Nuts and stuff....

Today was visit #4 to Grey Squirrel....

I talked and talked for another hour.....about the future, children, work, and moving on generally.

Today though I didn't have a big agenda like I have done on previous visits. Good to do more splurging through!

Grey Squirrel is truly exceptional at listening and interjecting at just the right point....she really is a square peg in a square hole (and I told her so !)

Yesterday I went to talk to somebody about a part time job working at a drop-in centre in Reading, but have decided not to apply for it, but hope to do some voluntary work there in the New Year (if they'll have me!)... When I was out tho, I also saw a giant wooden cross and was reminded of Jesus' words, "Whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple..." (Luke 14:27)

Today I also visited a dear christian couple who are both blind and have daily difficulties - the like of which, I have never experienced. I came away blessed beyond expectation just by being with them for an hour.

I wonder what is ahead in this crazy life??!!.....it certainly feels totally nuts sometimes (I'm sure Grey Squirrel would agree!). Tee, hee !

So.....stuff I'm grateful for today :-

• The unchanging good news of Jesus Christ (life in all it's fullness - John 10:10 !)
• My eyesight
• My children
• Good friends
• Central Heating
• Chocolate
