Thursday
Dear Elsie,
Today was the day my new phone got all its contacts and apps transferred across. It took a chunk of the day but it got done. The camera is fantastic and there is a macro feature that I probably won’t use often but it takes super detailed close up photos….Clawd’s whiskers!
From the balcony…
But the most interesting thing was after the whole transfer of data had been done, there were a number of photos from January 2017 that must have been on the ST card. Familiar photos on Fish Hoek beach but what’s interesting is that a number of them have in the background the land on which our house now stands. In 2017, it was a pipe dream. Julian on the beach 4th Jan 2017.
Mike and Julian…
This one from Sunny Cove station – from this point we can see our house very clearly. On 4th Jan 2017, it was completely missing…
But the photo that most grabbed my attention was this one. There was something going down on Elsie’s Peak the evening of 4th January 2017 and a helicopter was hovering up there. I went out to take a photo…
I could never have imagined that the view of the mountain at this spot would one day be blocked by our house. I think early 2017, there were discussions under way that went like this:
Julian: We should really try and build behind the cottage. The view up there is amazing.
Mike and I: How are we supposed to do that? Do you know how hard it will be and how expensive?
Julian: We just need to build something small.
Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine living here – that’s for sure. Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain.
Yesterday David had an awful day, but today was a new day and he felt better. He actually went outside and up the stairs to the top patio of the back plot & chatted to Mike about how it was going to work up there. Then he went back upstairs and I thought we wouldn’t see him again, but he came down at just after 6pm for tea and a chat. My sister sent me a video of Bruce Fordyce and his experience with what he believes to have been vaccine damage. Bruce has had great results with Nattokinase, NAC and Bromelain. We watched the video together. David has started on Natto and NAC and tomorrow we will throw Bromelain into the fray and see how he does. What is startling is that David used to be 10% of his healthy self. Then in September, when he had the improvement, he felt he was up to 20% and on the right trajectory. After his relapse, he was less than 10% – probably 5%. His goal now is to get back up to 15 or 20%. I asked him about depression and he said he has been down in the dumps for sure, but not clinically depressed. He gets over it & begins to strategise again to try improve or make use of the limited energy he has. Today was a better day. He’ll take it.
Isaiah 44:6
“This is what the Lord says—Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last apart from me there is no God.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
