The young women will dance for joy, and the men
—old and young—will join in the celebration.
I will turn their mourning into joy.
I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.
- Jeremiah 31:13NLT
Ad: Whilst we were in the UK, I had such a mixture of feelings. I felt an old chapter was closing and a new one opening. Watching our children fly further from our nest and for longer periods first filled me with a huge sense of loss. I didn’t expect the era of raising our offspring to transition so fast. Letting go was hard.
Gradually, however, hope and excitement has risen in my soul, because I am starting to see what the Lord wants to do in the semi-independent phases Maria, Jerome and Laurence are now entering. Each has a clearer idea of the passions God has placed on their heart.
We are grateful to all our existing AND new partners for stand-ing with us; helping in innumerable ways to equip us as a family to be a blessing to others. Genesis 12:1-3. Thank you all so much. This is a real team effort. I know God will remember your partnership.
