Great morning at church yesterday. Mike "just" encouraged us at church to think about Nahum 1: 7 "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him".
A simple verse, and yet as we corporately began to silently meditate on these 4 phrases, I felt - as I think many did - an awesome moment of thankfulness. The whole service, both in adult church and Discoverers, seems to have incorporated an Attitude of Gratitude. The sermon got abandoned, as we just enjoyed fellowshipping with one another - really lovely.
Had a super pizza lunch with some freinds, and it was good to unwind for a few hours.
Spent quite a while in the evening helping Andy with his UCAS application. Apparently, the fact that he had OK'd his forms and Personal Statement ( which seem to be as vital as a CV!) with his teacher, but had not shown it to us as his parents, had slipped past him! All fixed now, with a little help from John (on the data content) and myself (on the spelling, syntax and grammar!)
Hardly seems possible that Andy has made it this far. Having Asperger's sundrome, we were told that things would be very differnt for him in particular. It really is a triumph of God's grace that he has got this far academically, so we shouldn't be annoyed by something that just proves that God can make ways where there seem to be no ways.
Pat's thought for the Day:
Gratitude should be like underwear - you need something fresh every day!
Don't allow circumstances to rob you of a new opportunity to see God at work in yor life, and in the life of those you love.
