Wednesday
Dear Elsie
Today, 4 years ago, we moved to our new home. Time has flown by and we have been the very blessed recipients of 4 years of beautiful sunrises. This morning’s did not disappoint.
The wind had dropped and I went out on the balcony in time to see two whales frolicking in the early morning light. Such a treat. This doesn’t get old.
I did some work and then at 8am, we headed to the beach. It’s full moon tonight and there is a spring tide, so low tide is very very low and high tide is very very high. It was low tide at Fish Hoek.
After a 30 minute dip with not too much swimming (the sea was murky and the swells were large), we walked to the shops for pawpaw and bananas. Then home via the cat walk again. A train at Sunny Cove station.
Very blessed to have spent 4 years here and hopeful for many more to come.
I am grateful.
Today I read Jeremiah 29 and encountered this famous verse.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Sometimes things don’t go well, so it’s good to embrace the days that do.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
