What a week! A week of unpacking and
yet stopping every so often to look out the window at the beautiful countryside
front and back. The same day as the men had problems getting the piano from
Cheshunt it took an hour for delivery men to
get the cooker into the kitchen here! In the end they had to wheel it across the
raspberry patch with the wheels sinking into the ground in places, but no damage
was done and so our cooker has arrived! We have spoken a bit more to Andy next
door, Hannah and Steve in number 7 and Will from the village who has been
repairing their dry stone wall. We’ve met John in the field with the horses and
kind Roger and Daphne from number 8 who took me into Chippenham to pick up
Julian’s painkillers as he is now in bed with his poorly back and can’t
move.
“We are often confused by the events
around us. Some things we will never understand until later years when we look
back and see how God was working. This proverb counsels us to not worry if we
don’t understand everything as it happens. Instead we should trust that God
knows what He’s doing, even if His timing or design is not clear to us.” So read
the NLT notes for one of our readings last week. The proverb is ‘How can we
understand the road we travel? It is the Lord Who directs our steps.’ The
connecting Psalm reads ‘The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He
delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not
fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.’ I don’t know how I came across that
last week or how I found it again to write it in here, but perfect timing
nonetheless.
