Work & House

On Thursday, the boss asked me in for a chat. It turned out the company was happy to convert my temporary contract role into a permanent one. The boss asked if I was willing to accept. I said of course I was – the team is an easy and fun one to work with – and when I told the boss Kiddo has been accepted into MacRobertson High, the boss said good things come in 3’s. So today, I hope the see a fantastic 3rd news confirmed – that of our house. We have virtually sealed the deal for 87 Vicky Street, Forest Hill.

God’s providence in His time, all this. I hope now to put all these in perspective and concentrate on things that matter – God’s work. Last night at the Home Group meeting, there was the usual talk about houses and I suggested it didnt really matter as no matter what sort of house we lived in it would only be our temporary home. We’re going to live is a house for what – 10, 20 years? That’s just a blinking of an eye in terms of eternity isnt it? We’re going to live in eternity in God’s presence – that is our real home.

Nevertheless, it’s great to spend the short time we have here preparing for eternity and little comforts like having a job which is interesting, challenging with fun colleagues and a home with enough space to house guests and play host to visitors – these are fantastic blessings.
