TWENTY SIXTEEN - PART THIRTY SIX

 TWENTY SIXTEEN -            PART THIRTY SIX

  Hello folks,

                                             
I have now managed to get enough blogs done to bring 
me through to the middle of November, with the exception of recipes and jokes. 

7th October - Steve's birthday
Just found another comforting inspiring Bible verse as the 30th draws closer:

"FOR I AM THE LORD
  YOUR GOD WHO TAKES HOLD OF 
YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SAYS TO YOU
DO NOT FEAR;  I WILL HELP YOU"
Isaiah 41;13

The power went off  at 11.45am. We put the chicken in the oven at 10.30  - the potatoes are already steamed to make chips and the other veggies are ready to steam. Wait for power. 


Sunday 9th October - all spiritual messages I watched on the TV  today were dealing with FAITH.  Confirmation because that is what my blog is about. God is strengthening my faith. 

Vlooi has a very sore left paw.  The claw is completely twisted around - the back of the claw  is where the front should be and vice versa. She hops along keeping the left paw off the floor. 

  My eyes are also giving           me trouble again. I                   must remember to stay             away from computer               games, they seem to put           a lot more strain on my           eyes, than normal work.


Ruth takes Vlooi to the Vet on Monday 10th - a friend provides the cash.  While out, Ruth gets another SMS from Andre demanding immediate payment of the rent.  He now realizes we are more in arrears than he originally thought.

Ruth gets back with Vlooi - claws all nicely clipped and the problem claw disposed of.  She meets Amanda on arrival at home and breaks down in tears. 

Amanda is apparently unaware of Andre's SMS - she hugs Ruth and says she will come over later as she is very busy getting her mom ready for the retirement home. She promises  to "sort it out." 

Ruth and I both know that our backs are against the wall. We do not have any answers and we do not know what to do.

Hand it to the Lord.  Sit and wait. But at the same time try to get some transcription work up and running. Ruth also tries to contact the new coin dealer, without success.   Remember God is in control.  Nothing can happen without His authorisation. And if He allows it to happen it is for a reason. He will never allow something to happen to you without  a reason.
