Back at work full time

Nearly six months have passed, we are amazed at God's goodness. John is back at work full time. John still has times when his language seems to go, when he's tired or stressed. His personality has changed, he has become much more emotional, but I suppose that's because the right side of his brain is now dominant.
John is hoping to preach for the first time at the prayer meeting this coming Thursday and we would value your prayers for this. This is a big thing for John because John's language can go when he is stessed. Yet we know the Lord hath chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He also gave a small talk at Pastor's 20th anniversary service last Saturday. It was amazing because John's language had been not so good all day, yet the little talk was clear and John disn't halt at all. Here is a photo of John on Saturday.

Blessings and prayers for you John.

I would meet her after school and keep her company as she went from house to house. I remember the cold winter nights when for hours we would walk from house to house. The emotion that flooded my memory was one of feeling locked out of something warm and beautiful. I would stand with my mum in the cold and feel the warmth as the door opened, a smell of something cooking would hit my brain and I would long to be asked in. To spend a moment in the warmth drinking a hot drink. Instead I was left with a feeling of being exclude...
