A Wet Summer Holiday in Rhyl

 


'We're very lucky!"
I tell the boys,
"Not many can afford
a LUXURY Platinum Caravan!
(Much cheaper than abroad)

"It's very spacious!"
I tell the boys
as they squeeze into their "room":
"A luxury PLATINUM Caravan!"
(I hope it stops raining soon)

"It's not for us!"
I tell the boys
as we sit around, plain bored.
"A luxury platinum CARAVAN!"
(Next year we go abroad)

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;   surely I have a delightful inheritance (Psalm 16:6 NIV) I was blessed before I was born. Through God's grace I was born into a godly family with a godly heritage on both sides of my lineage.  My paternal grandmother knew and served the Lord, growing up within the Salvation Army. There she met and married my paternal grandfather who hailed from a non-Christian background but had a life transforming encounter with the Risen Christ, serving his Saviour within the ranks of the Salvation Army until the day he died. My maternal grandparents both came from Salvation Army stock. Both served as Salvation Army officers (a story, perhaps for another time). My family (including my parents) are my inspiration. Today has been a bit of a pottering day and involved working through boxes stored in the garage as we prepare to move in July to our new appointment. I came across these photographs. Two are of my mum's dad - Jack -

Signs of Compassion

I like these thoughts from Carson T. Clark and I recommend you read them and also visit his website! I particularly love the quote from Schaeffer which, when read in the light of the whole Rob Bell controversy, mirrors others who have said that we should never speak of hell without tears in our eyes: “What men find ugly is what they see in Christians who hold to the orthodox doctrine that men are lost, but show no signs of compassion… This is what causes men in our generation to be turned off by evangelicalism.” More from the original article here - http://carsontclark.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/francis-schaeffer-on-rob-bell/ Thanks Carson!
