Thinking of Ray and his teachings
Roy Martin:
You ladies never seize to amaze me with your replies on this forum. All of you are so gifted with love and compassion and kind words to everyone. Ive read some of your hardships and you still continue to shine with Gods presence. I'm thankful for all of you. Im thankful for Ray and his teachings and this forum.
I havent had much time lately to post or read much. Its the time of year for landscaping and Ive been studying for my irrigation exam that is extremely tuff.
God bless
Roy
Ninny:
Irrigation exam?? Do you have to do that to renew your landscaping license? Ewwww! I hate tests!!
Kathy ;)
Roy Martin:
Kathy a license isnt required for landscaping but is for irrigation. Its all formulas and algebra.

Ninny:

Hi my BT-matriachs [Judy,Claudia,Marlene,Gmik ;)] and Roy,
I flew back from Fiji after delivering LoF series (stapled and bounded in coconut-woven basket) to my dear-mum. No, we didn't get to discuss any of Ray's writings. The first 5 days was spent with extended family reunion from Aust, NZ, Canada. It struck me that perhaps it was meant to be so that when home is cleared and quiet [of all visitors] than and only can the H/Spirit do its work in mum.
It was hectic but the last 3 days was spent cleaning mum's windows and tidying up outside. The nights were certainly long...how i miss the hot teas and scones till 3am with mum and 2 aunts.....all reminiscing their good old days. I am amazed that these women have been through the 'school of hard knocks' :o and survived. DUring the sharing, i can certainly see how an aunt (Aust) still cannot see the 'BEAST' in her...has grown more stubborn with age and only God can mellow her...her 3 husbands gave up ;). She had all the money but no lasting happiness.
I am proud that my mum (and us) had a stable growing up environment...with just enough money to get by but we were happy. The other Australian aunt's story was romantic.....very humble beginnings in Fiji, abandoned by single-mother (1940s), nursed her grandparents till death than worked in an tourist-resort while in her 30s as house-cleaner. There, she met and married a retired Australian achitech...owned 2 homes, private boat, and 3 cars. Now she is living well...yet still humble. She hasn't forgotten from where she came from.
Was it King David who said 'the heart is deceitfully wickard'? I have come away having learnt much of women and life's many challenges. Only confirms for me that i NEED God...for without Him, i can do nothing.
I'm hope to go home for a longer break this December with my son. Perhaps will get to discuss Ray's writing with mum..should be interesting indeed.
Roy....good luck with irrigation exam ;D....looks like the ladies here and i don't have the affinity for anything remotely-maths :o.
May Ray's teachings [& H/Spirit] continue to inspire and lead others to God's TRUTH,
Ocean
