"Thank you Lord for all the wonderful blessings in my life, thank you for my friends, my lovely family, my incredible husband and my Angel of a daughter. Thank you most of all for loving us all so abundantly, thank you for always being our safe haven, thank you for always carrying us when we don't have the strenght to carry ourselves. Please protect everyone going away this festive season and bring them all safely to their destination and back. We love you and are blessed to be able to call you our Father! Amen"

A time to be greatful....

This week has been a bit emotional for me. For a lot of reasons, but last night watching Christmas Wish list on M.net and this morning going on facebook and getting a message in my Inbox from little Dante Vorsters Grandmother, made me forget about all my silly little hang-ups and "issues".

Dante Vorster was born in January 2009 and he has a very rear disease called: Werdnig Hoffman Disease
At this moment he is an urgent need for a Bi-Pap machine that he needs to be able to breathe while he sleeps. The one he is currently using was borrowed to him and he has to give it back on the 5th of December 2009, without this machine Dante can not live. The machine's cost is R54 000.

They really don't have the money, the medical costs that they have had with little Dante is so much, and they really don't have R54 000!
Everyone on the Dante's group on facebook Klein Dantè se Lewensverhaal "Een dag op 'n slag" have sent e-mails to 94.7 Christmas Wish list, and we pray to our wonderful Lord to please help Dante and his family, by some miracle send them the finances or a person to help, for them to be able to get this machine for Dante! I trust with all my heart that our Jesus will help them, whether it is through 94.7 or through another way, but He will provide, because He is a Loving, Caring God who we can depend on. IN GOD WE WILL TRUST!

I also ask everyone reading this, to pray for Dante and his Mom and his Dad, his wonderful Granny that is doing everything in her power to save her "Prince" as she calls him.

His banking details are:
Dante Vorster, Standard Bank
Barkly west-
Branch Code: 050202
Account nr. 144609029

Anything will help, it doesn’t matter how small, alot of smalls can make a BIG difference!!!!


To Dante and his family: "Although I don’t know you personally and only read about you on facebook, I will do everything I can to help you, I will spread your news where ever I go and ask for people to pray for Dante and for those who can help you to help you. We have a wonderful Father up in Heaven and through Him we meet wonderful people who will help, I believe that with all my heart! We are thinking of you and you are in our prayers everyday!"

"Dear Lord Jesus, we come to you today and we pray for you to please help Dante find a machine, please help him to become strong and have a healthy life with his family! Lord help his Mom and Dad and all his family to turn to You and to know that Dante is fully in Your hands and that You are protecting him and You are carrying him always and forever. We trust in You and we know that You will provide as always. Amen"

Lets all be greatful for health, happiness, food, clothes, family, friends, jobs and the privileged to know our Father in Heaven!
For today I am greatful for all the above but I am especially greatful for a healthy Child, which is a gift every day!

Gebed

In die Naam van Jesus, dankie vir hierdie dag.
Dankie dat ek kan sien, dankie dat ek kan hoor.

Ek is só geseënd omdat U vergewe en verstaan.
U het reeds so baie vir my gedoen en nog steeds seën U my.

Vergewe my in hierdie dag,
want ek het alweer gesondig.
Bewaar my van gevaar en seerkry.
Maak my positief en vol begrip en deernis

Help my om in hierdie dag my beste te gee
Open my ore, sodat ek U stem kan hoor,
Open my oë, sodat ek U werke kan sien
en maak my gehoorsaam aan U Woord

Leer my om my besig te hou met dit wat ek
kan verander en die res aan U oor te laat

Leer my om sonde deur U oë te sien
en dit nét so te haat
en dadelik te belyen so vergifnis van U te ontvang.

En wanneer die wêreld my druk, dat ek sal onthou om soos Jesus te maak -
om ‘n stil plekkie te soek om U raad te vra -
veral as ek voel ek het nie meer raad nie.


Ek weet - wanneer ek té ontsteld is om te bid, luister U na my gees en U antwoord.
Hou vol om U wil te doen, nie myne nie.
Hou vol om my te seën,
sodat ek ander tot seën kan wees.
Laat my U Woord onthou,
sodat ek dit aan ander kan uitdeel.

Ek bid vir dié wat verlore is
en U nie kan vind nie.
Ek bid vir hulle wat nie glo nie

Maar ek glo.
Ek glo dat God mense verander,
Ek glo dat God omstandighede verander.
Ek bid vir U en my broers en susters
in die Naam van Jesus.

Amen

To Jade with all my love

When times seem too hard to bear & I l feel like giving up
I vision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes and things of such
The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born
Is a mother and daughter bind that can never be torn
With the strength and guidance of God and the blessings he pours down from above
I want to be the best mom I can be to you and embrace you with all my love
You are as precious as a flower and as gorgeous as a rose
You have been specially made to the very tip of your nose
You are as sweet as honey; such an innocent young child
You are brighter than any star in the sky every time you smile
I want you to be proud of who you are and strive to be the best
Put forth your efforts to achieve your goals and let God do the rest
I will always be your mother first, but I'm also your friend
Your are the most precious gift, that I've ever been given!

Love you always,

Mamma

Our Angel's first birthday!! 25 October 2009

Happy Birthday beautiful Jade! May your life be filled with love and happiness! May you always be close to God and feel His presence in your life! May you always remember how loved you are by all your family and friends! We wish you just the best in life, because you were the greatest gift ever to be received! Love you my Angel!!! Dadda & Mamma

Her birthday was so special...both parties! The one with her friends was great, she had so much fun, she is so small and she doesn't know what a birthday is, but she definately knew the day was about her! It was so cute! She had a big Winnie the Pooh icecream cake and after we sang to her the cake was all hers, the photo's will tell you how much she enjoyed that! lol Thank you for everyone who came to the party, you all very close to our hearts!
Sunday on her birthday, the family got together for a braai to celebrate her 1st birthday, its so heartwarming to see the love that everyone has for her!
But lets face it, she really is one special girl! :-)

We want to thank God on this special day for blessing us with an Angel like Jade! Thank you for the message you brought through her, thank you for choosing us to be apart of her life! Please protect and guide her all the days of her life! Help her to make the right decisions, help her to find happiness in every situation! Please God always keep her safe in the palm of your hand! We love You and we are truly greatful for Jade Catherine Alexander!!! Amen

Here is some cute things about Jade....

She can say the following words: Jade, Mamma, Dadda, Pa (thats Grandpa), Ouma, Oupa, Lisha (thats for Melissa), Jay (for Jason),Bian (for Brian), Kita (for nikita), UIT (when she shouts and the dogs to go outside), Pop (popcorn), Doedoe, Baba, Tata, AB (she is trying to say ABC), O O (when she does something wrong), Nee!!!, Dankie, Bye (specially when you talk on the phone and you say bye) I hope I didnt leave anything out! :-) She pretty much tries and say everything you say! It's so cute.

She also claps hands, and she takes the blanket and pulls it over her face to play "where's Jade...there she is" ! She waves when she sees a car. When you take the car keys she says Tata. She dances whenever she hears music or sees a cellphone, because she knows they also have music! She points out to what she wants! When you laugh then she give a fake laugh, its really funny! She shows with her hands when something is gone or "weg"! She crawls all over the place and really fast too! She pulls herself up against almost everything to stand and then she walks around holding on to everything! :-) She can point out where your nose and eyes and mouth are! She makes her baba doedoe! Again, there are so many things and I am sure Im leaving stuff out, but if I have to mention everything, you will have to put a few hours aside to read!
But most off all, she warms everyone's heart that meets her, its just amazing!

We want to thank everyone who is apart of Jade's life and that love her so much! She is truly a blessed and rich girl with all the love and support she gets from all of you!

Hope you all enjoyed the photo's!

Love always,
Will,Tash & Jade
