Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we really felt summer had arrived – the first real signs of it. The golden orb of sunrise.
I left for an early morning walk. It was close to 7am and already there were a dozen or more swimmers and the trek fishermen were back in action.
I went up Contour and along the lower peak path. The mountain had bouquets of flowers.
Then I went a little way along Berg Rd, embracing the day.
I was home before 8am. I got to work. I think soon, when the UK clocks turn back an hour (27th October), on days like today, we’ll head for the beach. It seems crazy not to have swum today. The beach is calling my name.
Right now, I’m sitting outside on the balcony and this is my view…perfect windless evening.
Tomorrow, we’re hoping to get up really early and climb the mountain. I plan to be back by about 7.45am, so we can shower ahead of the guests coming up for coffee at 8.30am. The weather this weekend looks full summer!
A productive week comes to an end. Today I started Colossians.
Colossians 1:15-17
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
We are safe!
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
