May thoughts, Number 2

Hello All,

Well it's another day and it's been a really nice day.
I've been at my friends place for most of it, we tried to find, the pineapple track, but got lost, I know how do you get lost in dunedin, finding the pineapple track, moral of the story is that, we went up a road called Rudd Road, and it was gravel, we got to a padlocked gate and I had to reverse all the way down.
I'm getting pretty good at reversing. it was a good experience.

Some times you just need those days don't you that you do nothing, and today was a hogan hero day.
It was great, and it's a simple easy dinner tonight, Matt's lasagna from tea last night and roast potatoes in the oven bbq.
I'm making pad thai tomorrow for dinner, and rice pudding.

Today, I finally followed through on something that I've always wanted to do.
I picked up a little girl to add to my sponsor family, little Grace who is 4.
I've been praying for her, and every day I've thought about her, she stares at me, from her profile photo, while I do my hair in the morning.
I heard a talk by Ravi Zacharias about what we can do to break the poverty cycle.It's the small things in life, that count.
At them moment, I'm French braiding my hair, it's getting longer and thicker.

And the boys at the school have duck shooting this weekend, I'm now remembering boys names.
 What they like and don't like, they boys love their afghans, and banana cakes.
And M and M biscuits.

I haven't been for my walk today, mainly because I was at your friends place since 9 am to 3 pm. and it would have been lovely, I'll go tomorrow morning on my walk.
Then back to work Sunday, and have to make soup for the staff, with hot bacon and cheese scones.

I think of my little Gracie when I'm working, I'm wondering how she is going, and what would she be doing, will she be playing with her dolls? or singing?
or dancing?

Which tells me that she's a happy girl.

And that her bones, are strong because she is happy.

She lives in Indonesia, which isn't too far away from home.

In these challenging times, let me  encourage you to press into those times when you are happy, and be reminded of them.

Press into God, and people that care, and write to them, and love them.

That's all I want to say, tonight  is bless them, and care for your friends.
