Sheesh...

I am struggling!

First, I've overslept and then - yes, it gets worse - my beloved son has disappeared with my car! That means no church for me and letting everyone down AGAIN!!!! Sorry (again) folks.

Some days, well most days if I'm honest, I do wonder how anyone puts up with me and yet they do, so there is one thing to be thankful for!

I'm also thankful for my family - they know my many faults, and love me anyway.

I'm thankful that God is God - and He understands what we all go through... and loves us anyway. Thank goodness He is supernatural and a mystery... my poor, finite, human brain can't wrap itself round all the things of God and I'm often relieved about that... the whole thing about faith is making that leap into something not completely known but believing and trusting anyway.

I'm thankful for good friends - most of mine are scattered and I don't get to spend time with them any more... you guys... I love you, appreciate you and I miss you - terribly!

A random smile at the end of a self-pitying rant...

Yesterday, lovely hubby and I decided to go out for the afternoon, quality time and all that... We headed for Bressingham Gardens and Steam Museum, but on the way stopped off at a QD Garden Centre, as you do... well, as I would anyway.
As I exited the car I spotted someone very familiar - Rick Wakeman - yep, the Rick Wakeman... Pink Floyd etc. etc. leaving the shop with his purchases. It made me chuckle... the last time I saw him was years ago, back in Tamworth when I was organising one of his gigs at the local church. Did I stop and say hi? Nah, I smiled and walked by thinking, what are the odds, God?
And the response? We're all human... even genius musicians have to do their shoppping somewhere! Doh!!!

[Bressingham was great - we rode on steam trains and did the 'Dads Army' experience. Life is hard, but not all doom and gloom!]
