Monday
Today was the day…
I remembered back to my worst Valentine’s day ever. It was Valentine’s Day 1985 and I had just come out of a horrible heartbreak. I was so miserable that day. I could not wait for the day to pass.
That’s the thing about being miserable. It does pass. Little did I know what was ahead. It would be the last time I celebrated Valentine’s Day alone. 36 Valentines later and there is an appreciation for being happily married. We don’t need one day of the year to remind us of our love.
It was a day we didn’t swim. The wind was howling last night and it was quite windy this morning, but by 8am, it had subsided and a beautiful day followed.
I worked and Mike spent a number of hours in his workshop working on the doors for the courtyards for each unit. They are coming along nicely.
Mike routing..
Courage worked on the top wall.
To follow on yesterday’s blog, photos I emailed myself popped into my inbox. This is our floor. I remember when it was like this. We were waiting to be able to get to the very front of the house and finally on this day we could (exactly two years ago). The concrete lintels had been carried up and put in place.
We gingerly walked across them to the front of the house and admired what would be the view from our bedroom and living area. It was overwhelming. It’s so strange to see it like this. You can see under the house where our workshop is now located. The entire house has changed from then, but not the view and tonight we have a beautiful rising moon.
Psalm 100:4-5
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
