Hate thinking of getting old but beginning to do the things which demonstrate the age thing!
One thing in particular is recalling former friends who haven't been in touch through Friends Reunited. Are they still around I wonder! Then there are the memories these people invoke, from childhood, school and teenage years and all the other times since...Good memories stick though! Nice people still give good feelings.
However I live in the "Present Age" and that is where it happens, looking forward to having the grandchildren all to ourselves in August followed naturally by our own holidays. Seems about right! Can't be that old doing this type of thing!

rhythm of life
The rhythm of life goes on irrespective of our conscious involvement or not! Even the effects of global warming will be worked out on the earth just like the ice age 10,000 years ago in these islands.
Betsy was asleep being pushed around in her pram in Dulwich park when we came across 3 pea hens nests. Each one had instinctively built their nest after mating to ensure the rhythm of life continued and were sat there instinctively bringing to life or protecting that which they had helped create. Only a clever predator could take away that which was under their wings.
This week Jeanette Cook finally left this life after caring for her chicks for nearly 44 years but she prepared them well enough to fend for themselves and committed them to the great protector, our HEAVENLY FATHER!

supporting friends
We will go to Southport next Thursday 14th. June to say our goodbyes to Jeanette and to be there for the family. Such a sensitive time for people coming to terms with a loved one leaving this earth.
I'm glad I worship in a community which encourages a mixture of joy and celebration at times like this, and I love the expression "Promoted to Glory."

happy 'n sad
Phoned Cecily to wish her happy birthday last Saturday and later Melanie phoned to say Cecily's gran had gone to heaven. Mixed emotions that day and special thoughts for two people.
We mentioned before about 'special people' and we say goodbye to Jeanette Cook.
The funeral will be the last hurdle for the Cook family and we will support them in prayer. Until then, happy memories!
