The boys are back

Posted by Shirley Anne on March 10, 2010

Last year E had asked her nephew to do some work constructing another driveway to our house. He worked through the summer months and made a really professional job. He worked for us when he had the time or when his workload was low which was ok by us because we didn’t want him to turn down work elsewhere. We benefitted by having it done less expensively and as we were in no hurry for the work to be completed all was fine. He hadn’t been back since the weather turned cold before Christmas but E had asked him to finish the job as soon as he could find the time. He arrived back today with a work-mate and they are continuing with the work. The drive is almost complete but there is a wall or two to build yet. When he has finished we hope he’ll be able to do a couple of other jobs that need tackling.

Forgive me for I have sinned

Posted by Shirley Anne on March 10, 2010

Only those who appreciate and love God, obviously believers, will understand what I am saying here. Others will think it a moral issue. Yesterday I went out to lunch, ok, dinner with E. On the way home we stopped off at a supermarket to buy milk, diet cola, wine and some batteries for a clock. I was carrying the bottles indoors and had reached the inner door when the bag carrying the wine burst open and one of the three bottles dropped on the mat. Unfortunately the bottom of the bottle gave way and I lost the whole contents. I was furious, not only because I lost the wine but the fact that the other two bottles have now cost me more in real terms. I would much rather give things away than lose them. I was angry. After a couple of minutes I relented but it shows how easily we can sin. To those who are atheists this has a different meaning but to those who believe in God it is very important. We cannot help but sin, it is in our nature but we can make a stand against it and when we see it in ourselves we repent and turn away from it. At the end of the day we ask for forgiveness and make an attempt not to do it again. Unfortunately we do not succeed but thanks be to God we can be forgiven through the sacrifice made on our behalf by Jesus. Forgive me Lord for I have sinned……………..Love
