Signs and Smiles

Today has been tough for reasons it's not appropriate to go into on line. Sufficient to say I spent the journey between Durham and MK doing alot of thinking about the past, present, future and quite abit of praying. I was convinced that rather than making a few minor mistakes I had dug one sodding great hole and had shown without doubt why one possible road for the future would be completely the wrong one to take.

Then I arrived in MK. I had a hug of TOH and had a bit of her Northern Common Sense thrown in my direction. Then, still not convinced, I arrived at the house. There was a card here, it's home made and has a picture saying "Hope Square" on. It was an Easter card for TOH and I. The message inside was just what I needed to read today. Then I checked my e-mail. Within it was one where somebody had specifically tracked me down, using a favour from a friend, because they wanted details of MAZE for their organisation working with the LGBandT community. Their taking the trouble to track down the info touched me in a way I can't explain. It meant they thought MAZE is useful. Finally I found another card on the mat addressed to TOH and I, another Easter Card from a member of her small group. The message within it said this person was "praying for a great Holy Week" for us both.

None of these people could have known how much their cards or e-mail enquiries would be worth to me today. They have though pulled me out of a slight Eyore situation. I'm not that into signs and wonders but God does seem to have seriously used signs and smiles today.

May or maynot find myself blogging over the next few days, but may you have a great Holy Week too.
