Hiya all who read my blog,
Seasons….. This Christmas season has been a difficult one for me. I’ve tried my hardest to maintain the Christmas spirit…… But it has been a season of goodbyes. Or should I say au revoir’s?!
As the time for me to depart to Sierra Leone approaches I realise how many people are dear to me and how much I will miss them. That said, there is always the Internet and fandangled things like Skype…… I’ll have to learn how to use them I guess!
On a more positive note, a new season is dawning for my life. A season of hello’s, of new beginnings and friendships. With the grace of God we can develop communities and friendships that will endure the test of time and really make a difference to people’s lives.
I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and have had chance to celebrate with your loved ones. Have a happy New Year.
God bless, Ian
