I like surprises.
Some people don’t.
This weekend I had a number of surprises, some little, some bigger!

The surprise of Michael’s mum taking Tom and Michael to football training enabled me to do a bit more needed study for my mission fieldwork assignment.
The the little surprise of an unexpected comment from one of my Children.
The surprise of racing down the motorway in a BMW was exhilarating.
The surprise of a meal with good friends on Saturday night.
The surprise of seeing Cassie and Chris in church was an unexpected nicety (had to say that as Chris paid me!)

Surprises are great at reminding us what is important to us. When we get stuck, lose heart, wonder if its worth carrying on; that is the time to recall the surprises of life.
