Deep Waters
Was at a wedding yesterday, spoke at it and stayed for the reception, another first for me since loosing Jill. Funny how I can keep up all day then get into the car and go to bits. Guess thats just the time I miss her most when I'm heading home.
I was given some flowers from the wedding so I went to her grave and give them to her. They where pink so she'd like them.
Another one of those lonely days even though there where people everywhere. Its amazing how lonely you can be in a crowd. Its made me read faces a little more and maybe be a little less judgemental of those who seem detatched from whats going on.
Psalm 18:4 says "The ropes of death entangled me, floods of destruction swept over me. Verse 6 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord...my cry to Him reached His ears. (I love that bit) verse 16 He reached down from heaven and rescued me, He drew me out of DEEP WATERS.
These are my deepest waters but I am putting my trust in a God who delivers, restores, redeems, rescues and what more Loves His kids.
I realize that I have to learn how to live without Jill and thats so hard but I could never live without Him, He will draw me out of the DEEP WATERS.
Love yas, have a great Lords day.

Hi Phil
Just reading your blog and we are reminded of time when we were on holiday at the Whiterocks in Portrush with Mappers and Mum and Dad. Mappers was very young and he was sitting at the edge of the water and we were a little ways up the beach. It was a beautiful day and the sea was quite calm. Suddently we heard Mappers cry and scream, a freak and deep wave (deep for a 3 year old) had rolled onto the beach and was pulling him under. We began to run to rescue him but dad was there, he walked into the water, lifted him up and cradled him in his arms. Mappers just clung on and after a time the tears ceased and he just lay there resting in Dad's arms. We thank God, that your Abba holds you in his arms and after a while the tears will cease and you will rest.
Psalm 62 - 6-8. Love you H&J
