Sunday Blessings - Hand Me Another Brick

Neh 2:18
Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for [this] good [work].

Neh 2:20

Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: ...

The building work is progressing.

The men piled the bricks near the building site.

Below you can see another man breaking the bricks into small pieces to

line the foundation.

This work is done by hand, as we don 't have machines.

And he is doing it with a hammer.

Today with the church collection money we bought a dhurmut an iron

instrument to break stones and level the ground.

I will photograph it and show it to you.

This is the trench for the foundation


Tomorrow we are hiring two bricklayers or masons and six workmen
to raise the raise wall.
We have already bought the cement and sand to make the concrete.

Please pray for me. Tomorrow I have a busy morning.
House-work, Bank and a court hearing.

There is high security at the District Court (pictured on the left) due to bomb threats.They are frisking people etc.

Our city has had several bomb scares which turned out to be hoaxes.I got a text message from the Police cautioning against rumours and unidentified objects lying around.

A little while ago we heard on the news that there has been an explosion in Kolkata (Calcutta) some people have died.

A few nights ago the police caught a suspicious foreign national

(neighbouring country) with no papers or identification prowling around outside our train staion.

Only the Lord can keep us secure

The Lord is my strength

and my shield

my heart trusts in Him.

Psalm 28;7
