sun!

Just in case you were wondering the sun has been shining the last few days, God surely must have been smiling down on me! next timeI'll have to pray not to be in work so I can enjoy it!!!
So this weekend the Capernwray students are coming for the ten day outreach, which is pretty exciting, it is always the highlight of our church calendar. These young people come in and all of a sudden its like we all hang out as a church and have social event after social event and lots of extra stuff going on and we all just mesh.
How weird that it was us last year. I really can't believe it has been a year since that. We were all furiously ploughing through our Old Testaments, and in our groups case holding our arms up to practice for our puppets, oh how we laughed!!!! The end was so great, everyone trying to make the most of the last few weeks. [If this stupid blog would let me I'd post some pictures at this stage]
I sometimes wish we could have our turn again and do it all again, but then I remeber what Stacie tells me and has hung up on her bedroom wall, a quote from Hans Peter chicken, that our mission in life is to love the people in front of us right now. I guess that goes hand in hand with making the most of what we've got now, rather than dwelling on what I wish we still had. So I guess as I go forth and go shopping in Bolton today I'll smile at all the grumpy sales assistants and not think negatively about all the Scallies!!!!
