This page is to record the latest of my news and challenges I am presently facing and as I am not a fan of Facebook only going there occasionally to catch up with the special people in my life you may call this page my 'blog'
Autumn is rapidly drawing nearer and the nights are thankfully getting a lot cooler The weather here is very conducive to sleeping at least 7 hours per night which is good for restoring our bodies and souls. My almost daily walks are still possible I have just returned from a two week family visit attending my eldest son, Darrel's wedding to Catherine in Secunda. The second weekend of my stay I treated my family; 2 sons, with their wives and my 2 grandchildren to a weekend in my favorite mountains, The Natal Drakensberg staying in a 6 bedded mountain chalet
In terms of my health, thanks be to God I continue to make slow but steady progress following my paralysis after my stroke. Many years ago while on a hike in the Natal Drakensberg our party was caught in a blizzard which resulted in mild frostbite to my fingers. In Dec 2014 while on my mobility scooter my right hand fingers became extremely cold and a few week later blood blisters appeared which slowly turned into scabs and once these fell off new skin tissue appeared making my finger tips extremely sensitive to water. Fortunately I had, from a previous occurrence some latex finger gloves and so wore these whilst showering.The old skin would then slowly peel back similar to sun burnt skin. This process has repeated itself several times and eventually turned septic. Only recently I have been prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatories so with God's healing powers and human drugs my fingers will soon be healed. It has been challenging doing things with scabs on my finger tips! My faith continues to grow each day as am showered with blessings and as my slow healing progresses steadily hardly noticing my own progress but only when I compared myself to what I was only a year ago my home and garden |
The Lord is consistently good to me so I try to remember to daily give thanks for His provision and praise Him for His abundant grace and mercy!
