Lockdown 240

Lockdown Day 240 - 21 November 2020

Rainy summer days are most wonderful! I finished my last leg of cleaning and organising today. I left the garage 'till last because of the heat factor, figuring if I went for an early walk to cool down and keep my walking gear on, it would keep me cool for long enough. 

So when we left the house it was cool and overcast with a fresh and welcoming breeze. After that, it became more overcast with rain hovering on the horizon. How wonderful it was to get the garage done in the cool morning air with the promise of rain. 

When the rain eventually came, my car got a much needed bath and I finished while the heavenly blessing cooled down mother earth. 

This evening we spent a very special evening with some of our longest standing friends from way back when we lived here 30 years ago. Through all these years we have been in contact our friendship grew into a deep christian faith sharing friendship. 

We saw them get married, each other's children being born, worked together and what a pleasure it was to be able to catch up again and have office coffees together. It was great to be close to you again, and to share an occasional braai at each other's houses. 

So now we keep in touch as before, at least now we're in the same country! C&A we carry you and your boys in our hearts forever.💛

So as I retire with the raindrops hanging from every branch in the green room, I see the reflection of good times in every drop. I offer up a prayer for mother earth and ask for rain for all the drought stricken places in our country. And I'm eternally thankful my spirit is not drought stricken and barren, but filled with joy, love, faith and hope. The God kind. God's got us. And as sure as rain He's got this too. 💦
