Thank you Dear Victor for your concern but No I’m still waiting for my Operation but you may have noticed that yes I’m still alive.
Another Public Government Hospital also cancelled my eye Operation just before I was to be Operated on and I had been waiting all day without Food and very little water since 7am in the Morning. They also put drops in my eye that stung greatly so I suffered intense pain too and I felt very Traumatized and all for nothing. yes the Storm has been very Violent and I have needed to Rest.
To Treat people and yes there are others who have also endured what I have with my Health and they like me are still being abused by indifference even though I was told in March last year that I could Die at any time, yes it is very Inhumane and uncaring and they are not treating us as People of Worth.
I was even told by a Nurse who was in charge of after care at a Hospital when I asked to see a Doctor that I’m not really that important, no doubt because I’m Bulk Billed like the others are.
But Thankfully I have been reassured Victor much more than once that I’m not alone in this Violent Storm. Jesus told us that will suffer and be Persecuted when we Stand up for His Truth and Satan who controls this World will make sure we are as he afflicts us with his hard Testing.
No we don’t have to be Happy Clappy about Persecution which can even come from those in our own Families and from some in the Churches and not just from Cults or False Teachers etc. We of course give Heartfelt Thanks and have Deep Inner Joy that we are known by our Abba Father as His own and have always been and that our Name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life and we don’t have to fear punishment like those who Persecute us will, God doesn’t Plan evil for us like they do but we Pray they will come to their senses and Repent although sadly some even think the evil they are doing is for God.
I will be Posting again Victor in the next few days and also visiting you and my other Blogging Friends to read and comment on yours and their Messages. Thank you again and God Bless you Greatly – Anne.

It is such a great pleasure for me to read from you again, Anne. Of course, I know you are alive! And I’m deeply sorry for the traumatic experiences you had at the hospital.
That you are able to keep being joyful in the midst of these challenges is commendable and inspirational to those of us your friends on the blogosphere. My prayer is that God will keep you longer here on earth. You are a a woman of faith!

It’s good to hear A Servant that you are also blessed in visiting the Elderly, they have so much to give. I did volunteer work for over 5 years in a Nursing Home in Sydney and yes it is very rewarding,
So what do you feel A Servant would be a good theme for this Gentleman’s Power point that I’m creating for him, another man’s view would be great , Ron is away so I can’t ask his advise right now and I forgot to ask him before and I do need to finish it today because I’m visiting again tomorrow, I hope you can help.

Hmmm, I’ve never tried to do something like that. Most guys lament the loss of motor skills, as a result, I would make the theme on wisdom. As we age we rely on knowledge to overcome the decreasing strength and agility.
Of course you know that Proverbs would yield a boat load of captions for your PowerPoint slides if the theme was wisdom. Just a thought.

Yes Wisdom would be a great theme, A Servant, I did a Post about Wisdom some time ago, I will leave the link for you below and yes I used Proverbs too, thanks for your advise, I will use God’s Wisdom as the theme with the cats, the age do indeed have life wisdom and those who ask for it also have Godly wisdom.
Wisdom – https://freedomborn.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/the-gaining-of-wisdom/
My hair is going grey now and the Children who use to call me Aunty Anne now call me Grannie Annie and nobody asks to see my Senior’s card anymore, they just believe me 🙄 so I must have life wisdom and because I have asked for it like others have and God keeps His promises, I also have His Godly Wisdom ….. How good is that!

Thank you dear Clarabelle for taking the time to watch it, I love Roses too, some of the sayings on the Power point are my heart whisperings and some are others.
I have been thinking about your Power point, could I use one of your poems or songs as the theme or would you like to write something special again about God’s Love for it , but if not, don’t worry I can use my own or other peoples thoughts.

Yes, absolutely Anne, please use one of my poems or songs, you are most welcome, please choose one of your choice, I have hundreds of poems on my blog and have written loads of songs. “I am the greatest” is a song I wrote this year. here are the lyrics:
Verse 1
You’ve gotta put the hard work in
And let your mind know
In order to catch the falling star
You’ve gotta move and go
Time it will not wait for you
Life moves very fast
So step it up, get going
Live it up, get showing
Say I Am
Chorus
I am the greatest
I’ve changed my ways
I’ve reached the rainbow
Happy sunny days
For I am the greatest
So watch me fly
I am the greatest
This is why
Verse 2
Times are tough I know sometimes
Keep going until the end
To reach the top you have to go
Be real do not pretend
You can be the champion
You can have it all
So live it up, get moving
Play the game, get grooving
Say I Am
Bridge
I feel my heart
I feel my soul
In changing moments
This I know
Chorus
I am the greatest
I’ve changed my ways
I’ve reached the rainbow
Happy sunny days
For I am the greatest
So watch me fly
I am the greatest
This is why
This is why
I will fly
Thank you Anne

Thank you for your kind words Anne. I can assure you, however, that if there is any beauty in me, it is ONLY because of Him. He changed me and made me what I am.
I agree that all flowers and all of God’s creation in any form, is beautiful. (Yes, even the ugly looking beetles, spiders, insects etc have their own beauty – as long as I don’t have to touch them!)
We stand amazed at His greatness in all His creation, but while I enthuse about many flowers, I still think that the rose is the crowning glory of them all. I know others have other views, and that is fine, because, thankfully, we are all different, just as God intended.
Keep up the great work.
