It has been many months since I spoke in this place and The Lord has been merciful in the plan He has for our life.

Love is th only Universal language.

A smile is the best form of trade one can give.

God bless all who are hurting today, either for others or in themselves.

Farewell for now. X X X

Grateful Tuesday hasn't come yet! Not ready for it!

When tomorrow comes I will be alive,
When tomorrow comes there will be peace.
Nothing really matters, but the love we give.
When tomorrow comes I will live!

I'll find my way home...

Free on Tuesday.
My Mum Eva Cross, is very ill. She isn't getting stronger and seems not to want to return from wherever she is off to!
The hardest prayer - Thy will be done!
Lord Have Mercy.
Love you always X X X

Therese of Lisieux... Memory Eternal!

When we pray for someone who comes into our life, it is easier to tell God what we believe is best for that person, especially those who are to be close to us.
The hard part is to say Thy Will Be Done...

Saint Therese of Lisieux seemed to "get her own way" with God every time she requested something of Him. But, what she didn't realise was the cost to her as it was God in her working out His purposes, she was just was the speaker for The Word of God to grant God's mercies and graces as are all those who follow Him. She came home to who she was, and had the grace to know what would fulfill her from an early age. She came to realise the cost of discipleship

Stephen; Welcome Home...
Don't look back during your life on Earth. You have been called to a higher purpose and He has work for you to do... Love and Mercy is the Key to opening the doors you think are fast shut, but as you walk each step of this life you will discover who you are. May you also have the grace to know what will fulfill you from your early age.

Peace be with you and LOVE you always...

Your big sister; Catrina. X X X

Aunt Olga May Steer

When our loved ones who live far away die, the reality doesn't sink in for many weeks, even when the funeral is over and life continues as if they were never there.
It's like a wound that cuts very deep, but, as it heals, the skin knits but the scar is always visible.

This life seems like a dream.

I go about my daily life, and all around the world others' lives are coming to an end.
One day mine will too.
I hope and pray that I may know the reality to which Saint Paul refers: "Then we shall know even as we are known. Now we see as in a distorted mirror, then we shall see clearly and face to face".

Rest in peace, Dear Aunt Olga, with Uncle Jack, Dad, Linda, and Mike's Dad, Malcolm.

Love you FOREVER... We'll meet again... Lord, Have Mercy.

Shifting sands of time

Lord, My boat is so small and the ocean so big; Please keep Your hand on the rudder of life, and grant me safe passage through the storms into the safe harbour of Thy Kingdom. Amen.

When I am challenged by outside forces that threaten the stillness of acceptance of life, what do I do?
Burst into tears... !
I do not know where life is heading but I know that my Redeemer liveth,
and His hand is on the rudder of my life.
I ask it always will be!
And, when I get hold of the rudder and pull it the way I want it to go,
I pray He will use enough force to get my hand off it and allow it to go under His direction alone and in His direction always.

Lord, Have mercy.

Falling Asleep..


That's what my darling Sister did on 13th May 2009.


Linda suffered from Pulmonary Hypertension for 4 years, taking each stage of the disease as a garment to be worn.
She kept the depth of her suffering from us, her family, and if love alone could've saved her she would never have become ill in the first place.


Sis; There will never be a day when I won't miss you.


You're dying was so peaceful and what I'd always prayed it would be; That was the miracle.
During those 4 years you became what I always knew you could be... and this time you didn't want to run away.
If we take anything from your life with us, that's it, you finally accepted what you couldn't change, and lived as fully as life would allow you without struggling to change it to other than what it was.
I console my heart, mind and soul with the knowledge and ever increasing hope that you are with My Dad and yours, and all together with The Heavenly Father; and I will always remember the fun, joy and love you gave each of us.
God keep you in His nearer care until I see ya later;
Loveyalots, and forever. Catrina X X X
