redjellybeans and chicken soup (but not together)
the cat rolling on the carpet
the Bible, parachuting me out of early morning gloom
a cup of tea, white with two sugars
praying friends and texts when I’m feeling bleugh
books! It’s raining outside but I’m splattered in tomatoes at a carnival in Florence
the endless patience of Jesus. I forget Him and ignore Him and run from Him and pour out my heart to Him and still He loves ME! Amazing
connections with strangers: conversations at the check-out or in the bus queue
my parents: an endless source of entertainment
bubblewrap and special edition postman pat stamps
church family: like a rock, reminding me who I am and where I belong
the gospel: truth even when nothing else makes sense
the roar of a church filled with heart-felt singing
old photos of friends from school
never having to do another quadratic equation as long as I live
today. Thankful for today.
Amen.
I find Ephesians 5:3 really challenging. Be thankful as a antidote to sin!

A friend to talk to and cry with in the early hours of the morning, and the technology which enables us to do that across an ocean.
Live music with small artists who encourage and build up, reminding us to keep fighting.
Stationery with which I can put my efforts into my frustrating & difficult education which in itself is a blessing beyond my comprehension.
Youth leaders who cuddle and support with inhuman patience.
Amen!
