I woke up around 3am to the sound of heavy rain! I went downstairs and opened the front door to see if the cat was anywhere to be found. I called but she didn’t come. The rain fell in fragrant soaking streams – it was a beautiful sight. I went through to the garage and opened the garage door to see if Truffles was somewhere there, but she didn’t appear. I have a feeling she has found a warm and private spot at the neighbour’s house. On not finding her, I went back to bed, but it was wonderful to see the rain.
Today I went passed the Sun Valley pond to see if there was any difference…
Sun Valley Pond – 17th June 2017
This was it two days ago…
Sun Valley Pond – 15th June 2017
I think there is just a little difference particularly towards the front.
We thank the Lord for the rain!
#328 of my 1000 thanks is for my work colleague coming out of hospital again today. She has had a traumatic few weeks, with more treatment to come, but at least she sleeps in her own bed tonight.
God allows suffering, but regardless of how bad or how long, it is not permanent. I am just passing through and while I hope to live a long life, I know that all that is to come far outweighs all we experience here. The tiniest moment in heaven is far greater than the largest and most memorable, joyous and exhilarating experiences we have ever had on earth.
1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
Mike and I did a shop today….and I bought myself a treat!
It was gooood and it gave me just the energy I needed to knock off the rest of the emails in the inbox. When I got back from the hot springs, the inbox sat at 297. Today I emptied it entirely! Boom! That felt good!
And so Saturday 17th June 2017 is almost over. One more month and I will be celebrating 38 years of believing that Jesus Christ is God and that He died for me.
Amazing!
These are the days!
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip,
