Hey everyone. My husband decided to compete in a singing competition and did really well. Unfortunately he fell out last week. Now he is part of the wild car selection. In order to return he needs votes. Please help us by clicking on the post, and liking Hendrik Combrinck photo.

💗✨ Oor 5 slapies word Mia-Miri 6✨💗
Vanjaar voel haar verjaarsdag nie soos ’n datum op ’n kalender nie.
Dit voel soos ’n gebed wat beantwoord is.
Soos asem wat aan ons teruggegee is.
Soos ’n genade wat ons nie verdien het nie… maar tog ontvang het.
Vandag is dit 3 maande sedert die woord “Leukemia” my bors soos glas laat breek het.
Drie maande waarin ek geleer het dat ’n mens kan asemhaal en steeds voel jy verdrink.
Drie maande waar tyd anders beweeg het — stadig, swaar, soms sonder einde.
Drie maande waar ek my kind moes sien veg nog voordat sy regtig verstaan waarvoor.
En tog… in daardie 3 maande, tussen die drips en die benoude ure, het God ’n nuwe storie geskryf.
Nie een van perfekte dae nie, maar een van genade in elke dag.
Want wanneer ek terugdink, sien ek nie net die pyn nie.
Ek sien die klein wonders wat mens nooit raaksien wanneer alles maklik is nie:
🌸 Die eerste glimlag ná dae se stilte.
🌸 Die manier hoe sy my hand so styf vashou asof my hartklop haar anker is.
🌸 Hoe sy “Mamma, ek’s okay” fluister, net om my te beskerm.
🌸 Die sagte vrede op haar gesiggie wanneer sy bid.
🌸 Hoe sy krag vind in ’n lyfie wat so uitgeput was.
🌸 En hoe sy elke verpleegster laat voel asof hulle ’n verskil maak.
Ons het haar sien val, maar elke keer het God haar op ’n manier weer laat opstaan wat ons nie self kon nie. Daarom is haar sesde verjaarsdag vanjaar nie net ’n mylpaal nie — dit is ’n heilige oomblik. ’n Heilige oomblik vol dankbaarheid, hoop en sagtheid.
Maandag voltooi sy Blok 2.
’n Berg wat ons nie sonder God se hand sou kon klim nie. ’n Berg wat weer wys:
Hy maak sterk waar ons swakker as ooit voel.
En oor 5 slapies… vier ons haar ses jaar op hierdie aarde.
Ses jaar van lig.
Ses jaar van lewe.
Ses jaar van wonder na wonder — selfs wanneer dit donker was.
My geliefde Mia-Miri:
Mag hierdie nuwe jaar vir jou lig wees.
Mag jou lyfie herstel soos net God dit kan doen.
Mag jou hartjie sag bly, al was jou pad hard.
Mag jou drome groot wees en jou laste lig.
Mag jy altyd verstaan dat jy ’n gebed is wat beantwoord is —
’n wonderwerk wat ek elke dag sien.
Aan elkeen wat saam met ons dra:
Dankie dat julle ons hande vashou as ons nie self kan nie.
Dankie dat julle die lig is wanneer die pad donker voel.
Dankie dat julle bydra, dat julle gee, dat julle glo saam met ons.
Ons sal dit nooit, nooit ooit as vanselfsprekend aanvaar nie.
Oor 5 slapies vier ons nie net ’n verjaarsdag nie… ons vier ’n lewe wat God vir ons gespaar het.
En daar is geen groter dankbaarheid as dit nie.

So very true. Hard to imagine anyone even asking this.
Last week I went to town with one of our little ones. As we stood in the queue, I noticed a lady staring at us. I smiled… but she didn’t even blink. A few minutes later, she walked right up to me and asked:
“How can you love them if they aren’t yours? Isn’t it difficult?”
For a moment, I was speechless — not because I was offended, but because I genuinely didn’t know how to explain something that feels so natural to me.
I took a breath and simply answered:
“No… it’s not difficult at all. It’s actually very easy to love them.”
Because love isn’t measured by blood or DNA.
Love is shown in the early morning cuddles, the little hands reaching for yours, the trust in their eyes, their laughter, their tears, their growth.
They may not have come from my body, but they live in my heart.
If the world understood that a child doesn’t need to belong to you for you to love them, imagine how many more little hearts would feel truly safe, wanted, and cherished.
Love is love — and every child deserves it.

đź’” Another Baby Abandoned This Morning
A friend of mine, a community worker, told me about a newborn baby who was found abandoned in Pola Park.
By the grace of God, this little one is alive. But my heart breaks thinking about what she was exposed to before someone found her, the cold, the fear, the danger.
And what hurts even more is knowing that just a short distance away, there is my Baby Saver, a place where she could have been left safely, warmly and with dignity.
Instead, this tiny baby had to face the world alone before help came.
And yet, this is what DSD Gauteng seems to want, to make Baby Savers illegal.
To take away a life-saving option that ensures a baby is found within minutes by someone ready to care, love and protect.
No danger. No delay. Just a safe space for a desperate mother who feels she has no other choice.
How can we call something like that a crime?
How can we choose paperwork and politics over life?
Every time a baby is found like this, it’s a reminder that our system is failing mothers in crisis.
We need compassion, not criminalisation.
We need safe options, not silence.
Because one more baby left out in the cold is one too many.
Baby savers don’t encourage abandonment. They save lives.
You can help.
Please object before the 25th to this bill by emailing the following or your own words:
"I object to the proposed
Dear official,
I, (full name), with email address (email) and contact number (number), am writing to submit that I object to the proposed amendment to the definition of abandonment in section 1(a) of the Children's Amendment Bill in that it proposes to include a child relinquished in a baby box. This is a form of safe relinquishment and should not be defined as abandonment as it safeguards the child's right to life.
Thank you for considering my submission.
Yours sincerely,

Ek deel gereeld my storie rakende wat die laaste jaar met ons as gesin gebeur het. Dat ons twee keer plasenta previa in die gesig moes staar en al die onsekerhede wat daarmee gepaard gaan moes aandurf.
Swangerskap en die pad wat ons aandurf daarmee het uitdagings.
Daarom wil ons ander mammas help met ons stories. As jy 'n storie het om te deel, DM my.
