Wow! What a God we serve!   We've had a really encouraging weekend, a good turn out at our fireworks evening on Friday. It was nice to have a little bit of time with 3 of my nieces and nephews there, they make me smile and are all so lovely. We had some great conversations in town on Friday night while out street pastoring, it was quite lively and lots of celebrating, all good natured fun though. 

On Saturday I managed to hem and hang the curtains in Kelly's room, spruce it all up, clean the carpet and clear it out. John assembled the desk and it all looks wonderful in there now. We put the PC together and it's all now ready to be used as office space when Kelly's not sleeping in there!

On Sunday morning we had a packed full Church with 5 new families represented, it was great to see the place full of children all playing together after the service, and also to hear what they had been learning about at the Holiday Bible Club last week. So many of them remembered the memory verses and learnt the song, it was great to see and hear. God is at work and it's so encouraging to be part of it. We had a lovely lunch after the service and it was great to chat to some new people. I enjoyed a quiet afternoon home alone, it's very quiet when John's at work, Kelly's at uni and Amy's out - nice but I'm still not used to it. It was good to chat with different folks after the evening service and discuss all the recent encouragements. It's such a joy to experience God's goodness and love in so many ways, to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and to share it all with people I love.
