Engagement party!

We had Lucy (my younger daughter) & Dave's engagement party at the SA Hall on Saturday evening and everything went well - people seemed to be enjoying themselves..... Sian (elder daughter) had put together a few CD's of varied music - took a few hours but it was good - thanks! Pete (CSM at Pill) had put the Disco Unit out ready.... thanks Pete! and everyone turned up who had said they would!!! it was good to meet a substantial number of Dave's family and just lovely to catch up with friends and family.

I had been a bit anxious about the potential of problems from youths that regularly gather in the precinct (opposite the Hall) so I'd spent some time in prayer after setting everything up asking for protection for us all and for God to be present with us in our celebrations of His hand being so evidently at work in bringing Lucy & Dave together..... and for opportunities to witness to the many (on our side of the family) who have no/little faith.

All I can say is that He is Faithfull - we had no problems with youths.... in fact there were none in the precinct at all.... and many opportunties were taken to witness - questions were asked about the cake (which had the Army flag on it) and the Army crest on the wall..... about what the colours meant, what the crown was for, etc...... and it was good to be able to explain how God had brought Lucy & dave together. All in all it was an absolutely lovely evening and I want to give Him all the Glory!

We had a lovely time and it was good to celebrate the happy occasion. As usual at these sort of 'do's' I find myself thinking back and remembering both of your 'little' girls one in a pushchair and the other walking by your side. Wow .... how they've grown up into lovely young ladies. You're a great family ..... and we've been privileged to know you all over these years in Pill ..... God Bless you

Hi Ann,

Just found your blog!

Thanks for a lovely time on Saturday night- it was lovely to go to something without kids in tow (fast asleep doesn't count!)

Keep up the blogging,

Tracy
