Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day I woke to see blackness across the bay. The bright string of street lights joining Clovelly to Kalk Bay, the harbour lights and distant twinkling of Muizenberg were shrouded by a cold dark fog. It sort of reflected my mood. It’s been almost 6 months since David fell ill and my heart was saddened that up to now the anticoagulant therapy has not worked. I went out onto the balcony and peered into the darkness. This is a trial. It will pass. Just because we can’t see the lights, they are there. Just because we can’t see the healing, it will come.
A cappuccino in the darkness followed & soon my spirit lifted. Everything will be all right. It will just take time. Our lives have been pretty idyllic and we are grateful. Trials come to everyone. This is ours for a season.
David’s blood results came back and there is no change. This is not surprising because David’s recent condition hasn’t changed. He’s trying to put himself in the best possible place for healing, so he’s cleaned up his diet, is off sugar and most recently has stopped having dairy. We’ll see how he does in the coming days.
And it’s Friday which makes everything a little better. I worked 8 hours. And then we took a walk to the end of the beach and enjoyed some lovely long sunset shadows…
Home again for dinner and a Grand Design.
I only got 5 hours sleep last night so I am ready to turn in for the night.
Psalm 142:1
I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
