Devotionals
It seems this time of year is going to be filled with some painful reminders. Late April 2015 was the last time I got to spend a holiday with my Gran-Babe Smith and we all miss her so dearly. May 2016 was the final month I had with my beloved Honey-Bear. My “year of grief” has been a painful and lonely time. Although I can for the most part hold back the tears now, the pain is till very real. Missing someone we've lost is always so very difficult.
But.... Freedom day in South Africa, reminds us of a joyous celebration, because it was for the very first time in 1994 that all citizens of our beautiful country were able to cast their vote in a free and fair election and not a single one of us who voted that year will ever forget it. For the first time in the history of our nation a vote had to be run over 2 days because everyone, yes absolutely everyone wanted to make their voice heard.
Now 23 years later we are back at the same precipice. We are standing on the edge of a time period in our country's history that will once again make history and a time never to be forgotten, because it is now that we are once again fighting for our freedom. Not the right to vote in a free country but a right to live in a country governed by......at least.... principled people who will not fall prey to corruption. This freedom that we are fighting is bringing our nation together in ways never seen before.
Only a few short days ago Angus Buchan lead a church service as never before seen. Approximately 1.7 million South African's arrived just outside Bloemfontein to do the one thing we all know is so needed right now, to pray! And pray they did and I know, that I know, that I know God has heard them! We will see the tides of change and the power of God sweep across our nation once again........
Hold onto your seat.....it is coming!
