@DownMoreThanUp @heartathome @Realness @tyme @Appleblossom I hope you all have a pleasant evening and rest of the week. We have a cool, well cooler day tomorrow of 35 which will be a nice change. My poor garden has been wilting and I've been watering daily for the past week. 

Does anyone have plans for Australia Day?

I will be spending the day with my mum and brother, indulging in lamb, pavlova and anything else Australian we can think of!

I hope you all have a pleasant evening and rest of the week.  You too @ENKELI !  

😳 Parts of Australia have really suffered a long heat wave. Anything above 32 is hot for me but I'm blessed to have a sea breeze with it. I hope you get some relief soon! 

I don't have any plans for Australia day at the moment. I stand with many Aboriginal people on that day. The get together with your mum and brother sounds great. What about a lamington? I love pavlova! 💚

I'm so glad that you're doing so well @DownMoreThanUp ! No more alters is an amazing piece of God's work! I'm so pleased for you! It sounds like a miracle to me with a lot of hard work from you! 

The walks around you look beautiful!

I hope you have a good day Downmorethanup filled with many blessings for you and your family! 💜

[AuntGlow]

Of course. And you are allowed to take time to process and grieve the loss of your father @ENKELI, this is no small thing. Please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know what you are needing - we are all here for you. 

What do you have planned for yourself this week? 🥰

@DownMoreThanUp you're right not going to complaints, for me it has rarely had the desired outcome.

I respect most of the peer support workers, guides and moderators but I feel very rejected and worthless at times because my concerns go unheard. Note, this is my perception only and not an indictment of the Sane rules. I say this so that I won't get my posts deleted again.

Your picture reminds me of a Peter Furler song, Greater is He. Pete Furler is the original lead singer of Newsboys (Sia is his cousin, a little trivia for the day 😁)

Question about your pic - do you have photos of Christ on the cross aside from this one? I was brought up Presbyterian and am now Pentacostal and we don't have crosses depicting Christ as He is no longer on the cross, but resurrected.

I am genuinely interested in what everyone thinks about, I have been getting more out of this thread than my offline attempts at Bible study of late and appreciate my Sane Christian family

@DownMoreThanUp I NEVER mind when you reply my darling brother!

These days I rarely rage at Jesus, though like you I used to! Then He reminded me that I was only hurting myself dwelling on the hurts as the people who have hurt me don't care one iota how they've made me feel. If they did they wouldn't have caused me pain and upset.

I didn't sleep much last night and around 3.30 I put the Good channel on my laptop to listen to. God in His infinite wisdom and mercy put a recorded service from Joseph Prince on and it spoke directly to me about how I was feeling and struggling with forgiveness. I can't remember the exact part of the sermon but I managed to get a copy of it so I can listen to it again when I am not so tired.

I kinda think that by you wishing that God's forgiving love floods me did exactly that. I thank you for being a wonderful vessel for Him, it is so very much appreciated.

Afterward I fell asleep and although it wasn't a great sleep it was enough to get me up and about for morning chores.

I am going to have a lie down soon and re-listen to Joseph Prince.

I hope your day improves and your struggle is less. Your name came to me while I was praying both last night and this morning (along with everyone else in this thread   @AuntGlow @heartathome @Realness @Appleblossom @tyme)

I pray Thursday is a good day for you my dear friends xoxo

@heartathome I have relatives in Geraldton and it got to 47 on Tuesday. Given it is a coastal town I was blown away! 
I'm with you, anything above 32 is too hot lol!

Much respect for your stance on Australia Day. 
I think mum is making jelly cakes which are like lamingtons except they are dipped in jelly instead of cocoa, then rolled in coconut. We do a lot of retro foods, it brings back fond memories of my childhood.

@AuntGlow I have not much planned for the week, I have 3 units of study to complete.

The subject is "Support personal wellbeing in the workplace" and it takes place in a fantasy land where people respect each other and listen to their concerns. There aren't a lot of real life scenarios in the course, conflict is resolved with everyone happy and ready for the next challenge.

I have no idea what it has to do with records and information management and in fact the first three months have nothing to do with records and info management. I guess they need stocking stuffer to pad out the course.

Gosh I am negative today! I am so sorry about that, lack of sleep and the heat has turned me cranky.

I hope your rest of week goes well for you xoxo
