Eve’s Daughter

I had read the following from ‘I’m Not Crazy, I’m Just A Little Unwell’ by Leigh Hatcher and went “God, I wish someone would offer us a holiday (big sigh)…”

‘…A handful of very special people walked alongside my family and me every step of the journey. They were there, often with impeccable timing, to give us support, both practical and emotional. They wrote, rang and visited (always checking first if a visit was appropriate). Sometimes they even cooked and gardened for us, helped us out financially, or organised transport for our kids. One dear woman from our church organised for a meal to be dropped around for us every week. Two other families generously offered us the use of holiday apartements, both at the beach. Each offer came at exactly the right time for our family, espepcially our marriage…’ 

 

That was about 9am on Friday 27th of July. A couple of hours later T calls out asking if I want to go on a holiday. Friends of ours who have timeshare had booked themselves a week, but would only be able to stay from Friday to Monday arvo and had offered us the rest of the week there for free!! All we had to pay for was the port-a-cot hire.

Needless to say, I was gobsmacked and stoked. I told T about what I’d read and what I’d said. I told him, ‘I didn’t really pray as such, I just said to God that it would be really, really nice if someone offered us a holiday’. In fact, it was probably more a bit of a whine, than a prayer! But despite that, God had listened to the cry of my heart and he knew how much we needed a holiday. I realised later that it had thirteen months since we had last had a week away - that’s a long time between drinks.

We are really, really looking forward to this holiday - it’s only a few days, but they will be a wonderful few days. We know that God is going to bless us and it will be just what we need. We have such a wonderful, awesome God!
