Life's like that..................

My husband returned today after a week-end working away.  Discussing the work he had been doing in Belfast he said it was possibly the most stressful time he can remember during his employment with the company and that has been over ten years!  Nothing went right; he spent sleepless nights, literally, with colleagues trying to resolve endless problems and at times there seemed no light at the end of the tunnel.  He felt quite low, frustrated and to top it all he was miles from home.  If you knew my husband you would know it takes a lot and I mean a lot to dampen his spirits

We hadn't been able to touch base with each other fully as we were pretty occupied this end as well!  In the end he said he was just walking at one point and having a conversation with the Lord in order to get some inspiration.  Finally, last night he began to experience a breakthrough...................

Life's like that isn't it.  Despite our best efforts things don't always go to plan or we are let down in one way or another.  Thank goodness that our heavenly Father is there to walk alongside us, there to pick up the pieces of our frustrations, there to cushion our weary heads, to hold on tight when we feel like letting go.  What an absolute privilege to belong to him.

Well together my hubby and I shared our week-end tales, but more than than any thing else it was soon forgotten by the breadth of the smiles and warmth of the embraces that greeted him, both from his crew as well as our visiting choir family.  Things didn't seem so bad after all and for this (day 126) I offer up my heart felt thanks to the One who deserves it.
