“Without suffering, there'd be no
compassion.” ― Nicholas Sparks
Numbers 23:19
“God is not man,
that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he
said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?”
John 4:13-14
“Jesus said to her,
“Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of
the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I
will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Hier is 'n gedig wat my lewe aangeraak het... Ek dink dis iets wat elkeen van ons moet
onthou, en toepas in ons lewens... Dis
'n gedig wat 'n vrou vir 'n man geskryf het, terwyl hy in die Vietnamiese
oorlog geveg het... Enjoy :)
But you
didn't... by Merrill Glass
Remember the day I
borrowed your brand
new car and dented
it?
I thought you'd
kill me, but you didn't…
And remember the
time I dragged you to the beach,
and you said it
would rain, and it did?
I thought you'd
say, "I told you so." But you didn't.
Do you remember the
time I flirted with all
the guys to make
you jealous, and you were?
I thought you'd
leave, but you didn't.
Do you remember the
time I spilled strawberry pie
all over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit
me, but you didn't.
And remember the
time I forgot to tell you the dance
was formal and you
showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd
drop me, but you didn't.
Yes, there were
lots of things you didn't do.
But you put up with
me, and loved me, and protected me.
There were lots of
things I wanted to make up to you
when you returned
from Vietnam.
But you didn't.

Ons dink altyd - ja...
daar is nog baaaaiee tyd om die sonsondergang te loop kyk, of om saam
met vriende te eet, of om vir daardie persoon te sê dat ons hulle
liefhet... Of om jammer te sê vir dit
wat ek gedoen, of nie gedoen het nie...
Ons is almal hier op geleende tyd...
Elkeen se tyd is uitgestippel soos 'n tydlyn, en alhoewel ons weet wat
die begin datum van daardie lyn was, weet nie een van ons wanneer die einde van
ons tydlyn gaan aanbreek nie...
Die belangrikste is om dit wat ons wil sê en doen - soos
die meisie in hierdie gedig, NOU te doen...
Moenie wag vir die "perfekte"geleentheid nie, want dit is BAIE
SELDE dat daar wel so iets is...
"SEIZE the day"... Dis
ook baie maklik om hierdie te lees, en dan te dink - sjoe ja, ek moet sorg dat
ek voluit leef, en voluit gaan vir dinge...
Maar sodra die dag dan weer aan die gang kom, vergeet ek van hierdie, en
jaag ek sommer net aan waar ek gister opgehou het... MAAK tyd...
Print hierdie gediggie vir jou uit, en plak dit op waar jy dit elke dag
kan sien... Dat dit vir jou 'n
herinnering kan wees om in die HIER EN NOU te leef... Elke sekonde :) VOLUIT vir Jesus... En ook, om NOOIT SPYT te wees oor dit wat ek
NIE gedoen het nie... Waag 'n kans - al
moet jy 'n fout maak... As jy nie
probeer nie, sal jy nooit weet waartoe jy saam met Jesus in staat is nie… Jy is tot ALLES in staat deur Hom wat jou die
krag gee (Fillipense 4:13)…
blessings!
