Oh my, what a Thursday

Thursday was just one of those days when nothing went right from morning till night! 

I went to the office to work due to load shedding as my generator was not yet operational.  When I planned to leave the office my car wouldn't start due to leaving my lights on in the morning drizzle.

We tried my jumper cables, they were burnt out. We tried jump starting, car wouldn't go. Eventually I had to call roadside assistance.

Eventually got under way and arrived home to find I had accidentally locked Ginger up in my bedroom, poor kitty!

The evening was busy with doing the laundry but I eventually crawled into a clean and warm bed greatful for the day to be over.

Life is just like that, some days are ordinary, others really suck but every now and then a great one comes your way! 

God never told us life would be smooth sailing when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, but He did promise us that in every moment of life he would be with us, helping and guiding us through life's journey.  With Him at our side, we can overcome all difficulties! 

Spring time and rain

Spring has sprung and with it some light rain here in Gauteng!  Over the last month I've been able to re-ignite my passion for gardening and the garden is getting some new life into it as well.  I know that I must achieve all the heavy lifting now before the temperatures rise too much.  I have already scattered hundreds of seeds and seeing the little leaves rise slowly out the ground, I hope and trust I'll have a beautiful herb harvest this year!  

My Clivia's are my favourite garden gold and this year thanks to much growth over the last few years I was able to split some off and add their beautiful cheer to the front garden and I look forward to them maturing and bringing me great joy as they bloom. 

For me, reorganizing my garden, reorganizes my soul and I find peace and strength in the beauty that new plants and new life bring.  There is always the wonder of what will my garden produce for me this year?  With that wonder, I ask myself, what will this season bring for me this year?  Its a time of deep introspection and reflection.  

In our spiritual walk our passion for God sometimes needs a kick start too.  We may have found that when hardships, like the season of winter, cause pain, sometimes we become a little frost bitten in our relationship with God.  Who would have thought that 2020 and the bizaare occurance of Covid would toss our lives upside down?  With it, there has been much pain, but at times some true joys and I find myself deeper in love with my saviour than ever before.  

This spring let new life, new gratitude for what we have, bring you closer to your maker as you look to Him!
