An Eicher day - redux

November 14th has just slipped into history. From our domestic perspective it was packed to the gills.

A brief summary - morning Enoch got dressed up for his fancy dress at school. At 7.40 I went to the office which was blessed with electricity for almost the whole time. Mrs. Maninder's two children came to our place at 9. Asha and Sheba looked after them till Sheba went to the clinic at 11. Enoch came back at 11.30 and Asha left for her school at 12. I returned home at 1 for lunch with Enoch. We put him to sleep for the afternoon. A quick pop-over to the office at 2 when Sheba came back from the clinic. Then our weekly staff meeting at our home from 3.30 to 6. Asha came home early because it was 'Children's Day.' In between phone calls on a number of issues.

After 6 we unwound a bit. Jolly from church wanted me to meet a family with him so I went at 7.30. While there bought some roses and was back by 8.30 to wish Sheba a happy 9th engagement anniversary.
The roses with our engagement photo - 9 years ago to the day!

Then a quick supper and prayer. Up to the terrace at 9.30 PM. For what? Our housing co-op society's annual general meeting (normally we would be attending the Friday night bible study at that time).

The AGM had its normal level of shouting. But actually had a note or two of sanity - the first time in the 3 years where we have attended a meeting with some modicum of order. Five minutes into our participation Enoch announced that he had to go to the toilet. Down went Sheba with him. She then called to say he has diarrhoea. When I got back from the meet at 11.30 PM he had already gone 8 times!

Its going to be a short night. Through all of the experiences we have we must hold on to the Word which says: Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. We have some wonderful training going on in how to live life to the fullest!
