what a week!
Today is the first day we have been alone as a family for over a week, it's been a week of reunion with Marc's parents visiting from India, of family direct and adopted coming together and of celebration!
Elijahs baptism really was a heaven sent occasion, which may sound dramatic but truly it moved every emotion in my body. Yes he cried at the wrong moment due to need food and other bodily functions but the whole service was just so powerful. Being with my folks as they led us in the service, worshipping in song led by Marc and supported by our niece and dear friend and getting the immense privilege of baptising Elijah myself was just WOW...and the cherry on the top Daniel behaved and participated impeccably !!!
Add that to a weekend spent with family who made the sacrifice of travelling the length of the country, friends who represent parishes we've served in Rochdale, Middlesborough, Gillingham and Rochester, new friends we've made here and through school, the air cadets who came to support us and precious moments with family and close friends today I still feel overwhelmed with blessings.
Thank you all who made this time do special by your presents and presents , by your gifts of time, catering and friendship,. The joy is only overshadowed by the realisation of those we love but don't see enough... What a weekend !
