WHEN We last took a trip to the First World, I took it upon myself
to
stock up on some amazing new cold and flue remedies, in
preparation
for my Annual Winter Cold !!
Chloraseptic Antiseptic Throat Spray for "Fast relief, Real Fast" !!
Vicks First Defence Nasal spray "Fights cold germs before they can
take hold" !!
FIRST DEFENCE ! "Get that cold before it gets you" !!
Theraflue Night Tome "for Severe Colds" to knock you out cold
during
the small hours, Theraflue Daytime for Severe Colds so that you can
get around during the day without a nosebag and a fistful of soggy
tissues.
I had every analgesic, bronchiodilator and decongestant known to
man,
my suitcase fairly clanking with phials and vials !!
With a smug self satisfied feeling, I covetously carried my
unguents,
elixirs and embrocations back home, safe in the knowledge that no
darn bug would get the better of me this winter !!!
Only to find Heehoo a complete bundle of germs after 24 hours in
the
plane air conditioning and seriously in need of my precious but
private dispensary !!
I was caught out completely for offering him the local cold-caps
and
flumel, Choats Extract of Lettuce and Pynstop..... and it was only
after he got me in a vice like Half Nelson that I reluctantly
agreed
to do the ethical thing and share !!
Dosing himself liberally with my secret stash, dispensing my cache
of
cachets with gay abandon, he soon felt on top of the world leaving
me
with naught but a panacea of protestations !!
Hot on Heehoos heels Charlie our faithful retainer then developed
the
sniffles and he, after casting longing glances at my private
pharmacy, forced my better nature to allow him some of my dastardly
drugs, and then of course it was all over. Mother Hubbards muti
cupboard was totally bare !!
And so back to basics it will have to be - if YOU have a cold -
don't
come anywhere near me !!
Or I shall have to resort to those age old remedies that "Mother
Used
to Make "
Disprin ......... Mother swore that Disprin would cure everything
including warts .....
Friars Balsam ....... hang your aching head over a basin of
steaming
Friars Balsam, under a towel and that stuffy nose is unstuffed
completely.
Cough muti, made from freshly stewed prickly pears !! And Cream of
Tartare from the Baobab Tree ground into a fine powder for a stuffy
nose !!

According to the New Economics Foundation (NEF), the tiny island of
Vanuatu is the happiest country on the planet, while no less than
nine Latin American countries feature in the top ten.
Vanuatu, an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean consisting of
about 80 islands, topped the Happy Planet Index (HPI) after
ecological footprint, life-satisfaction and life expectancy were
taken into account.
The island nation scored 68.3 on the HPI, just ahead of Colombia
(67.2), Costa Rica (66) and Dominica (64.6) in the list.
According to the CIA, most Vanuatu islanders "do not have access to
a
reliable supply of potable water" and have to put up with tropical
cyclones and volcanic eruption, yet they are apparently more than
twice as happy as the USA.
European nations fared less well on the happiness scale, with
Austria
the highest nation in the list with an HPI of 48.8 in 61st place.
And the UK was even more discontent according to the list, coming
in
108th place, behind Nepal, Libya and Georgia.
The US is unhappier still, being named as the 150th happiest
country
out of 178 with a HPI of just 28.8.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Zimbabwe, was named as the least happy
country with a score of 16.6, just below Swaziland and Burundi.

Word for Zimbabwe 6/1/06
Received June 1st, 2006, London, England. Dr. Mary Craig.
Darkness, deep darkness covers Zimbabwe, but in you I have placed
My
light and I will send the fire of purging to Zimbabwe to purge the
land and cleanse it and to sanctify My people and draw up out of
the
ashes, a people to My praise whom I can bless and prosper. I will
cut
them off from lawlessness, from their lawless deeds and evil
wickedness and I will turn their hearts to worship Me and serve Me
in
spirit and truth. I will cut them off from ancestral witchcraft and
the ways of the ancients. I will silence the mouths of the graves.
I
will drive out demons and devils and lead the people into truth and
out of fear, doubt, despair and debt. They will honour Me in
lawfulness that I might bless them and I will open the heavens over
My people and it will be seen that I AM the Possessor of heaven and
earth, their shield and exceeding great reward, El Shaddai, the
Almighty. I AM and there is no other.
What Do You See as You Look for My Appearing? 6/9/06
O watchman on the wall, what do you see as you look for My
appearing?
Do you see lightning flashing across the sky? Do you see a thief in
the night? Do you see every eye seeing Me? Do you see Me coming in
the clouds of glory with the saints, on a white horse, how?
How shall it be? How shall all the scriptures be fulfilled
perfectly?
Yet I tell you that every word of God is true and it will all
happen
just as the scriptures prophesy, because the scriptures cannot be
broken, not by any devil or any man.
Do you believe that I am He, the True Vine, the Resurrection and
the
Life, the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life, the Alpha and Omega,
that
before Abraham was, I AM? I am the Way the Truth, and the Life. No
one comes to the Father but by Me. I am the Door, the only way to
the
Father.
And I am coming for a holy Bride. Come out and be separate. Come
out
of hypocrisy, out of pretence, out of perversion, pride, the
passions
of the flesh. Come out of the sin that so easily entangles and be
sanctified.
Great change is in the wind. Great change. Those who thought they
knew Me, who have done thus and so in My Name will discover I never
knew them. A shaking, a purging, a purifying comes and I will know
My
own and they will know Me.
My own. My own. I know them, each once, and My sheep hear My voice
and follow Me. These follow the Lamb wherever He goes and I will
lead
them to Myself.
You Must Learn My Ways 6/20/06
Soon I will judge the Great Whore, for her time is at hand that I
should judge her according to My Word. And as for you, My people,
you
must no more bear the mark of the beast, nor will you soon be able
to
conduct business according to the system of the world, but you must
learn and do according to Me, buying from Jehovah as I say in My
Word.
The old ways, the ways of the world, will not work in the lives of
My
own, but you shall seek Me to find Me and you shall come to draw of
the Living Waters fully without cost. Learn of Me, My ways, that
you
may live and not die.
And if you know that I AM the Bread of Life and of Me and in Me are
true riches, if you know My Word to bring My Word to Me as you
would
money to the bank and have faith in Me to fulfil My Word, you shall
live and not die.
Joshua 1:8, Proverbs 3. Find out the ways of My kingdom, how to buy
and how to sell, how to give, how to receive, how to bless, how to
be
blessed.... For the time is short.
And soon I will manifest Myself in glory to all nations and I will
judge the nations and will I find faith on the earth in the hearts
of
My people? How shall you then live?
