and a wedding

9^th August

Actually another momentous event happened, only minutes after Raphael was born! The postman arrived at our door! Perhaps you think that doesn’t sound a great event. But what he delivered is yet another link in the chain. There on our doormat lay the invitation to Ben and Jenny’s wedding! For a long time we had been waiting for a grandbaby and a wedding and then in one sense we were given both within minutes of each other! Happy events amidst worrying ones. Our God is a rich rewarder. He showers us with blessings each day only sometimes we can be so weighted down with problems that we fail to notice them. And He promises to be with us in the storms, the fires, the deep waters. Even when we can’t feel His Presence we know He is there. We live by faith. Knowing all the time that it isn’t so much our faith that is important. It is the One upon Whom our faith rests and is still.

Yesterday a ‘for sale’ board went up outside our bungalow. Yesterday it went up on Rightmove. Yesterday someone even told our next door neighbour they wanted a tiny bungalow with a big garden in Ash! I know we will sell when the timing is right. Today Vicki phoned and encouraged me. Today I have asked God for a proper call if we are to move from Cheshunt to be nearer our family.
