Blessings

This has been a pleasantly social weekend. We had lunch with friends yesterday and today. And not just lunch, but Aussie BBQs! Yay! Sat around and chatted for hours. We could hardly believe the time had gone so fast. Additionally we are blessed with many friends who have a loose hold on things. A spin off of that attitude is that they are generous. Here is a list of things that we've received just in the last two days.

• Two adults bikes on lend for a year.
• A single coffee plunger (for me, the only coffee drinker in the house)
• A packet of ground coffee
• Several bags of hand-me-down clothes for the boys.
• A pair of old, but comfy jeans for me.
• A pair of new black leather ankle boots for me (I needed to replace mine in the next 18 months).
• The promise of one or more desk top computers for the boys.
• A taped video on a topic important to us.
• Half a dozen second hand books for our eldest to read.
• Strap on roller skates for our youngest.
• A dinky magnet thingy to stop me losing my cross-stitch needle.

Amazing, hey! God's blessings are many. Not all are as easy to count as the above. But we continue to be loved by our friends and praise God for their generosity.
