My Zina, Our Beloved. (Revisited Again)

My Zina, Our Beloved.

 (Revisited again )

 

Celebrate- even in tears and joy- with so many others and me the love, life, and loveliness of Z, My Wife! Having entered--- in the Eternal triumph of the Lord, her God and Saviour, Jesus into Heaven. 

Tears, sorrow and sunshine and joy are the bread and life of her humanity but all is swallowed up in victory to Eternal Life.

May All who loved My Zina be comforted and supported by the Grace, Mercy and Love of the Father who dwells in Heaven forever.

 

Join in the chorus of thanks for her rescue and the tremendous work behind the events you may never really hear of. Some of you have played a  vital and substantial role in the comfort, experience and life of my Zina throughout the course of her life journey.

 

Some spoke simple words of avowed friendship, in the light of transforming love and eventual spreading of the same for her Lord and Saviour, we all enjoyed. Many of you became precious companions throughout the reality of her life on this small planet. Some smiled, some frowned and some looked around, all lived in the glow of her love. Zina thought of and prayed for many in the wee small hours of sleeplessness, emotional anguish and terrific pain.

 

When despair settled upon Z's classic smile, many rescued her and wove a garment of assistance. With true love, they lifted her with their words and deeds. Many prayed and their love buoyed her above the flood waters. She rallied, dependent upon her Lord, and soon enough, she found equilibrium.

 

Peace within, while the world rages, though short-lived and very slim. Pain and terror where lies and error survive. Law of love or rule of state, waiting for the seventh estate. When ties evaporate, the courts of heaven sue. Presence felt there, the people declare, Faith must, when sorrows multiply, in God we should trust.

.

 You and I soon learned that failing often comes with surprise and God has achieved his purpose. Beautiful is her name, valiant is her suit, love is her frame. Never shall she wander lame. Listen carefully, Jesus said, tour Heaven with the Book when on earth.

 

Amen and So be it.

Written by my poor love but in the cosmos of His.

 

One small Planet, One small Country

 

Update Middle East.

There has been much speculation amongst the Western and Eastern world these past two days.

Even well before the October 7 Massacre. Most people who are interested in Middle Eastern affairs or Middle East Conflict are wondering.

 

Iran waits tensely for repercussions for the largest   Missile strike in the Middle East since the Iraq War and Saddam Hussein. Iran even boasts that it employed A Hypersonic missile(s) in the direct massive military barrage against Israel.

 So where is the questing or questions leading?

 In the USA, there is very much pushback against President Biden and VP Harris's Administration for comments that Israel should respond harshly but don't touch the Underground Nuclear facilities. That's a no-go, according to President Biden's off-the-cuff comment, and it even seems that the United Alliance (otherwise known as the NATO?) thinks the same way. At the very least, that is what President Biden seemed to intimate.

Of course, this war ( it is now if it wasn't before ) has demonstrated to Iran, Israel, and the US that war games during Peace times work.

 

What God Expects ( What?)

 

 

 What God Expects…

 

bible reading: Ephesians 6:1–4

  key bible verse: And now a word to you fathers. Don’t make your children angry by                      the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction                             approved by the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4)

God expects parents to be patient with their children.

 If our faith in Christ is real, it will usually prove itself at home, in our relationships with those who know us best. Children and parents have a responsibility to each other. Children should honor their parents even if the parents are demanding and unfair. Parents should care gently for their children, even if the children are disobedient and unpleasant. Ideally, of course, Christian parents and children will relate to each other with thoughtfulness and love. This will happen if both parents and children put the others’ interests above their own—that is, if they submit to one another.

The purpose of parental discipline is to help children grow, not to exasperate and provoke them to anger or discouragement (see also Colossians 3:21). Parenting is not easy—it takes lots of patience to raise children in a loving, Christ-honoring manner. But frustration and anger should not be causes for discipline. Instead, parents should act in love, treating their children as Jesus treats the people he loves. This is vital to children’s development and to their understanding of what Christ is like.

 What does God expect from children?

 bible reading:   Exodus 20:1–12

  key bible verse: Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the  land the Lord your God will give you. (Exodus 20:12)

Children are to honor their parents. This is the first commandment with a promise attached. To live in peace for generations in the Promised Land, the Israelites would need to respect authority and build strong families. But what does it mean to “honor” parents? Partly, it means speaking well of them and politely to them. It also means acting in a way that shows them courtesy and respect (but not to obey them if this means disobedience to God). It means following their teaching and example of putting God first. Parents have a special place in God’s sight. Even those who find it difficult to get along with their parents are still commanded to honor them^[1]

Revised Iran - Israel Escalation News

 

 Revised News (with an opinion piece.)

Iran launches waves of Ballistic Missiles at Israel.

Iran had fired more than 190 Ballistic missiles at Israel.

 

The Iron Dome and Arrow 3 missile system destroyed most with the United States assisting with US Naval Assets in the region and with more support from Jordan. Many intercepted missiles fell into the Mediterranean Sea. Air Defence of Israel worked extremely well! Former President Trump has more than hinted in his election platform that America could well  deploy and employ  such as system as the Israeli Iron Dome.

 

Gunmen overnight carried out terror attacks at a cafe and restaurants.  It's believed that 8 persons were killed. Several others wounded.

IDF vowing that they will consider the appropriate response for Iran's massive missile launch. Attacking their underground Nuclear facilities and other high -value targets such as their Oil Refineries. It should be noted that recent reports have indicated that Iran were only weeks away from a small arsenal or potential batch of weapons- grade Uranium.Iran has the ballistic missile capability with the nuclear warhead to attach if they possess  the required  fissionable material?

Opinion:

USA reiterated, via Pentagon Spokesperson,  that Israel has the right to defend itself. USA and its partners ( but will allow US partners to speak for themselves) will support Israel in this event and come what may. However USA and its allies do not wish to see a broadening regional conflict.The pressure on Israel to counterattack without an overkill measure is mounting. Israel will take appropriate action as is its right, IDF declares.

Prime Minister Netanyahu in recent speech at United Nations declared that Israel would defend its existence and repeated his thematic statement that Israel is fighting for the future of the Western World not just for itself. An attack on Israel is an attack on Western Civilisation.

Prayer for Z.

 

 

Prayer for Z  when God is Near

Dear God, 

Thank you for being here and for the knowledge that we can trust you. We are feeling weak and are weak. You are strong. Grant us total trust in your loving will. Bring peace and understanding into this situation for all.

We pray for Z to be healed, to be made strong again. We desire to see her up and around again, full of life and love. We want to see her family and all of her friends rejoicing around her. Relieved and grateful to you for her full recovery.

More importantly we ask for your will to be done. Your will is perfect. Your ways are perfect. We trust you.

As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. We have fears, but we place our trust in you. Help us to know that as we walk through this time we are not alone.

We pray in the name of Jesus asking for your strength. Amen and Amen.

Dear Visitor,

If you might add your prayer and thought to mine please do so. For my wife who is suffering.  Thanks.

 

 

United Nation's Unfair Bellows- reshaped.

 

The disgraced United Nations has passed more than 170 resolutions against Israel, which is more than the Rest of the World's combined tally of 75 resolutions in the past decade.

 

This assault by forces of darkness should not be swept away and ignored by the dubious core of good-into-evil-values elementary groups within some Western Societies.

 This state of affairs is internationally known and is exacerbating an unfair situation in the Middle East.  A David versus the Hydra war increasingly fought against seven writhing arms of terrorist fronts.

 

IDF strikes dead two viciously deadly individual arm- -controllers leading the Iranian-backed terrorist attacks on the tiny state of Israel. Iran is guilty of failing to protect Lebanon’s most vulnerable citizens because of its mindlessly appalling hatred for Israel and Iran considers it too bad for the starving masses whose lives are ruined by getting in their way. 

 

Provocative and deadly Iranian policy-makers slay -all -to provoke Israel and consequently, many of the innocent perish as an unwelcome outcome. When comes the next condemnation?
