Thursday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day I worked the entire day so outside life became very small, but I did get to see yachts and whales. The whales are very difficult to get pics of but the yachts showed up the lovely day.
Such a beautiful day. It’s hard to believe that I would ever get to enjoy this view. We spoke about it the other day. If it hadn’t been for Julian randomly asking us to go in with him when he bought the cottage, we would never have been here. Julian had put in a cheeky offer. When the estate agent (nicknamed Pollie because he used to be in the police) went to take the seller (Leslie) the offer, before he went in, she said to him, ‘first let us pray.’ Pollie said, ‘you don’t know what I’ve come to say.’ She said, ‘I know you have come to talk business.’ And with that she prayed. Pollie presented the offer. She asked if we wanted the house to sell and make money on, or to live in. He said to keep it to live in. She read from the Bible, Hebrews 12:1 ‘Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,’ and with that, she accepted our offer! We would never be here if the Lord hadn’t opened the door. That’s for sure.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
