he day started at 5.00am I just couldn't sleep with pictures and ideas going rounnd in my head... I gave up trying to sleep, got up wrote it all down and crawled into bed for an hour...
Assembly next for the infants (4-7's ) at Clackclose school, we told the story of creation, they got to be fish and animals and birds... they love people coming in to tell them stories...
Home lunch and a swim then Tuesday Fellowship.. then other end of the age range, a good open discussion though..we've decided to approach the school to see if the R.E. and Philosophy classes would like to come for an informal discussion. These people have lived through so much, war and personal disasters and yet retained their faith, in this youth driven culture they are seen as old and irrelevant and yet they have so much to give... I'll approach the school next week!
At home I managed to get a bit of housework done ...so all is well on that front. The twins have a busy week... Jon has the Lead role in Toad of Toad Hall (he gets to wear a fat suit! ) while Jo has a paying concert 4 shows playing viola for Gilbert and Sullivans The Sorcerer...
Chris is struggling with his study and with the fact that his leg is not healing...he still has no sensation in it, we see the Orthapaedic surgeon next week...
Emma has her last concert in Canterbury Cathedral as a Uni student... she graduates this summer...
I just went to Tai-Chi, it was a good class...
Life is so full sometimes it seems too much, our finances are stretched but we have so much to be thankful for, unlike so many people in the world I have never been hungry or cold or lacked a place to sleep...I want to see more integrity in my life more orthodoxy more authenticity...more simplicity...
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference....--Reinhold Niebuhr
