The best gift

The eagle eyed of you will be aware I've not blogged for a while ... tbh I've had a bit of writers block. I've had friends and family going through some tough times especially health wise and so everything else has felt less important.

But tonight as I'm sat here desperately hoping the kids will sleep so I can finish prep for the next 4 services I've felt compelled to write.
The next few days will be chaos of work, wrapping paper tinsel wine ( I hope!) good food ( I hope!) and precious family time but today again the whole point of the celebration s comes head first at me.
God loves the world so much he sent his son ,. The best most surprising gift anyone could ever want ( find out more about the surprises tomorrow 12pm at Upnor church!!!!)
Why? Because the world is broken ... today I see my favourite place in the world in TV broken, this week I've seen families in poverty broken , this month I've seen friends and families bodies (and my own) brokenand bow especially our country feels broken.

But God still loves us ... Jesus is still the best gift ever ... unfortunately the world hasn't really opened that gift and allowed him to reach his full potential ..

This Christmas have an amazing celebration .... and I hope to catch as many of you as possible in 2019 😘
