Taking for granted??
Chris writes....almost back in Kosova for one week and already I am thinking about the things we often take for granted....for a change I am not talking about lack of electricity....this is something you may recall we often went without for long periods of time in the village....here in the town I am only aware of two power cuts this week....
I am talking about something much closer to home...our sight!!
We have chess playing blind/partially sighted people from all over Kosova here at moment....they play with their hands....feeling the pieces/board as they go....it is quite amazing to watch...and it does not seem to hinder them!!
Take nothing for granted!! Rather thank God for all His blessings!! xx

Chris writes: last time I spoke about journeys of faith...ours has been pretty amazing!
As we have travelled round recently I shared some thoughts about Peter and his journey of faith...in particular the story of him going to Jesus on the water...... and stepping out of the boat in Matthew 14.
Matthew almost sounds quite matter of fact in 14:25...there was Jesus walking on the water!!........The way you do!!..........Peter sees Jesus and thinks I could do that....wow what a man of courage!! Jesus says...'come'!! (verse 29). Gulp!!................What is often over looked is Peter DID walk on the water...but just like we all do he took his eyes off Jesus...looked at the wind and waves and STARTED to sink....instantly he called out and...instantly Jesus saved Him...Peter grew through that experience.
18 months ago we stepped out the boat when we went to Kosova as a couple to live.
Now it is time to step out of the boat again....after 4 months in UK and around 5000 miles of travelling I shall return to Kosova on Monday 18th...our monthly support is over 60% and rising and it is time for us to continue the next part of our adventure...!!
Thanks for your prayers and support xx
