The kids are away swimming in the loch just by our house with their friends as we enjoy the first really warm summer since 2009.
And I must begin to Blog again!
I've been working as a cook for Highland Council for nearly a year now - this time last year, it was a real struggle to make ends meet, but all through God did some amazing providing, especially when He called on us to be generous and hosptiable with the little we had - and it was little - the sort of thing that I know many families in the UK face daily at the moment. Will this £4 be enough to get the food we need for the next couple of days?????
I remember last summer there was one week where things were pretty tight, I'd done a lot of baking for something as well and I remember really praying for God to provide and being quite fed-up with the situation. The phone goes, my friend has just had a family wedding, 'Come up to the house with lots of pots - there's lots of food left over and you must have some!' A very yummy couple of days' meals followed!
God meets our needs, and goes on meeting them and knowing them.
This past year we have had to replace our hoover, our cooker, one of our cars and our washing machine! The cooker died last week.
Grimace. Grimace. BUT all the time we didn't have the means to replace them, God looked after us - our appliances kept going - most miraculous the car which drove us up here on our first ever visit and lasted ever since! Our shoes did not wear out!
There is no reason why God should take extra special care of Clan Jarvis and not you! So keep casting those cares, keep on walking in His care - He will preserve you. xxx
