A special place in the heart of God

Hi to all

It has been a touch of heaven today after an emotion ripping week, we spent the day at swimming pool set under a beautiful mountain. TheStreetlight trust books this for all the Kanglugan children and young people to come together with all their visits. These Children only come swimming at the pool once a year, so to see the joy on their faces swimming, laughing playing volleyball and basketball was just awesome. Lots of time to chat to the staff and children. At the end of the day everyone gathered for devotions. We worshipped together, the sense of the love of God was overwhelming. These children and young people know more than any of us the reality of God's life transforming power and it shines from them. Not a dry eye in any of us.

Lord forgive us for our lack of love, please change our hearts to love without measure.

On a lighter note i have reached the overdose limit on Filpino food I just can't face anymore rice, chillis or fish!Where's the roast beef and yorkshire Pud!

Sounds an awesome day! Shame about the roast beef, I'm sure you'll survive without it for a bit longer.
Lots of love and prayers, Kathy and the girls xxxx

Thanks for writing, the blog really helps us feel like we're with you guys and helps us to hold you up in prayer. Can't believe it is half time already.

Stock up on the spicy, it is all bland back here.

Phil 4: 4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Fed up of Filipino food? Surely not! I'm sure you'll find a Wetherspoons if you look hard enough...
I remember the day at the pool and the worship afterwards. We can learn so much about true worship from these guys.
Tell Ian it is not Sun City - he told me that's where you had booked.
Praying for you all continually,
