service

Sometimes the ministry is a real challenge. Other times, you realise what a privilege it is to be able to make a difference in someone’s life. Today was one of those days.

My church isn’t big but they punch well above their weight. Today we delivered over 200 boxes of Lego to an agency working with families in crisis and 200 boxes of Lego to our local children’s hospital.

While at the hospital the chaplain saw two patients he knows and gave them a big box of Lego. The smile on the child’s face and also their parent, was absolutely priceless.

Tomorrow, as we do, every Friday we will give away 200 kilos of free fruit and vegetables, free bread and over 500 fresh meals.

Some people look at Australia and think it’s a land of abundance, and it is an amazing place to live, but over 3 million Aussies live below the poverty line.

Being able to make a tangible difference in people’s lives is challenging sometimes, but days like today, remind you why you keep showing up.

Just a lovely picture of my SD snoozin' while I get some work done to brighten your day!

Mack knows when I'm having a really difficult day, which is everyday. He loves hugs, cuddling & smiles like crazy..
Most days I hate my life & what it's become. I miss the old me.
I was supposed to have TILF surgery with revisions to a failed lumbar fusion adding more hardware, rods, bone grafts , 3 more discs & more. It's been cancelled 5 times in under 2 yrs due to so many other health problems/issues. I was finally ready, healthy, had my mindset for it in March. Then Covid19 came along cancelling it again. Last month it was going to happen then I got sick again with bronchitis. I feel as if something is telling me it's not the right time. I'm back to the drawing board. I started at the MS Center & next month we're going to discuss treatment options. But my last brain scans picked up another tumor. It also showed I had another TIA within the past 6 months, I thought it was anxiety attack or a MS hug. Nov 1999 I had a craniotomy to remove a brain tumor. Here I go again. I've been so depressed & anxiety is running wild. My mind isn't in the right place. I don't think I'm going to have the TILF surgery anytime soon or at all. I'm not ready for it. I'll just take my chances. 😒
