So to clarify about our move, we feel God is telling us that this house and garden are too big for us if we are to do what he wants us to do, which we believe is working as Waterways Chaplains on the canals. For that reason we have sold the house and are looking for a smaller one with a mooring at the bottom of the garden, however we have not found the right one, so will, at some point, be moving onto our narrow boat. But I sincerely hope it will not happen before Christmas, we are out of the country from 19th December and are certainly not moving in the week before that, so I am desperately hoping our buyers cannot sort out their legal problems until the new year. So 'Yes we are moving' but 'No I am not not tearing my hair out waiting for it to happen'
So my work top this week, just the usual chaos, not really worth taking a picture of it 'cos it looks like so many times before. However what is not on my work top any more is the 70th Birthday for my OH. I spent many hours planning, thinking, discarding and generally worrying over this card and could not decide which idea was best, so in the end I went for them all, so here it is, on the coffee table, (not enough space on the cluttered worktop.)
I have tried to make sure you can read most of the pages.
If somehow dear reader you are wondering why I am bearing my soul, visit the lovely Lady Julia
who hosts these crazy Wednesday get togethers, and see what we all try to share on our desktops.
Well I'll not blather on for the sake of it, Thank you for visiting my page and if you make a comment I most certainly will get back to you.
Bless you
Chris

What a wonderful card you have made for your husband. It must have taken a very long time to make all those pages but so well worth it - and the thinking behind 70 is unbelievable. A truly wonderful card.
So you still have not found a new house? Not to worry, when the right one comes along He will guide you to it.

I adore that card so much - it's the sort of thing my husband would love too!!! Thanks for sharing, that made me laugh :-). I know what you mean about things happening at the right time, am sure you'll come back from holiday and then things will go smoothly. We are in the weeks where we can do nothing except wait for surveys, searches and the like...even if we complete before Christmas we won't move until the New Year.

What a wonderful card! I would never have thought to put all of the sentiments together when I couldn't pick a favorite! As for your new home, all will happen when it is supposed to happen, as I'm sure you already know! Good luck, and thanks for sharing, Lindart #41

Great card, I enjoyed reading every page!! I will keep you in prayer regarding your move, we are moving to in 7 days, cross country. We believe God is leading us too! Have a great week! Ginny#45 WOYWW
Wow, that's such a fab idea for a card, and beautifully executed...
Don't worry about the house move, maybe you're not meant to buy a proper house at all, but are meant to live on the water. Adds a whole new slant to being fishers of men. I guess now you'll be water shepherds. :-D
Keep well!
