Cam had tonsillitis this week, so unfortunately we didn’t get to take him on his first camping trip as planned. I know that canceling a couple days in the Pilanesberg is no big deal, but we were really disappointed because we’d been looking forward to it for ages. However, it reminded me again to rest in God’s knowledge of what is, in fact, best. Cam is all better now; Murray took the week’s leave anyway to study for the optom exams he’s writing in the UK next month; and it was great to have a quiet, unexpected week all together at home. (Some pics to follow…)
I thought it might be cool to share with you some of the books that we’ve read over this past year. Some were new to us; some were books we’d read before but needed to revisit, for peace and perspective. Through so many pages of so many books, God has introduced us to amazing people who have counseled, encouraged, comforted and enlightened.
To mention but a few...:
Trusting God (Jerry Bridges)
Is God really in control? (Jerry Bridges)
Children with Visual Impairments – a parents’ guide (Edited by M. Cay Holbrook)
Walking with God (John Eldredge)
Don’t waste your life (John Piper) (I think everyone on the planet should read this book at least once a year…)
Calm my anxious heart (Linda Dillow)
When Heaven is silent (Ronald Dunn)
When God doesn’t make sense (James Dobson)
And I think there were others… And then there was Louis Giglio’s DVD series on Hope – amazing!
‘So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while.’ – 1 Peter 1:6
