Sunrise

Morning lovelies!

We've had such gorgeous weather here the past week that the sunrises have been lovely...

Here's a shot Joe took out of our bedroom window this morning :)

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Lots of love...

Saturday morning exploring

On Saturday morning Joe and I got up earlier than usual and decided to go on a little exploring adventure to experience the sun rising over the city on this perfect Autumn morning in Cape Town.

We parked a Arnold's - our final destination and walked along the little roads till we got to De Waal Park. 

 We always drive past and say we should go inside, but never seem to have the opportunity.

Here is what we found :)

After some exploring we headed to Arnold's for our morning coffee and the Chef's Breakfast - one of the best deals in town!

Have a good week!

Photo catch up

Hello my lovelies!

I realised recently that quite some time has passed since I shared anything with you.
Sorry about that!
I'm sure (hope) that it's not only me that feels like this year is passing by way to quickly!
I just can't seem to keep up :)

I thought what better way to catch up quickly than with some photos!
I will elaborate on some of them with their own posts soon, so keep a look out...

Enjoy and see you again soon!
Big hug, T xxx

Have faith and wait...

Wait
by Russell Kelfer

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate . . .
And the Master so gently said, "Wait." 


"Wait? you say wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word. 


"My future and all to which I relate
Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to wait?
I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign,
Or even a 'no' to which I can resign. 


"You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
And Lord I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply." 


Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate,
As my Master replied again, "Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,
And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting for what?" 


He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine...
and He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.


"I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of my love for each saint.
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.


"You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair;
You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
When darkness and silence are all you can see.


"You'd never experience the fullness of love
When the peace of My spirit descends like a dove.
You would know that I give, and I save, for a start,
But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.


"The glow of my comfort late into the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask
From an infinite God who makes what you have last.


"You'd never know, should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
But, oh, the loss, if you missed what I'm doing in you.


"So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see
That the greatest of gifts is to truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still . . . Wait."
