Most of this year has been uneventful with no real problems but yes sadness over loosing my Mum but God wonderfully reassured me that He was with me during this time.
But a problem that once again showed God does make a difference, occurred over the last two weeks or just before Christmas. I hit a stone on my Mobility Scooter which caused a puncher in one of the inner tubs in my wheels, as well as pinching a nerve in my Spine when I was thrown backwards, it was incredibly painful but with treatment I’m now healing well.
A friend’s husband realizing I would be stranded over Christmas and unable to visit the Elderly in the Nursing Home as planned, replaced the punctured tube but it burst as soon as I sat down on the Scooter, so once again he replaced it thinking he had brought the wrong size and all looked good this time after testing the tube by giving the Scooter a spin around the block.
On Christmas day after a special Breakfast with Ron and visiting Neighbors later, I headed off after lunch and made the trip to the Nursing Home and enjoyed a wonderful Christmas afternoon visiting my new Elderly friends. I also put Candy Canes with a message, in mail boxes on the way home, something that I have done for years, which meant I was up and down streets for quiet awhile. When I arrived home and was heading up the drive the second inner tube burst, but I was so thankful I got home that I didn’t worry about the tyre until yesterday.
Ron took me to a Mobility Supplier and I brought another inner tube but it was discovered by the Tyre Specialist that the tyre itself was so badly frayed inside that I needed a new one but what is amazing and is still unexplained, is how I was able to travel on it at all without it also bursting the second inner tube straight away like it did the first one.
I had been so disappointed when I thought that I would be unable to visit my new Elderly friends on Christmas Day, many don’t have visitors and also I would not to be able to put the Candy Canes in the letter boxes, I prayed and asked God to please make it possible if it was His will.
When my friends husband fixed my tyre again, I thanked God for answered prayer but Wow I can’t stop thanking Him now for an even greater blessing and something that was not possible without His intervention, this is why I thought I would share about it with all of you so you could thank Him too as many of you have said you pray for us and when we pray in the heart of God by the empowering of The Holy Spirit it’s powerful.
As an added blessing and one that I’m sure touches God’s heart is my friend who is not a Christian is now wanting to know more about our Awesome God, who cares enough about the Elderly to make sure they are visited on Jesus’ Birthday, even by someone they have not known for very long.
God Bless you all greatly in the New Year, may everyday confirm in your hearts that God makes a Big difference in many ways.
Christian Love from both of us – Anne

I do appreciate those who pray from the heart for me Planting Potatoes and as I read again this Post I’m once again reminded of God’s presence, He gave me pain relief at this time too so I could visit the elderly and share the Candy cane message which I had prayed for. I had very little pain so I did not find it hard but the treatment I was having is no different from now, we do indeed have a merciful God of Love and regardless of what happens now and in the future, I have no doubt that He is holding my hand.

God touches our heart in so many ways and amazed me throughout last Year. It seem funny writing that so early in the morning, hope you got those cards written. Going to check my mail box 🙂

Good Morning dear friend, I believe your Postman is on holidays till February but I can send your card by special delivery if you are desperate but knowing how patient you are, I will send it overnight instead 🙂 just joking you have the patience of Job but then he never had a mail delivery by Australian Post but his friends did visit him, so I’m packing my bag.
Yes very True what you shared Barb, God does touch our hearts through many ways and sometimes we don’t even recognize when He does till later and sometimes not till much later.
Christian Love Always – Anne

Isn’t it good to have a God who even worries over the every day things of life, He sees that we get home on broken down equipment, like He did with you Anne, He finds car parking for us when we need it urgently , gives us a special calmness when we need it most, continuing like that , 2014 looks really promising.
Blessings
Ron
