    I’m humbled and honoured - our curate who runs the Women’s Weekend (which is this weekend) has just asked me to lead the Sunday morning session
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    My role will be:

    “So the main purpose is to prepare us to hear God’s word. And so it means welcoming people, introducing songs (I have chosen Amazing Grace and Who has held the oceans in his hands) , asking someone to read the Bible passage (Genesis 42:1-24; 44:1-45:9), interviewing someone (I’ll let you know who) and praying for the session and as we hear God’s word.”
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    That's wonderful. I'm still in awe at how far you have come since Bath. Not only are you able to actually attend the weekend, but you are taking part in leading. You are amazing. X

    So, Jess has just landed in India with MIL after a very long flight ( actually 2 long flights lol) and is off shortly on their first tour. This may break her
