Yesterday we said goodbye to the Ray and Bentley and their 4 kids. It mean't getting up at 3 am but it was worth it to just spend that time with them and other mutual friends at the airport. What really seemed funny was going back to their house to finish up a few jobs for them and take some goodies they had left for us. It felt as if we were desercrating a grave or something. It was as if we were dishonouring their memory by being there without them... really weird???
Today I had another interview with the Jobs Mob, and our car's radiator split so we are in the middle of repairing that - well my Dad is, we happened to be at his house when it went so while i was at my interview he did all the grunt work and removed it - thanks Dad - I'll put it back tomorrow, I promise.
Something Sarah has noticed but is not too willing to admit is that God seems to be replacing the things we let go of to leave our home and go to Europe, with either better items or double of the same. We sold a car - we got a car better suited to us; we emptied our cupboards of food - we seem to be getting more back for nothing; we left with one mobile/cell phone we now have 5 in the house. It sounds like a joke and part of me doesn't want to put a jinx on it (i know, I know) but it seems to be going like that. I'll let you know more if/as it continues.
PS - when i can conect my computor agian i'll update with some photo's. Cya.
what is that thing Jesus said about those who give up this or that will find it multiplied in the Kingdom?
what an encouragement to see His provisions, especially at a time when you'd naturally be experiencing so much emotional and spiritual vulnerability, not to mention the jet lag, move lag, unpack lag, and lag lag that can be so wearing.
welcome Home ... Jesus has obviously been there to greet you ...
