The past week has exhausted me for some reason. I guess Tuesday night’s staying out a little later than usual for Kobus’ birthday took it’s toll on me. Also a lot of things happened in those first couple of days of the week, my mind hasn’t processed all of it yet.
It is Sunday and I decided yesterday already that I’m not going to see anyone. I just want to sleep and quiet my thoughts. It’s worked out well so far. I woke up at 9ish and although the sun was out it was also a bit cloudy, almost misty so I easily slept until 11:30. I was quite surprised to see it’s so late. I went for a shower and not long after I got back, Mawar-one guy that works for Leon, came around with some straps that we’ve been planning to use to secure my tent more before the August wind starts. I was glad to be up and dressed by this time. I didn’t expect them to come around on a Sunday. It took only 3 minutes to put up, but I am thankful to Leon and Mawar for doing this even on a Sunday.
After that I went to the shop to buy half loaf of bread for R4, I was happy to see that they give that option, because I always let my bread get moldy. And that is so wrong, I should really learn a way to not let that happen. Make a sandwich for someone every day…? Oke, I’l try to remember that. A good idea, actually. I should invest in more peanut butter and jam and every day make a sandwich or 2 that I can take with to the mamas and share. Sometimes when I run into someone o n the road, I could also give it to them.
I walked past an old lady with 2 children today with my half-loaf. I recognized her from selling beads on the beach. She doesn’t look very rich. I should have given her something, I realised when I got home. When I took some raisins later, she’d left. I don’t know if she was there hoping to get something, but she didn’t beg and I walked right past. I know she would have been very thankful for any small thing I would’ve given her. I’m sorry that I didn’t. I hope I run into her again soon. And I hope God lends me His heart and His wisdom the next time I come across such an opportunity.
