Our son has a job interview today at a lighting company of some kind. The pay is less than wonderful, but it would be better than nothing, plus it would be another chance to enhance his skill set. He is so worried that the eczema over his eyelids will rob him of getting the work as I guess it looks rather gruesome. He is going to see an eye doctor to see if he needs something stronger or different than the medicated ointment I mailed to him this morning. In fact, he is so freaked out about his appearance he is stopping at a Halloween store on the way to the interview to get a patch to cover the worst looking eye lid.
His email this morning was encouraging though. He still remembers much of the first 3 books of Job he had to memorize at the age of 7 for his school's Scripture memory programme and he is drawing great encouragement from the way God seemed to think Job was trustworthy enough to continue to grow in his faith despite all the horrible things happening to him. Our son is feeling as though his present trials could be an indication that God is paying attention to him and wanting to show him yet another level of trusting God to be God no matter what is going on in life. His email certainly encouraged my husband and I to hang onto the peace of heart and mind we have been enjoying despite our son's current messes.
We had a pleasant drive to Moose Jaw very early this morning. The head wind wasn't quite as bad as it often is and the sun began to shine. After we dropped the car off at the shop for its winter tire changeover, we took a walk for a half hour up and down the main streets. Despite a chilly wind we enjoyed it because we had on our warm coats, hats and gloves. As soon as the nearest pharmacy opened up we got in line for our 'flu' shots and were second and third in line. We were only there for 45 minutes, including the required 15 minute post innoculation wait to see if there would be an allergic reaction. Turned out the pharmacy also had a Canada Post outlet so I got my posting done. We arrived back at the shop just as the mechanic was about to call us and let us know the car was ready. Perfect timing. We were back home by 10:45am.
Now the sun is shining brightly, we are almost at our forecast high of +12C, the wind is moderate and we are relaxing after eating the leftovers from last night's pub grub for lunch. Tonight I have some chicken samosas ready and will make a big salad to go with them. Yum!!
Well, it is nearly time for us to watch at least one of the boxing matches I recorded on the weekend. My husband is puttering in the basement and will spend some time over the next couple of days tweaking this coming weekend's presentation on living in forgiveness. The particular group we are presenting to are just the best: so engaged, so eager to hear the Scriptures, so anxious to learn more ways those Bible verses can be used in practical daily living. I am happy we get to return to this group and get to know them better.
