Acts chapter 20 "In all this I have given you an example, that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, for he himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." When he finished speaking, he knelt down with them all and prayed." When I read this I think that the action of receiving anything should, in fact, create a need in you to give back. How wonderful that our Lord would give us this faith that would create in us a need to share - love, time, hands and material with all who come to us in need. Think of how you felt the last time you experienced the joy of having given something to someone who truly appreciated that gesture from you. Not all gifts are received.
On this day
1999 It was a Sunday and I was alone at home. On Friday, Bruce had picked up Nicole to go up for Bass Lake (maybe her first?). Waynette and I had gone to the Scottish Games the day before so it was a catch up on house and shopping. I did call Mom and she came over for dinner and Al came over too. I hope those two are still getting their hair done and going to lunch together in heaven.
1999 - Wade Boggs (Tampa Bay Devil Rays) got his 3,000th hit of his major league baseball career. WOW!
Fairfield, Australia
Culture[edit]
Fairfield's large Iraqi and Assyrian community has had the media describe the suburb as 'Little Iraq' or 'Little Baghdad'. More Iraqi businesses have opened in Fairfield, mostly around Ware Street. These businesses include everything from jewellery shops to restaurants, making the area favourite entertainment and shopping hotspot for the Iraqi and Assyrian community. Fairfield's culturally diverse population is reflected in multicultural local businesses such as over twenty different types of cafés and restaurants that include Assyrian, Iraqi, Italian, Chinese, Lebanese, Vietnamese, South American and Thai cuisine.
Sydney's Iraqi community congregated in Fairfield to celebrate Iraq qualifying for the Asian Football Cup finals in 2007. More than 7000 people joined in street celebrations around Fairfield on Sunday 29 July 2007 after Iraq won the Asian Cup finals.
There is also a large library in the heart of the suburb. Fairfield has a few Assyrian churches, sporting clubs, cultural associations and health groups.[14]
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable!! Happy Birthday Colleen!
