Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Welcome to my little writing corner. I count my many blessings to be a cherished wife and an ever-learning-loving-growing mother to 3 amazing children this side of Heaven and a precious little boy in Heaven. Together as a family we pastor a precious church community called Redeeming Hope Church. I've had the privilege of loving and following Jesus Christ since my earliest memories as a child. No matter what I've gone through in life, He has always been so present. At heart, I'm an encourager ... so this is a place where I get to wear my heart on my sleeve and share my journey of learning to live a life of love in action.

It's Raining!!!!!!

Hallelujah!!! It's raining!!! I cannot tell you how excited we are. The Eastern Cape has been in serious drought for over a year already! Our little pool that we bought has stood empty for over a year ... all the grass is brown ... but now comes a celebrated reprieve in the drought and we are going all out to celebrate God's blessing to us. 
Just look at how happy my flowers are ...
 Even our Sabie boy is lying out in the gentle rain, soaking up the cool breeze.
As for us ... well we are smelling the warm aroma of waffles sizzling in the pan ...
Don't you just love all the happy faces =0)

After a late brunch we cuddled behind the piano working out a new little tune. My sweet 6 year old took this pic of us.  
Precious Jesus, thank you for your gentle rain that fills our hearts with so much joy!!! Thank you for the many ways that you love us each day. All we really need to have a great day is Your beautiful love!
Sending a BIG hug to each of you my precious bloggy friends today.
Much love xxx
Janine
