Bare essentials.๐Ÿ’Ž

                        Holy Spirit fill us and use us for the greater glory of God. Amen

First catch-up since Paulina’s unjust departure from our town last August. Dining merrily, no chairs, standing room only.

First bus journey in one whole year, jolly driver generous of spirit. First ‘Free pass’ trip for Mary, ‘open road’ now - if only she had somewhere to go! First brain scan ever for me, in C.U.H, all seems well Thank God. A day of firsts, laughter go leor, many compelling conversations. God’s Amazing Grace.

Outlet Centre solemn, shops shut, silence deafening, but that did not dampen our spirits one bit, demonstrating yet again how little we needed all that stuff we thought we could never live without. 

Henry Thoreau comes to mind when he declared; ‘I enjoy going to the town and visiting the stores and the market place and seeing all the things I do not need or want that I can do without’.

‘Find your joy in simple things, for money cannot buy - the music of a blackbird or the rainbow in the sky - the fragrance of the roses and the stars at eventide. All the green and golden glory of the countryside’. (Patience Strong)
