This weekend we had the unpleasant experience of being broken into. We had left Saturday morning to go and spend some time with friends who were leaving to return to Germany. When we arrived back at the house after a few hours we found the door lock had been broken off and some of our items taken. It was a bit of an eerie feeling knowing that somebody or people had gone through your things and helped themselves to computers, kindles, nintendos etc. However, we are grateful that they didn't come when we were at home and that none of us were harmed in the incident. Simon spent some time at the Police station and driving the Police up to our house so they could do an "investigation".
Joshua and Zara were very upset to find some of their things taken but are doing well now. They haven't had trouble sleeping since it happened so we are thankful for that. We assured them that they were just "things", even although they were precious to them, but can be replaced in time. Zara ran straight into her room to make sure Dolly was still there. She was very relieved that they hadn't taken Emily :)
Simon happens to be on leave this week which is good timing as we will need to review our security at the house. I am also thankful that he is home and has no overnights this week. Last week he was overnighting in Sudan so I am grateful its not this week. God is still in charge and is a God of perfect timing.
A couple of friends sent Psalm 91 to us this weekend. Great words for such a time as this. Thanks to all of you who contacted us this weekend. We are doing fine and taking one day at a time.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I hope you have insurance to help cover some of the cost of the lost items. I expect that they won't be returning as they most likely already got what they considered valuable. Nevertheless we will pray for peace that surpasses understanding...
