Well today I have alot to be thankful for. I can walk out to my back yard and see my flourishing vege patch with all kinds of healthy veges for us to eat. Thank you Lord. I can look around at other parts of the garden and see the beautiful flowers, some already here when we moved in and some I have planted myself just recently.
I am also very thankful that today was a sunny day and I was able to get down to the Sunday markets again and set up a stall with all of the things I have been collecting to sell. And I sold heaps! This time I made a really good profit and only had a very small amount of items left which I donated to the Saint Vincent De Paul store on the way home. I took my little son (4) and my baby (6 months) with me and they were so well behaved. God is good. He provides. And most of the things I sold were given to us in the first place so really we lost nothing. It has been a good day.

Rain

Today we had rain, all day. Was it good? Well YES! I say this because yesterday was such a HOT day and the past week has been quite hot and we are all partially sunburnt so it is great to have a break from the heat. It's funny how in the middle of winter and throughout autumn and spring I wish it would stop raining and then in summer I wish it would. Also it's great to get some rain when I'm flat out busy and watering the garden is on my neverending list of things to do. God waters it for me some days and I thank Him for it. Seems we humans often want what we haven't got and then when we get it we want something else. This can be true in many areas for me marriage, children, work/home, family situations, money etc. I need to try to be content wherever I am, whatever I'm doing.
