A very handy web page, should you wish to apply the Prayer Of Examen on your experiences of the past year. In the process, 2022 can become rich harvest that can help with your journey into the new year.

(Thank you, Monique Winn, who told us about it)

A Few Images Of Tafelkop, The Restory's New Home.

At this stage, the lush green grass will be the most wonderful thing of our new place, according to our granddaughter, Ariana.

We know that we face a number of challenges in 2023, but every time we visit Tafelkop and stroll around on the old farmyard, we realize it is ideally suited for what we've envisaged when we came to Wakkerstroom, 9 years ago. As was the case with Barrowfield, we want Tafelkop to be a safe haven where people can rest and listen to their heart of hearts, where God is speaking to them.     

At 2 000 m above sea level, with all those big, old trees, it is indeed "tucked up somewhere in the woods on a hill."

We're all falling and we need a place to hide

A safe place somewhere in the woods we can start the fire

All we know is what would be our home

We will stay 'til the break of dawn

The cold night takes us to a place to escape the chill

Tucked up somewhere in the woods on a hill

Thank you so much for being companions on the journey and for all the wonderful conversations of the past year. We know it won't be any different in the new year. 

Our prayer for you, the beautiful blessing from Deut 33:13-16 (The Message)

Blessed by God be [your] land:

The best fresh dew from high heaven,

and fountains springing from the depths;

The best radiance streaming from the sun

and the best the moon has to offer;

Beauty pouring off the tops of the mountains

and the best from the everlasting hills;

The best of Earth’s exuberant gifts,

the smile of the Burning-Bush Dweller.

The grace, love and intimacy of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, will be with you.‬‬

Much love.
