Nearly home – and I’m tired tonight.
Been a wonderful day. Packed church at Ward with huge number of young people – a large crowd came out from Nativity kids and youth to join with the Awatere folk (see photo). The kids all then walked the 3 kms to the main road. Great occasion but slow walking. Meant that we didn’t hit the main road proper until after lunch – or get into Seddon until closer to 5.30.
Freezing cold southerly wind and I’m so wind-burnt today – another ‘first’ for the journey.
Been geat support from Awatere people; particularly Miriam and Malcolm, Dawn and Sana.
Shared devotions tonight with the Vanuatu guys who head home in a couple of weeks.
Long day, but lovely day.
Met our friendly cop today patrolling the Coast road – certainly didn’t get us for speeding!!!
Ready to crash – struggling for something to say and to keep my eyes open.
Just remembered – went into church of St Oswalds yesterday and felt moved to read Psalm 84 – suddenly found it talks about a pilgrimage…. have a look.
God bless my friends.
