UIT DIE BURGEMEESTER SE PEN Beste Albatrossers
Die afgelope Paasnaweek was dit my en Louise Viljoen se voorreg om die
Presidente saamtrek by Klipdraai by te woon. Daar was 184 woonwaens die
naweek teenwoordig. Ons is goed ontvang en het in ‘n goeie toegeruste
woonwa van R320 000 geslaap.
Dit was ‘n heerlike kuier
naweek met ’n baie goeie
gees tussen vriendelike
mense wat vir my en Louise baie goed ontvang het. Die gees
van Paasfees was ook teenwoordig en Willie Joubert en sy vrou
het die boekevat deur die naweek hanteer. Saterdag was die
groot kermis in die tent met baie heerlike eetgoed wat te koop
was. Daar was ook verskeie ander goed te koop. Die kermis
het vir SAWA ongeveer R97 000 verdien. Dit is ‘n naweek wat
ek beslis vir almal sal aanbeveel.

GEDAGTE VIR DIE DAG…
Die lewe word gekenmerk deur keuses. Ons kan dit beskryf as gewone keuses, byvoorbeeld: Watter
uitrusting en klere verkies ek, of meer gekompliseerde keuses soos ‘n huweliksmaat en ‘n beroep.
Soms moet jy net kies tussen reg en verkeerd en met watter vriende jy meng. Om dié keuses te maak,
is nie noodwendig maklik nie, en jy soek dikwels hulp en raad.
Die volgende is tog belangrik:
Jy mag maar foute maak in die keuses wat jy uitoefen, want daar is altyd ander moontlikhede om ‘n
saak te hanteer. Jy kan goeie keuses maak as jy bereid is om na ander te luister.
Goeie keuses berus op die feit dat jy die voor- en nadele van ‘n besluit teen mekaar kan opweeg en in
vertroue ‘n besluit neem. Die begrip keuse het as grondslag dat jy jou gawes ken. Dit is om nie
oorhaastig besluite in jou lewe te neem nie.
Omdat keuses jou hele lewe kan beïnvloed, is dit raadsaam om te luister na ander en na die Here. Dan
lees ek in Psalm 119: 9: “Hoe kan ‘n jongmens sy lewe skoon hou? Deur hom te hou aan u woord.”
Ons kan vandag begin met ons keuse om vir die Here te vra: “Here, wat is u wil vir my lewe?
De Hollandsche Molen
Die naweek van 2-4 Maart was daar ‘n
kamp by Hollandsche Molen. Daar was
altesaam 27 Albatros lede en 7 gaste.
Die kampleiers vir die naweek was
Francois en Wilma Vivier
Dit was ‘n baie rustige en warm naweek.
Vrydagaand was boekevat en almal moes inteken. Saterdag was markdag waar die lede hul handewerk
kon verkoop aan die res van die lede. Sondagoggend was kerk wat deur Andre Potgieter waargeneem
was en voorsitterstee.

IETS VIR DIE MANS Real men take care of and support their families always, in all ways. The greatest honour and duty any man can
have bestowed on him is the honour and the privilege of being put in a position where his purpose in life is to
support, love, protect and provide for a family. There is no greater love than the love a woman gives to a man.
There is no greater gift in life than when a woman bears a man’s children. The least you can do is take
responsibility and give your life to them.
The greatest problem facing the world today are men, sorry, “males” who do not stand by and provide for their
families. It is, in this man’s opinion, the greatest evil and the greatest sin one can commit against humanity
when a man does not provide for and support his wife (mother of his kids) and children. I truly believe that if it
were not for the love and commitment of single moms (who for the most part are abandoned by males) this
world would be in a greater state of anarchy than it is today.
Real Men stand by their wives, girlfriends and lovers. Real Men provide for and are role models to their
children. There can be no excuse for a man not supporting, providing for and loving his family. Yes, this is
another one of those pesky actions that Real Men do every day because they care and love their families; they
do this because they are Real Men.
THE REWARD
You my friend, will change the world.
You will be regarded as a Real Man.
You will be the envy of other males.
You will create and leave a legacy for generations to come.
You will know and experience the true love of a woman.
You will experience and know the true love of a child.
You will be someone’s hero.
You will be a man amongst men.
Oh, but if you need to look for a reward for doing this you are a chop.
THE HOW TO
1. There is no manual on how to stand by and provide for your family. You do not need one because you
know what to do and how to do it. Yes, it does take time, patience and sacrifice. You have all of these
skills in abundance. If you do it right (hell even if you do it wrong), you will learn more about yourself
than you will ever teach them. If you do it consciously – having a family will show you so much about
yourself and what you need to change.
2. Your wife and your children are gifts from God. They give you a purpose in life. They inspire you to do
great things and to learn the true meaning of the word’s sacrifice and unconditional love. If you allow
them to show you – yourself, you will receive joy beyond words or imagining.
3. It’s not really that difficult. Someone once said that all we can do for our children is to love them
unconditionally and give them a good education. Sigmund Freud said the greatest gift you can give your
children is to love their mother. So, you love by doing and being there. You give them all of you; by your
actions and the role model behaviour you give them an outstanding informal education; and you love
them and their mother unconditionally.
4. Woman and children spell the word love -T I M E. Spend the time and they will feel the love. Be with
them, support them, encourage and provide for them, and you will have little else to do.
5. It is true that Real Men love a good challenge. You will never find a greater challenge than the challenge
of raising well-rounded, special children. A greater challenge still will be to love, honour and understand
a woman. Believe it or not, a lot of men actually do understand women. Are you ready for the challenge
of your life? If so go to it with passion, courage and a sense of humour.
