Friday
Dear Elsie
It is with joy I write Friday! I like Fridays. Today was a 6-hour work day. Then in the afternoon, I took a walk to Fish Hoek to buy a little gift for my friend who turns 60 today. It’s the 1964’s year and there are numbers of us who are part of it. I bought her a hedgehog. It was my plan to drop it off on the way home, but when I messaged her, she wasn’t there.
Not often does a train come by when I’m crossing the line at this point. The train between Simon’s Town and Fish Hoek is happily running a lot more frequently. This has put me in mind that we should catch it to Simon’s Town one day and then walk home.
Last week when I wrote about my hand and how I got a tar burn, I said this time next week it will be gone. Well it’s not. I have thick skin. The pink patch has been very itchy. The middle scab is beginning to flake, so I think in a week it will be gone.
We are waiting for guests to arrive. They said their flight from Heathrow was due in at 11.30am and then they were going to pick up a car and go for a hike. They are due here at 5.30pm.
Courage has been in Johannesburg for the week. We are looking forward to having him back on Monday.
And that’s the end of the week.
One of the Bible verses that always strikes me when I encounter it is this one
Romans 16:7
Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
Can you imagine how excited they were at Paul’s conversion?
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
