IDENTITY



When I began to write this post,

I wanted to begin with a definition or explanation of what identity means. 

Then I decided that we all know that identity means, Who you are?

That got me thinking... Do we really know who we are? 

If I asked you who you are, you would most probable respond with your Name, hesitate a few seconds, then start rambling of some attributes launched by descriptive Words.

a Year ago, I met a new friend, who came over for coffee and out of the blue, she asked:"Sune, who are you?"

To be honest the question rattled my cage and I got thinking about it.

First, I thought about my names and attributes as I mentioned a few lines back. e.g.(Sune, loves people, is a wife, warm person, strong etc.

I realised that all my self descriptions and attributes, others have voiced about me, could change, except for where I originated from.

I was born into a certain family. So, I would always be of that clan and bare their attributes. Yes, I could change my name if I chose.

But that would not change who I originated from.
 
So, I am a spirit being, created by God, in His image and because He made me, nothing can change  who I am in Him.

It's a mouth full I know! All I ask is that when you look at yourself in the mirror. Ask the question; Who made me? I promise you'll find who you are.

This song describes what I'm trying to say. Relax and listen to the words.  Then ask yourself this question: "Who am I?"Or rather, Who made me?"

God's Greatness In A Song





I discovered Lauren Daigle's Music through my teenage daughter.
 
The warm huskiness in her voice gives me goosebumps! She sings with passion and feeling.
 
The song I chose is a golden oldie in the gospel world, but still such a accurate description of God the Almighty Creator! 
 
Dad loved this songs lyrics. A true  reflection of how he lived his life with God.  Constantly in awe about creation and the fact that the Almighty God chose humans to relate with. 
 
Dad went to be with God in 2017 and I know that he is singing God's Praises with this song.
 
Leave a comment and let me know what this song means to you.
 
Till later.

Plain And Simple Perfection

I was reminded this weekend, that plain and simple, is perfection.

As I told you,

 I live in sunny South Africa and winter is slowly but surely bidding us goodbye.


In front of me, my favourite focal point . A big old olive tree. Looking on to a ice blue pool.

Observing the Finches creatively weaving their new nest for hatch lings  on their way.  Relaxing.

For Lunch we  had a "Boerewors braai".  For those of you don't know,  It is a kind of sausage, cooked on an open fire.  Accompanied with fresh baked rolls and avocado!

Simple food, nature and awesome company

What more do we need from life!
