My Husband

I am so proud of my husband!


As a consequence of factors outside his control, his contract in London came to an abrupt end several weeks before it should have done.  He finished work on Friday and as he did so he made a phone call to an agency which he often uses when he is between contracts.  There was no-one there at the time and he left a message on their answering machine letting them know that he was available for work.  It is a mark of the good reputation which he has built for himself that this morning, on the first working day since Friday (because of the Bank Holiday), he got woken up by a phone call from the agency offering him work this afternoon with the Royal Mail.  Whilst it isn't good pay and won't enable us to meet all our commitments it will put food on the table and we are grateful to God for this provision.   My husband is not used to manual labour and finds the work physically very taxing and at times very painful as it caused him a repetitive strain injury the first time he did it and that injury has flared up each time he has done it since, but he keeps on going and takes every shift which is offered to him.
