A fruitful vine

I have been meditating on this word that God gave me two years ago. At the time i thought it a wonderful "cosy and fuzzy" word. Never realising how true it will turn out to be. It says in Psalm 128 says Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house. When i handed Jaco a cheque of $800 yesterday for work I did, I realized i am fruitful. Not that i measure stuff in monetary value. But the only way I am contributing to our household is in emotional and physical care, not monetary. So, it's a JOY and a BLESSING to be able to do so once in a while. And all the time i am doing what i LOVE, what makes the innermost part of me happy. I am not stressed out. It's not a sacrifice. It's only a blessing to me. I *HEART* scrapbooking. The next part of that same verse is a story for another day!

While I was driving the kids around yesterday Delirious? was playing and this one song - every little thing- just totally hit home. The words say:
When it’s all falling down on you
You’re crying out but you’re breaking in two
When it’s all crashing down on you
When there’s nothing you can do
There is someone who can carry you
Every little thing’s gonna be alright
Every little thing’s gonna be alright

so, if you are stressing, worried, anxious or upset know this: every little thing is gonna be alright. Go and buy this song on iTunes. Just do it. We all need this affirmation sometimes.

Oh, and as I am saying goodbye, do you see the HEART? yea, it's part of the surprise. I am excited for all who have registered. If you have any problems registering, email me. Is there ANYONE out there who would be willing to help me out by doing my valentine class project to "test" it? I will email you the instructions and all. But i just want someone to do it before the class opens so that if there is anything i forgot/did not explain etc, it can be righted before the class officially starts. I will send the person willing to do this a RAK!! Leave me a comment and if there is more than one, i will draw a number. speaking of numbers, i have not forgotten about last Friday's post. the thing is, i am looking for something really cute to RAK! Soon... soon.

I hope this post
comforted, encouraged, and did your heart only good.
Love and a kiss
Wilna

Hi Wilna

Loved the fruitful vine verse. Never underestimate the value of the emotional fruit you contribute to your family it is priceless. And then of course the fruits of your creativity and your testimony on your blog nourishes many near and far. I will be honored to "test" your class.

Hi Wilna ... so funny ... God gave me fruitful vine verse this week (for an entirely different reason). I'm meditating on it because we are believing to have another baby. I never actually thought about that verse from your angle. God is so good!

PS I would love to take your test class =)

Thanks Wilna. Those words are once again just what I needed to hear this morning. Been feeling a bit down lately, but feeling much better after those words of encouragement. I would be honoured to test out your class.

Love
