The Day

The day is ending.

I paid £40 at the dentist to have pain at the start of the day. Ithought today that the dentist is just one of those placess where you need to use the Francis ofAssissi principle (use words when necessary), although it’s more of a ‘can’t use words so just smile’! It’s impossible to share anything with a numb mouth with people drilling holes inside it.

After visiting Den and Sha it was time to take Joe for his Birthday Party at Kid Zone in Rochester. Other people’s children are so delightful! Joe had a great time, and us adults had a great time too catching up and chatting over coffee.

Before the football I was able to have a little ‘hello’ type chat with my good friends Mal and (the rapidly expanding) Abby before the match kicked off. We won (have I said that?) and then I had a couple of pints with Pete.

I’m looking back on the day and just marvelling of the variety that one can pack into a day. It’s amazing. On days like today it is so east to see where God is – in the wonder of friendships, in the beauty of the countryside, in the passion of football support, in the trust between friends, in the miracle of child birth and pregnancy, in the wonder, amazement and trust of children and in the plain simple ability to be! God in the community, God whom we need to point out to others as they let him pass by un-noticed. Mission!

Tomorrow I need to be in Luton for a day long Leadership Team meeting of YFC which starts at 915. So I guess I should be thinking of turning in as I need to eave at 630ish to guarantee being there on time. Hopefully I’ll get there early and get a decent breakfast before we start!
