With Christmas soon coming I was thinking about gingerbread men! When I was at primary school, gingerbread men were sold at the canteen and they were very popular! Ginger has such a strong aroma! Mum and I never made gingerbread men BUT we used to make a lovely ginger slice! I don’t know now what the recipe is but i can remember that it was so very  gingery and lots of fun to make and bake!Gingerbread men are very cute! They are always the same shape, although their faces differ from one gingerbread man to another! 

   Gingerbread men are a bit  just  like us! We are all the same in that underneath we all feel happy, sad, have pain, get tired, have times of joy. And everyone has cried in their life. And the main thing that we all have the same is that we all want to be loved just for being us. It is so very special that our loving Lord very much loves us just as we are. He created us...and loves His creations! 

      I saw these pictures of Noah’s Ark the other day, and thought that they looked very cute! I also wanted to share them with you to make you all smile also! Our Loving Lord is with us through all the stormy times of life. We are sheltered in His care and His love as we trust Him. His love is a million times more precious and more beautiful than even the most  beautiful coloured rainbow! And His love shines through the sunshine and rain ❤️

      Mum got Dad to buy me some special “ silly socks” from McDonalds last week! They are being sold to complement with McHappy Day when money from all the Big  Macs sold that day are used to help run the Ronald McDonald Homes where families can stay near the hospitals when their sick kids are having treatment. The money raised through the sales of the socks also go to the Ronald McDonald Homes. The socks are very cute! They have Big Macs and French fries on them!     

         Socks and stockings keep our legs warm. In the way, the love of our Loving Lord, and our family keeps our inside heart and spirit warm! Even if the weather is cold outside, as we rest in His love and know that He cares about how we are feeling, love full of warmth can help us as we go through times of pain ❤️

 The Melbourne Cup is often called : “The race that stops the Nation”!! People all over Australia stop what they are doing for the few minutes that the race is on, to see what horse wins! May we in the same way each day “stop” and think of our  many blessings, and give thanks for the loving care of our Loving Lord Who loves us and sends sunshine, rain, clouds, blue skies and very majestical thunder and lightning! He created the seasons and has made  different things to happen in every season!
