Long Weekend

It's the Jubilee weekend in a couple of days. The Queen is ace, but with all the events surrounding this wonderful event, we must be sure to put God in the centre of it all too. So yes Keep Calm and Carry On, but Pray too!

Rain, Reign

It's absolutely throwing it down here today. It has been for about a week. One newspaper headline read 2 months of rain in 48 hours. The drains are barely coping, umbrellas are permanently in our hands and the holes in my trainers aren't great! It;s funny though how we're still in a hosepipe ban however that's a different story!

Our front roof over the bay window in the lounge is leaking! I had a tin of emergency repair stuff which I went out with in my waterproofs and attempted to sort the roof out. I don't think it worked. I'm not great with heights and standing on the ladder in the high winds and rain was a nightmare for me. The roof is still leaking! I'll try again once the rain ceases.

When i was perched on top of the ladder though I kept myself calm by singing one of the songs from this morning's church service. It kind of worked. I also thought about how we've had a ridiculous amount of rain, but at the same time a ridiculous amount of people don't believe in Him reigning. So many countries in this world need rain, so many countries also need reign.

My wife creates greetings cards as part of her graphic design and I think the one in the picture sums up just what our Lord did for us, and continues to do.

I also found a bible quote which kind of sums our leaky roof issues up:

Laziness leads to a sagging roof; idleness leads to a leaky house. - Ecclesiastes 10:18

The previous owners of our house may well have left us with some problems and we must turn that laziness and idleness around to make our house rain proof and reign-filled!
