And his heart was filled with love

Sarah asked me to read the book, 'Ragged Bear' to her this morning. It's one of my favourite stories about a toy bear who gets left behind in the rain one day, but is later rescued by another child. He is then mended and cared for.

The youth group girls gave the book to me and the girls almost two years ago, along with a huge box of other goodies. They were so thoughtful - I had a good cry when they dropped around with the surprise!!

I love the end of the story, '... he was the happiest teddy in the world. He was still old - and a little bit worn - but he was no longer ragged and torn. And his heart was filled with love.'

Sharing Life

Life is better shared.

This is real life

As a significant birthday approaches, I look back over the last ten years or so and wonder whether it all really happened, sometimes it feels like a movie - surely this isn't my life! But it is. Here I am today, having been through a whole lot of experiences I never thought possible. But the future is filled with new possibilities, and new opportunities to share other people's journeys with them.
