A Whole Seven Weeks! Part Two

Good Friday, 18 April 2014

Monday of the next week, 10 April, saw us at the dentist.
I had a tooth that the filling had fallen out of.
Locket and Brains both needed their yearly check-up.
My filling was done as they'd allowed enough time.
After the Xray the dentist found there was a hole in another tooth.
High up, hard to get to. And I have a small mouth :(
Brains and Locket both needed a small filling in one tooth each.
The decay was in a deep fissure, hard to clean with a brush.
So appointments were made to go back.

Wednesday 12 April Locket had the second session of the 
photography course she is doing with WHEN
Wellington Home Education Network.
Locket has been enjoying this course and taking some lovely photos.
I'll see if I can get her permission to share some of her photos.
They went to Frank Kitts Park to take photos.

On the Friday I got my hair cut. I hadn't had it cut for over a year.
It had grown quite long.

Before
After

There are quite a few "Wisdom Threads" in my hair now!
Aka "white hairs" :)
It's still long enough to tie back if I need to.
Easier to look after. It was getting too tangled.

Sunday16th March was Moneypenny's birthday.

Happy Birthday to you, Moneypenny!

It was also the day that I got together with some friends from college days.
We all went to Wellington Girls' College 
We haven't all been together for around 30 years.
It was a great catch up at Sweet Mother's Kitchen
I hadn't been there before. The others suggested where to go.
It was a good choice and I enjoyed the meal. 

Earlier in the day we'd sung In Christ Alone 
The lyrics had been running through my head the rest of the day. 
The lyrics mean a lot to me.
 

In Christ Alone 

Stuart Townend, Keith Getty

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

I went to bed with the lyrics still running through my head.
Feeling blessed to meet up with my college friends :)
And to have wonderful family and friends.



Lyrics

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! - who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe.
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand:
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
