Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we weren’t going to go to the beach. The wind was expected to be quite strong, but when we woke up, it wasn’t. Sunrise at 6.49am
By 8am, it was a breeze so off we went. I had a wonderful swim in cool water. We were home by 10am and work began…not quite 8 hours of it.
Later, I went out to drop Claw’d flyers at the local vets and also stopped by one of Fish Hoek’s gems – Berry Express – where I bought 5kg of frozen blueberries for R300.
The neighbour messaged me with a photo of Raiku on her deck, admitting that it was not Claw’d she’d seen but this naughty boy. Caught in the act. Guilty for sure.
When I was on the radio, there was something I used to say quite often and it came to mind today, “nothing is going to happen to you today without the Lord’s presence, permission and purpose.” The Lord has a purpose in every trial, no matter how small or large. I believe that. We are saddened but not without hope.
This evening we went out for dinner. Julian and I walked part of the way. When I first arrived in Cape Town, I was fascinated by trains. I never went on a train in Zimbabwe, so to see a train coming round the coast was always so picturesque for me. And for good reason.
You will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful setting for a train.
Psalm 54:4
Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
