favour from the Lord

i'm on-call this weekend, & although i dread weekend calls, it's part of the job. left for the hospital at 9am today & had to skip church service (as well as holy communion).

at 10.30am, the boy phoned to say that he's just outside the OT & he's got a surprise for me...

how nice - lunch!



...& the main (& only course) happens to be freshly-baked shepherd's pie...


which didn't last very long....
(burp!)

i don't often blog about my wife but today, she deserves praise...
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favour from the LORD. prov 18:22

even better is this....

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. prov 31:30

Ah ... so sweet of you to recognise the effort made by your wife! I wish my husband would appreciate and praise me like that! hahaha

Ilene,

your husband probably does, maybe not in so many words or biblical verses. guys are generally not very expressive, except maybe lawyers(??)

Joepsc,

this makes me wonder - how would a Christian plastic surgeon react on reading these verses??
