I listened to Joni Eareckson Tada say that next year she aims to walk in a closer relationaship with God, to be more rightous and less sinful and thus to please Him. In one of my devotionals it was written about gifting ourselves to God. His Son died that we may have restored fellowship with the Father. Therefore we ought to be the best possible gift to Him that we can.The Queen has professed her faith in a country where Christianity is becoming a swear word. God bless her! TFS!<br />Superb yatch race too I might add!Anne https://www.blogger.com/profile/14291931630009358907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-18167199407988832462012-12-29T06:49:10.225+11:002012-12-29T06:49:10.225+11:00A lovely post Shaz .

The Carol was one of my favorites when I was younger and in the Church choir. I particulary likied the way she stressed that he came to be serve and not to be served.<br />But I did not intend to check my blog but to check the flight status from Leeds/Bradford Airport but due to habit I went on to my Blog dashboard. <br />At the time my Husband was taking my eldest Daughter to the airport for her return flight to Sydney, she didn't want me to go, as she finds it too upsetting, so I have to fret at home. She has been there 6 years and received Residency in August this year and I have noticed over the few weeks she has been here that she now refers to Oz as 'home' which is really a cleft stick as it breaks my heart but I am also so very happy for her that she has got what she wanted. I know that she will really always think of 'our house' as her home but it does twang the heart strings.<br />Thank you for your wonderful post.<br /><br />Kath xKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191315487546041187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-45181778165169637372012-12-28T00:47:51.179+11:002012-12-28T00:47:51.179+11:00May Father God indeed bless our Queen.
