Our God is a God of bounty and blessing. There is a
description of him in the OT where he opens the gates of heaven and scoops out
the blessings. I have just been bathed in those blessings.
Of course we are blessed each and every day, but
occasionally we become aware that we are in an outpouring of blessing which
drenches us and leaves us amazed and grateful. His grace and bounty, his love
and attention to detail, are perfect.
We have had a holiday of a lifetime in Russia, and we will
be digesting the beauty, the challenge, the moments, the history, the
friendships, the love and laughter, for a long time. Being a child of the Cold
War, remembering the Cuban Missile Crisis, identifying Russia as the
enemy...and yet at the same time always sensing a deep longing to visit Russia,
recognising the deep Russian soul and appreciating the literature and music in
particular of that vast country...and now to have visited a tiny part of it
with amazing Russian friends who shared insights and ten days of their lives
with us...a dream come true. A dream I didn’t ever actively dream, and yet it
resonated in my heart and God gave me its fulfilment.
I am just full of gratitude to the God of grace and love.
Bowled over.
