Rumours

I have just finished reading Rumours of Another World by Philip Yancey - what a challenging book! He is so honest in his writing which I'm sure enables his readers to identify far more readily with what he is saying. So much was thought-provoking, moving and inspiring. All that now needs to happen is to turn this motivation into action.

The reading of this book co-incided with a very special service last night - the confirmation of our charming son. All our family gathered in the church which was full of loving, supportive members of the congregation who have, along with us, watched his faith grow over recent times. He gave a beautiful, heart-felt testimony which moved a number of us to tears but we were so thrilled to hear it, giving thanks for the joy in his life and for his eternal salvation. My darling and I had made promises at his baptism when he was just a baby and we rejoiced to hear him, now an adult, confirm them himself.

It is a glorious day, full of promise... what precious hints of 'another world' are so generously given - let's be whole-hearted in thankfully receiving them.
