When I needed help you were right there. Sometimes I don’t even know how you knew, but you did and you were there. You made no demands of me. You saw I was burdened and told me to rest. You patiently waited as my stubborn way bucked against the wise counsel. Your rebuke was not […]
Read More Appreciating AssistanceThings appeared to be done for me. That’s understandable when I was a child. That was the expected thing. Who supplied my clothes? My parents. Who sorted out the food? My parents. Who dealt with the housing? My parents. Who fixed the transport? My parents. Sorted. That evidently began to change when there were small […]
Read More ArrangementsI enjoy my smartphone I recognise that I use it for quite a lot of things as it’s really useful for the apps. A friend remarked to me recently how dependent we in the privileged West have become on those apps. There must be an app for it somehow. App for shopping, app for banking, […]

She wasn’t able to do the hairdressing job she wanted to do because of […]
Read More AbnormalA number of people I know and indeed love enjoy eating cheese. Notice. I still love them. That’s truly amazing, because I don’t like cheese. At all. In fact I’ve been known to say I despise the stuff. So to still love those who enjoy something I hate is testament to the mercy and grace […]
Read More AppetiteToday is my wife’s birthday. I have been a witness to 15 of these now and on some of these occasions I have left a note on here about her. It felt right to do so again because of one overwhelmingly endearing aspect of her character. Among the many reasons why I love this beautiful […]
Read More AuthenticityRelentlessly working appears to be an admirable quality in some. Activity to activity, program to program, the energy required is unceasing and the ability to manage hectic schedules is seen as a strength.
