HEARTPRINTS

Whatever our hands touch...we leave FINGERPRINTS!..On doorknobs.walls,furniture, cars,books,dishes and many.many more.There,s no escape.As we touch, our IDENTITY is left BEHIND This Day..Lord!!!Wherever I go and whatever I do,HELP me to leave HEARTPRINTS!!! Heartprints of compassion,of understanding and love.Heartprints of kindness and geniune concern. May my heart touch a lonely neighbour,someone,s suicidal son or daughter or that anxious mother who feels so distraught, not knowing where to go.what to do or even calling who.Perhaps a sick and dying soul,thinking tomorrow is forever nomore.Who shall you send my Lord.Please let it be me. Send me, somewhere Today my Lord,to leave a Heartprint or two. If someone should say, :I Felt Your Touch Today: May they also sense the DEEP LOVE within...My Heart,AS the LOVE YOU Have for ME.

babies

Children are a great gift from God. When you get married, the next step is always about having children. I had four kids in five years. I thought I would not be able to cope, but, that was also in the days when new moms had time for their kids. I just loved the idea of having children. As they got older, I played sports, and they all played a sport as well. my three girls and myself played netball, and my son played soccer. We played until they all left high school. A couple of years later they started having their own families. My eldest granddaughter is 14 years old, second one is 8yrs old, third one is 5yrs old, 4th one is 10days old. NOW!!! I have just heard that there is another baby on the way, and they are now about 6 or 7 weeks into this pregnancy. I hope its a boy this time as well. I love all my grandkids so much. I know God has blessed me with wonderful children, and grandchildren, and we as moms and grandma's need to nurture them and bring them up i...

Listening

Do you hear when somebody speak,do you LISTEN when somebody speak.Do you hear the persons tone of voice,do you listen to the persons tone of voice.Do you take note of the ones body language and facial expression.Is he trying to convey his feelings,his anger,his concern,his joy,his sorrow,his love.DO YOU CARE.Take a moment and reflect when this happened to you.When you were a BABY,wet,hungry,had cramps,collic,felt alone and abandand.The piercing screams you rendered made somebodies hear raise. They came running took care of you,cuddled you, wiped your tears. Can you see somebody needing the same from you today.TODDLER the senanagens you cought on,the times you climed on the highest object got stuck screamed,like somebody is murdering you.The time you fell scraped your knee, saw some blood and you thought you were dieing screamed.Somebody came running took you in their arms hugged you, kissed you,wiped your nose,washed your knee and bandaided it made you feel whole again.Was there somebo...

I had a very busy week at the Impact centre and so did the rest of the volunteers and staff. Everyone is so dedicated and passionate about their calling. It is so encouraging to see people's lives being changed. The one moment you see them coming in with no hope the next you see them smiling. I am part of the seniors citizens group, I do the health talks, motivational talks and the pampering. Beryl does the arts and crafts and pampering, Gloria does the sports, excises and pampering. Then we have Rae, Natasha, Yolanda, Sharon and Juanita on the pampering team. We are having our Golden sports day on 28 May where 30 of our seniors will partake in different events. They are very active and are always on time for their practice sessions. Precautions are set in place regarding their health.So come Thursday they will be wearing their Impact t-shirts and tracksuits.

Wellness Outreach

Social Development Athlone District requested Impact Direct Wellness group to do a site visit.The purpose of the visit was to give a health check up. We were a group of five ladies and three Impact young men who went over to Langa. It was our first visit to Zone 17 Old age home. Last year we had a group from the same home Coming to The Impact centre. We saw that they had a great need and that they were very lonely.Our youth then visited the home and had fellowship with the elderly. The program: high blood , weighting, padicure and manicure. The senior folk were so pleased with their treatment they were thanking us all the way. The one gentleman (uncle Basil) said he could not wear sandals now he can.No person his age can reach their feet nevermind cutting toenails. The ladies had facials and they even had nailpolish and makeup.( Aya a glamours lady) relived her youth she was a model and worked on movie sets.
