More Grace Than I Deserve?

My wife has become a sounding board for my more stupid "things". This has led to a decrease in stupid "things" making their way onto t'internet etc. It also means that she bears the brunt of my stupidity and saves the world from a fair chunk of it.

At times it is amusing, other times it is sad and no doubt frustrating for her. Through it all I am amazed at her kindness and compassion towards me. She has made me a better person and as in her profession she has taught me many things.

Case in point when I wanted to rant about someone complaining about a by-product of the very thing they've been wanting for ages she rightly nudged me towards silence! Time and place and a whole heap of grace.

All this grace reminds me how blessed I am, how generous our God is. How I really should complain a lot less and help a lot more. We have been shown grace so we can show grace to others.

As my good friend pulled me up short this morning; my journey to work was troublesome and wet but instead of using the time productively I wasted it... If only he'd text me an hour earlier!

One Day To Go

I'm sitting here in the office (it's after 5pm so am off the clock as such so no need to be concerned!) staring out my window. Am looking at the grey skies which have opened up and rained forth their load and I must confess to be rather looking forward to flying off to India. I'll quite literally get an Indian Summer, for 4 weeks at any rate!

I may well add to this blog later, but then again I am off to the pub so that probably won't happen. See you at a pub (Hobgoblin or Swan and Bottle depending on the timings and locations you make) or see you on the other side. Or rather "see you" via this blog, facebook, email, text for the next 4 weeks.
