Moving back into our house

We moved into our house on the 5th of July, a day after my birthday.  The kids said:  “Mom, you’ll receive your Birthday present tomorrow”.  They definitely did not consider the hard work that was waiting for me.  The excitement was great when the Britania truck parked in front of the house, delivering our household goods and unwrapping our furniture, after 18 months of storage.

Luk 6:47-49  Whoever comes to Me and hears My Words, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like. He is like a man who built a house and dug deep and laid the foundation on a rock; and a flood occurring, the stream burst against that house and could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock. But he who hears and does not perform, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, on which the stream burst, and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.
Joshua 24:15 …but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD

The house have been rented out – there was damage, but we’re grateful for the time that we had tenants in our house.  With time and effort we’ll repair and fix things.  We’re back in the valley and we are coming back – CHANGED!

We asked the kids before we moved from Noordhoek, “What are we taking back to Brackenfell and how will we do things differently now?”  This was their response…

Special thanks to:
Yolandi, a friend that was a life saver.  She helped with the big task of unpacking, putting up curtains and cleaning. 
Sandra prepared a delicious lasagne – I was very thankful to feed the kids after a hard days work, without the worry of cooking dinner the very first night in the house.

Thank you ladies!
