Rubrieke
Klitsie weet nie mooi wat om van die tannie te maak wat so staan en moan oor my op facebook nie Klitsie begin wonder hoekom die so hard probeer om die rubriek gestop te kry Liewe tannie, klitsie gesels nou met jou Jy skep die idee dat ek loop moeilikheid soek as ek so oor die doen en late van dit wat in ons gemeenskap gebeur skryf. Ek weet dit pla jou want ek weet jy weet dat ek al meer as een keer oor jou loop staan skryf het Ek het nie gejok oor wat ek skryf nie want jy was die sondebokkie gewees Ongelukkig was ek een van die gaste wat op jou stoep gestaan het toe jy so vrylik loop klippies druk het in jou eens beste maatjie se bande En Klitsie is nie so seker jy praat die waarheid as jy sê jy lees nie Klitsgras nie En daar gons die dorp oor die fight (of was dit nou 'n attempted robbery?) gewees wat sommer so helder oordag by 'n bekende winkel in die dorp uitbreek Klitsie verstaan dat 'n paar vieslike houe uitgedeel is En dit oor of met of deur 'n visstok? Hoekom weet Klitsie nie maar wat ek wel weet is dat daar nooit 'n dull moment in die dorpie van ons is nie! Sê jou sê oor die week se Klitsgras WhatsApp jou kommentaar na 060 405 8979

Ek het eergistermiddag hierdie reënboog afgeneem buite my huis Maar kom ek noem net vir jou dat hierdie foto op GEEN manier diegrootsheidvanhierdieoomblikkanvasvat nie Omdat ek die foto op 'n wye hoek moes neem om alles in te kry, lyk dit of die reënboog baie ver weg is, terwyl dit gevoel hetofek'nhanetreevandiepotgoudgestaan het. Dit het werklik my asem totaal weggeslaan en ek kon nie ophou kyk daarna nie My eerste gedagte was: Hoe groot is U Here, om hierdie onbeskryflike skoonheid vir diemenstewys!Ditvoelofmensopjouknieë wil neerval en met jou hande in die lug die Hereaanbid. Sommerindieheel eersteboek van die Bybel lees ons van die reënboog ná diesondvloed,waarGodbelowedatHynooit weer die hele aarde sal oorstroom met reën nie "Toe het God gesê: Dit is die teken van die verbond tussen My en julle en die wilde diere by julle, 'n verbond wat vir alle toekomstige geslagte geld: my reënboog het Ekindiewolkegeplaas.Ditsaldietekenwees vandieverbondtussenMyendieaarde." (Gen. 9:12 13) Dink nou net vir 'n oomblik aan diedagtoe dieeerste mense'n reënboog gesien het Hulle het niks geweet van wetenskap en van ligbreking deur waterdruppels nie Hoe verstom moes hulle nie wees nie! Vandag ken ons die wetenskap agter 'n reënboog, maar toe ek hierdie dubbele reënboog sien, was dit vir my veel eerder 'n teken van God se grootheid en sy almag. Die mens kan geensins 'n reënboog in die lug plaas nie, net God kan dit doen Maar saam met dit het hierdie teken my opnuut herinnerdatGodsybelofteshou,tenalletye! Enwatmeeris,sybelofteis'nbevestigingdat sy genade SO groot is, en sy liefde vir ons so groot is, dat Hy ons nie weer so sal vernietig nie. Sy genade en liefde is eenvoudig net té groot! Ekhetaansopaarpuntegedink:
*Hyis'ngenadigeGod
*Hyhousybeloftes
*Hygeenonselkedagnog'nkans
* Hy kan die mees indrukwekkende kunswerkemetsyhandeskep,sodatdiemens ditkanbewonder.
* Hy laat toe dat die mens Hom ook deur wetenskapkanleerken.
*HyisdieGodvanwonders.
