This one's for Sam!

As the most enthusiastic and faithful reader of our Howes-House web updates, I heartily dedicate this addition to our good friend, Mr Sam Donoghue, husband to the lovely Debbie; a man amongst men. Sam, we salute you!

More house news in the 'Nick & Silje buying a house in Potters Green' saga which began back in November when we nearly bought a house, but didn't. THen we agreed a price on a house on May 1st, and the people still haven't found a place to go to, so we gave up on that, and yesterday agreed a price on another one - 3 bed, really nicely done up, huge conservatory and very nice cooker!! DOes need a good clean though. It's empty so hopefully we can move as quickly as possible and meet our 'have to be out of Nettle Hill by 1st September' deadline.

I have one amazing statement from the Bible to share with you before I get on with my work:

Proverbs 16:15
When the king smiles, there is life; his favor refreshes like a gentle rain. (NLT)

For those who have put their trust in Jesus, the King smiles upon them constantly, not because of their works to please him, but because of their faith in his Son. For such people there is life (in all its fullness) and the joy of living in his favour which gives constant refreshment like gentle rain - something we can reall appreciate in this heatwave we're having. I love that!! God is so good to us and we are blessed to be his people.

Have a great day!! Nick
