Lockdown 783

Lockdown Day 783-18 May 2022

So today, after the remaining furniture was loaded and underway, my friend Lourette and I accompanied a friend to her radiation therapy. She had been receiving this, following a diagnosis and subsequent removal of a tumour. Tomorrow is her last day and tea and carrot cake are, amongst other things, on the menu for a proper celebration.

It was a wonderful catch up session and we reminisced over our days together in Harrismith many moons ago when our kids were tiny. We spoke about things of the heart and things of God and how faithful He has been in all of our lives and trials. Charmiane and Ria, you were sorely missed! What a blessing it was.

Back home, the house smelled clean and fresh after my trusted help had tackled the cupboards and windows. I busied myself with the last recycling bags and old garden stuff that needed to be removed.

A buyer for the last two hunting trophies arrived to load them, after which I finished packing my own personal effects. Roxy and I arrived at the townhouse well after 8pm, bushed and ready to turn in.

Relieved the only things we need to do is remove the last things for storage and pack our own vehicles, I thank the Lord for His favour, grace and provision. For walking with us even if we don't ask, and for mapping out our path even if we lose the plot. Because with Him everything makes sense. And because He's got this.
