Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we had no water the whole day! I woke up really early (about 4am) and thought to myself, ‘I really don’t want to check to see if the water has come on and find that it hasn’t.’ Eventually, I got up and went to the bathroom. No water. And there was nothing on any of the Whatsapp groups. Silence. Nothing from the Council. Nothing from the residents. Nothing was being done. By 5:30am, we had gone to the all night Spar and bought 3 x 5 litre bottles of water.
Sunrise – water water everywhere but not a drop to drink! The City did put on a water tank so we could fill up our bottles…
Only problem was by the time we got there after work, it had left. On Echo road the digging began…
I felt so terrible for our guests. They checked out at 1pm – out for lunch first and then to the airport to fly back to Germany tonight. They could not shower before they left and all they to wash in was a bucket of cold tank water. How awful was that?!
Anyway, amidst the water woes, I got 9 hours of work done today.
Psalm 30:4-5
Sing the praises of the Lord, you His faithful people; praise His holy Name.
For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
