were not very well know or diagnosed when I was a child. I have always felt rejected, different and wrong, I’ve never understood why I couldn’t fit. Only through Jesus and those He has brought into my life have I started to learn that I am wonderfully wired, yes I am different but I am not less.Your post really helps affirm what God speaks in me. Love, hugs and blessing to you. Lisa. xx
Thanks alienhippy for your honesty and your acceptance of yours and others disabilities, I appreciate this greatly with being disabled myself.
Anicka September 7, 2011 Yeah, it is a pleasure to help. I know how hard it was in the beginning, I also got that issue when I started, but you will like it though. Thank you, Anicka October 11, 2011 Another good message Anne, I always wanted to thank God for everything, and not just wished and prayed for something. I believed in God, with all my heart.
Thanks Anika for your encouragement when I first started blogging and for your honesty in sharing your ups and downs on your Blog.
April November 1, 2011 Anne, I can relate. The little cartoon character reminded me of me in times of frustrations with my email and blog site. Hang in there! It will all come together.

Debbie October 13, 2011 Anne – This is such a sweet sad post. C.S Lewis believed that animals went to heaven – Maybe Petal is waiting there with licks of love for you
Hi Debbie thanks for sharing, it’s good to focus on something uplifting as you do .
Dolly Bosch November 3, 2011 To Anne isn’t it great how God talks to us and shows us his love and grace? I can see that he is talking to us through the Powerpoint, messages and blogs that you have created. I am proud to call you my friend.
Thank you Dolly my faithful friend you haven’t let me down once in over 25 years how very blessed I am to know you as a Sister in The Lord through the good and the bad.
Thank you Dicky for some great leads.

Drusilla Mott December 18, 2011 Annie, Thank you for the reminder that we need to unite into one loving body that works together for the Lord. As far as the card – I love it. Thanks for posting this. Drusilla Mott December 3, 2011 / Edit OH! And by the way, I will NOT catch, clean or cook any fish! So if that thing that is sticking up out of the front is Tom Sawyer’s fishing pole, you can get rid of it!!!!!!
Drusilla Mott November 4, 2011 Annie, I love this … and you used my picture too! Thank you for sharing this. I don’t know what there is about old barns, but I love them. Maybe it is curiosity, wondering about all the things they have ‘seen’ as they stood in the weather. These pictures are beautiful, and the story is so wonderful. Praise God for His love, His grace, and for preparing us for what is to come. Drusilla Mott December 21, 2011 Hi Anne. I agree with Terra about the way people pick and choose what they want to accept and what they want to change from God’s Word. Interesting post, and I can see the differences in the way these comments continued to go back and forth. Me, I like to leave a comment and move on — don’t like the long, drawn-out back-and-forth conversations that just keep going; but that’s just me.
Thank you for your friendship Dru it has been a great encouragement and blessing and I’m very grateful also for all your help in getting started.
fromtheheartofj December 12, 2011 Truly a wonderful post. Yes sisters in Christ are a gift beyond measure. a treasure! Thank you Anne for spreading the love of sisterhood to so many. You are a true blessing!

Shalom Jeanne Webster November 16, 2011 LOL! I knew this was going there but it’s still a funny story! Loved it. Passing it on too.
Thank you my dear friend Jeanne for all your prayer support and your acceptance always of me as a person of worth.

Joyce de vivre December 28, 2011 Hello Anne,Thanks for updating us with your situation and so sorry to know about this problem. I believe the WordPress team will help you as they have fixed some of the problems I’ve encountered before. I admire you for being true to God and to us. Even though we can’t see each other face to face to blogging, I believe we should always be honest as God’s children. Thank you for never tiring to share your posts with us and I pray that you can post again soon God bless! Hugs, Joyce.
Thank you for your Honesty too Joyce, in your encouragement and in your sharing, I know if you say something you mean it and that is a great reassurance , if we can’t Trust each other we can’t have Unity.
nicole mugford / December 26, 2011 Hey Anne! Thanks for commenting on my blog with the encouragement of Romans 8:28 – That too is one of my favourite verses that has kept me from falling in the deep end many times. I am enjoying your blog and also reading a fellow Australian, Don’t seem to find many Aussie Christian Bloggers. As a 19y/o I appreciate your wisdom and encouragement, Keep going strong for the Lord. Yours In Christ Nicole.
Thank you Nicole it was a blessing finding your blog too, for a young person you have a lot of maturity and wisdom, Americans are awesome too and so are some of the other Bloggers, you will enjoy meting up with them.
Lady Deidre December 10, 2011 I’m praying for you, Annie. You’re a dear sweet person — God will wrap you in HIs loving arms and comfort you!
Lady Deidre November 5, 2011 Don’t feel bad about the spiders, just mash and go! I hate to tell you this, but I awoke to a scorpion crawling across the terminal floor. You need not worry though! I have captured him into a trusty coffee can. Worry Free, Dei
Thank you Lady D, what a blessing you are, enjoyed the Laughs and your great Blog and I’m very thankful for your prayer support, but please forget the spiders next time you focus your camera.
lambskinny November 1, 2011 Love it! I’m a speech pathologist and dyslexia — just in case you think I think this — is NOT a sin! In Jesus’ glorious kindness, Carley lambskinny October 28, 2011 Anne – a common problem for many. People who’ve been hurt tend to hurt. Abused children grow up to be abusive adults unless the cycle is broken. May we each learn to treat one another gently and with loving-kindnesses. Amen. Thanks, Carley lambskinny October 21, 2011 Amen, Anne. Forgiveness is the oil that takes care of all our squeaky, rusty cracks and crevasses. Carley
Thanks lambskinny for your support and encouragement of those who Blog and the little extras you do to show they are appreciated.
LeRoy Dean Monday, September 24, 2011 Anne: I appreciate you. I have left comments on Sunday’s blog and Monday’s 26th blog should be interesting. Your Brother-in-Christ, Keep the Faith, Monday, September 26, 2011 Thanks for your kind words regarding “The Letter.”I get very few negative comments. When I do I respect the right for that person to have whatever opinion they like.
I blog what I believe God places on my heart. Your Brother-in-Christ, Keep the Faith.
Thanks LeRoy for your help when I first started Blogging, I’m sorry I accidentally deleted your comments on my Blog along with a few others and also a few early posts so I just copied a some of your e-mail comments so you wouldn’t be left out.
lilrennygirl November 29, 2011 Those colours on those birds are completely awesome. It reminds me of a beautiful God given rainbow after a summer shower or thunderstorm. It also reminds me that despite what I go through and on my down days God has placed a rainbow there for me when it is over to enjoy.
Thanks lilrennygirl it’s been great getting to know you and I look forward to sharing for with you’more in the future.
loopyloo305 December 27, 2011 So sorry that you are still having problems, Anne. Hopefully they will be fixed soon. Please do not worry too much, we will still be here and we all have problems at one time or another. Loopy
Thanks loopyloo305 for your concern both for me and others you have a very caring heart.
meetingintheclouds October 23, 2011 Hi Anne I have read a few of your posts. We have a few things in common but the greatest of these is our love for our Saviour and our desire for all to know, love and serve Him. I will be visiting here again when I have more time.It is good to “meet” a fellow Queenslander here. meetingintheclouds November 4, 2011 An old story, but like most old stories, it contains a lot of truth and a lesson for many. meetingintheclouds November 4, 2011 If all Christians followed this, there would be more Christians, but sadly unbelievers do not see much difference.
Thanks meetingintheclouds I appreciate that your share God’s Truth regardless of the rejection you may get… you are indeed an Aussie, always right out front.
mtsweat November 22, 2011 Amen, Anne! If we could just get this right, how much more awesome our world would be. Jesus calls us to edify, to lift one another up. It’s much too easy to find all the faults in others, because not only do we all have them, but they stick out like sore thumbs. But as your post so greatly describes, it takes effort to be an encourager. But it is well worth it! Thank you, this one made my day. God bless. mtsweat October 20, 2011 What a wonderful remembrance of your sister and to all those who have faced and walked (and are facing and walking) through this preying disease. Thanks for reminding us Anne, there is much to pray for, and many to comfort and encourage. God bless you friend.
mtsweat November 1, 2011 Great words, Anne. Thanks for sharing these wonderful truths in form of an excellent analogy. God bless.
Thank you my friend mtsweat, you are indeed a wonderful encourager, and it’s been a blessing sharing in your heart focus on your Blog thank you again for being always willing to uplift others.
michaeldthomasphotography November 20, 2011 Very inspirational, and I love the way you told this story.On a side note; I was going to recommend your site to my friend Dunia, but it looks like you already know her!
Thanks for sharing your great Photography Michael and for your encouragement.
Michael December 23, 2011 Hi Annie, This is Dru’s grandson Michael. Thank you for the card. I really liked. Merry Christmas.
Thanks Michael, your Thanks for the card was like receiving a present, how kind of you to say so, I look forward to sharing with you again.

Thank you Nitoy for the respect you showed an older woman.
notsamson November 28, 2011 Love the story, where is the question about what she did wrong and the role play you spoke about?
Thank you notsamson for your honesty, a lot of people who have doubts and fears because of their understanding of God, don’t express them as you do and those on your Blog, a good Scripture is 1 Corinthians 2 it explains why people get so confused.
nuvofelt October 7, 2011 God so loved the world…… If only more people would realise that truth. Pride is the most awful of sins. It removes us from the very heart of God who would accept absolutely anyone. This is a lovely post. nuvofelt October 6, 2011 Amen, Anne, we are all precious to Him.
Thanks nuvofelt for your strong stand for the Lord I’m always blessed by what you share.

Robin Lawrimore December 6, 2011 Beautiful word picture. The truth of “he became the creature that God had made him to be” is one that many take most of their life to realize. To know Him and to be known by Him, as His one of a kind design – that intimacy with Him is the utmost and worth the journey. Thank you.
Thank you Robin you too have some beautiful word pictures the intimacy with Him is the utmost and worth the journey.
Thank you Roger your encouragement to many is a great blessing.

Thank you Steven for your heart for Children in need.
sugarbellekids November 20, 2011 Beautiful Story! Every day in every way we should live out John 3:16.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Terra Newsome December 24, 2011 MERRY CHRISTMAS Anne! Thank you for being a good friend to me as we have come to know each other. May the blessings of the Lord rain down from heaven upon you. In abundance, all things you set your mind to do in Christ Jesus be done. Christian love to you my sister,Terra
Terra Newsome December 21, 2011 Hi Anne! This post was very interesting yet leaves me to pray even more for people who are blinded to truth; either by their own deception or that of someone else’s words that is dressed in sheep’s clothing. How ignorant people can be of the mind to pick and choose what suits them best instead of taking the word of God as set in stone with no room to give people a reason to make changes to suit them. Before we all became Christians, we too we blinded to the truth and conviction was not there. Thank God for the Spirit tugging at the heartstrings and we giving way to let Jesus come in and change us for the better. Glad you had a great time when you did visit America. May one day we cross paths, but if not, I’ll see you in heaven! God bless you for the friendship that I do cherish. Much sisterly love in the Lord, Terra
Thank you my caring friend Terra, for your Prayer support your encouragement, Love and uplifting messages.
