Give it up for June!

Since this month is nearly over, I thought I'd share some of God's goodness that has happened to us.

We have been under some financial pressure for the last 6 months, buying a home at the beginning of the year tends to help in that department. But a lesson for us all to remember is that God blesses obedience, especially in the area of tithing and giving.

So things have been a little tight lately, with our car having a service, and some of those unsuspecting bills coming in the mail. But this month we decided to tithe none-the-less (what a funny word), and give in a couple of different ways.

God has blessed us in a few sneaky God-like ways.

I have been out with a couple of girl friends and both times they have shouted me coffee and yummies!

We got given a forgotten reimbursement check for nearly $80 from the school that Tim works at.

I have been summoned for jury service - and they pay you for each day you attend!

He's also blessed us in other personal ways not regarding money because He can.

So yes, give it up for June! And give it up for Jesus, be obedient to what He asks you to give, and watch and see what He does.

Ode to Kiwifruit

Right now if I was a ferry - this would be me:

There once was a girl named Neen

Who drove out to Poroti

In a packhouse she stayed

Counting kiwifruit all day

I'm surprsied her sanity she did keep

Kiwifruit round, brown and furry

Made Neen's eyes very itchy and blurry

But on Friday at last

The season did pass

And she's back to live life in a hurry

Neen learnt many things on her journey

Like plixes, OB mites and staff fury

But coffees and cake

More cheery things did make

And she's sure to miss her new mates

Goodbye little haywards so fluffy and brown

I will not miss you nor wear a frown

Instead I will sleep

Hopefully counting sheep

And dreaming no more of getting up at the crack of down (dawn)

PEACE OUT!!!
