Baba. 3 years in mind.

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of my Dad’s passing. 3 years! It’s humorous to think that it has been that long yet it only feels like yesterday sometimes. I wanted to honour the day by doing something and writing a few lines about him feels like I have honoured him in the only way I can. My dad was many things, but most of all, he was my dad. I loved him very much. He taught me how to place God first in everything. My dad will not allow us start the day without first saying a big hello to Jesus. The early morning devotions were of high priority and this really helped in building the strong family peace and unity that we experienced. A family that prays together stays together....
Enclosed is a detached piece of paper that I found in Baba's Bible. I wanted to type it out but on a second thought; I felt it would be better to post it in its original format. May God bless you in Jesus Name, Amen.
Read and enjoy Baba’s thoughts.

March 14th 2012 DEVOTION
BABA :3 Years in mind today.
The word Trust was heavily laid on our minds during the morning devotion today. My Mum emphasised on the need to place our absolute trust in God.
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God" (Psalm 20:7).
“It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man”. (Psalm 118:8)
Today as we remember Baba, the objective of our focus should be God. We should recognise that God can use any one to meet us at the point of our needs but trusting God alone for help and happiness is the ultimate.
As my father would always say during the early morning devotions: trust and obey God; for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey..... This is the key to the secret of happiness in life.
Today, as we remember Baba, let us stay courageous and focused!
"You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on you, Because he trusts in You'" (Isaiah 26:3).
"And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You" (Psalm 9:10).
"Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever" (Psalm 125:1).
Do not place your trust in weapons, in riches, in yourself, in man, in governments or in the lying words of a godless society. Put your trust in God.
Psaumes 125
1Ceux qui se confient en l'Éternel Sont comme la montagne de Sion: elle ne chancelle point, Elle est affermie pour toujours.
2Des montagnes entourent Jérusalem; Ainsi l'Éternel entoure son peuple, Dès maintenant et à jamais.
3Car le sceptre de la méchanceté ne restera pas sur le lot des justes, Afin que les justes ne tendent pas les mains vers l'iniquité.
4Éternel, répands tes bienfaits sur les bons Et sur ceux dont le coeur est droit!
5Mais ceux qui s'engagent dans des voies détournées, Que l'Éternel les détruise avec ceux qui font le mal! Que la paix soit sur Israël!

Happy leap month.

In this leap month, may God give you the power to leap to your next level.

A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man. Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.

"What's the problem, ma?" the hostess asked her
"Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat"

- "Please, calm down, ma" - said the hostess
"Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any."

The hostess left and returned some minutes later.

"Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class- economy class.
But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn't any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class."

And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued

"Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class.
However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travelling sit next to an unpleasant person."

And turning to the black man, the hostess said:

"Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class..."

And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet."

May God turn your shame to glory. Peace!!!

Laugh for the day...
A Spanish Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2.The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ('el computador'), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

Send this to all the smart women you know...and all the men that have a sense of humor.

Laugh Out Loud

A jobless man goes to a zoo for a new job at the zoo. The zoo had a shortage of animals so they offered to dress him up in a chimpanzee’s skin and pretend to be a chimpanzee to entertain the people coming to the zoo.

On his first day on the job, the guy puts on the skin and goes into the cage. The people all cheer to see him. He starts really putting on a show, jumping around, beating his chest and roaring.

During one acrobatic attempt, he loses his balance and crashes through some safety netting, landing square in the middle of the lion cage! As he lies there stunned, the lion roars. He’s terrified and starts screaming, “Help, Help!”

The lion races over to him, places his paws on his chest and hisses, “Shut up you idiot or we’ll both lose our jobs!”


Less stress please! I wish you all the best for the week.
