Acts 20:24 However I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

OCTOBER'S BLOG

How quickly one falls back into the routine of one’s life, it’s a blessing from God that He allows us to shift from one life to another with the minimum of fuss and bother J.We miss our family and friends, but is made bearable with His grace. After a shaky start baby Xan our second grandchild after Ben is doing so much better, thanks for all of your letters of concern and prayers. Thanks so very much.
It’s hot and humid and we seem to be in the Long Rains which shouldn’t be happening until February/March,,,,,,,, some people are flooded and some homes have fallen in and groups are affected and life goes on .

We had to take a picture of this man amongst the rocks,,,,,, his name is Peter and he has been excavating these rocks from the ground for months. They will be used for building materials. His only tools consist of a hammer a chisel and a crowbar,,,,,,,can you imagine getting up every day to do this?

1 Timothy  6:6-8

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.  But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
