Australian Day 26th Jan~ Song "I AM AUSTRALIAN"

On the 26th January we celebrate Australia Day down under.
We are a Continent, a Country and an Island.
And we are made up of many different nationalities.
Men and women who may not have wanted to leave their homeland,
but did, so that they could have a better life.
I am a third generation Australian on my maternal side.
I come from Welsh, then French stock.
On my paternal side I am a second generation Australian..
My father was English and his parents Scottish.
So I suppose I am a fruit cake.

I never realised what my country meant to me, until I went to live in America for three years.
Yes, we visited back here a couple of times, but I was homesick.
I think after my family, what I missed the most was the smell of eucalyptus, and those wonderful gum trees.
I missed the kookaburra laughing, and our beaches.... we have 11,000.
Captain Cook claimed Australia for England in 1770, although other explorers had visited before him.
If you listen to the song, you will hear that, we are one (all Ozzies) but we are many(a mixture of other lands). What makes a country and what makes a world? The people.
Lets live together in harmony and bless each other.

Life Changes

Ray and I have have recently been to New South Wales to visit my mother.
She is almost ninety four years old. 
Her body is frail but her mind is alert.
We took her, together with my nephew, to a restaurant for lunch.
Living in a Nursing Home and having companionship, she no longer desires to travel around as she once did. 
Yet she requested this day out. And she enjoyed it very much.

 Its strange but I never think of mum as old.
To me she is still the younger woman who could do anything, and did.

 I found this black and while photo of her aged in her late forties with her pet Joey (baby kangaroo).
I don't know how she got him, but she loved and treated him like a beloved child.
He went everywhere with her in the car.
Finally he grew large enough to hop over the fence and finally, he was killed on the road.
It devastated her. 


Over the years mum had many pets, but he was one of a kind.

I wonder how my children will reminisce about me as time goes by?
They'll probably remember some of the funny or silly things I do.
I wonder if they will see me as old,.... or how I once was?
Life changes for all of us.

Dare to be Different.

I am different, and often, I rock the boat.
Here it is Sunday, and I am posting a site about jobs..
Hey, all through our life we have to work don't we?
And sometimes, we just can't find that job?
God cares and I care, so check out these sites?

Anyhow, I think it is good to be advised.
So for anyone out there who needs work, try it.

Please give feedback on how you find this.
Sometimes, we need to change locations if that's where the work is.

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: 

“The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

2 Thessalonian s 3:10

The Inspirational Story of Garvan Byrne (Edited Version)

Garvan Byrne as interview by Mother Frances Dominica, in a hospice. 
How could an eleven year old boy have this much wisdom?
How could a child of this age, look forward to his own death with such faith?


I believe he was God inspired!
He stopped growing at age five and went to Glory at age twelve.

AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER DOES IT AGAIN!!!

(Prime Minister Julia Gillard - 
Australia )

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the  government targeted radicals in a bid to head off  potential terror attacks.

 Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques.

Quote:   ‘IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.  

Take It Or Leave It.

“I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. 

Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.  ‘This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom’   

We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish,  Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of  our society . Learn the language!’

‘Most Australians believe in God.  This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because  Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.  If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.  ‘We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why.  

All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and  peaceful enjoyment with us.’

‘This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.  But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, ‘THE  RIGHT TO LEAVE‘.’

‘If you aren’t happy here then LEAVE.   

We didn’t force you to come here.   

 You asked to be here.  

So accept the country  YOU accepted.’

Good job madame …(Written By Brigitte Gabriel: Silence Speech)

Proud and Pride

Proud and Pride, is there a difference.
The dictionary list both with similar meanings..  Oh No!

I get very proud when I do well.
I always try to do my best, and I believe that is a good thing.
I get excited for others when they do well also..
I believe in being positive and to always encourage.
There can be a problem with being like this.
Not everyone knows where or what you have come from.
Not everyone can understand ..... Your past shapes your future.
They see the now, they don't know the before..

In EVERYTHING:   Give God The Glory.

Lets not judge others..
"For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use,

it will be measured back to you."

Matthew 7:2

I am proud to have a daughter who loves and serves the Lord...

And she is proud to declare her witness on the beach wall.

Sheep or Goat

 Sheep trust, perhaps that's why Jesus said this:

"My sheep hear My voice,  Do you listen and hear from God?

and I know them,                   If so, then He knows you!

and they follow me."            This means willingly and joyfully~
John 10:26

Goats on the other hand, are obnoxious creatures...
They won't listen and they do as they please.

ARE you a Sheep or a Goat?

 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.  

He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left."

Matthew 25:31-33

The sheep will be kept.
The Goats left.
