It's almost the end of October...

Time seems to fly by really fast... suddenly it's almost the end of October ... where has this month gone...

Life here offers some great encounters, whilst at the same time offering challenges.

Our LIFE is about sharing LIFE and we love it... it's been a joy to open our home to a number of different people and I rejoice that Lynn is such a great hostess. I have to say it is a joy to welcome people into our home and share a meal around the table...

Years ago when we first arrived in this region we had a clear sense that we should meet around a table, in Greece we bought a large rectangular marble table that was more than adequate for the task, here in Albania we created a living room with a couple of round tables, one a coffee table, the other a small low dining table.

It is around these tables that we have enjoyed many coffee times and wonderful meals served up by Lynn who makes every recipe her own due to our not always being able to find the specific ingredients but also because she has a great ability to adapt!

About a year ago we were sitting in the living room asking the question... "What are we doing here?" The very next day Lynn read in the Message... "you are here to be salt that brings out the God flavours in people's  lives and Light that brings out the God colours"...

Every time we find ourselves around these table with guests, we discover Flavour and Colour that simply needs releasing. As we proceed on our journey to discover more of the greatness of God we realise there is so much flavour and so much colour in every individual... with this we are seeing the Kingdom of God come with ever increasing delight.

Finally, last weekend we met around the table with friends from Manchester,  family members and new Albanian friends, it was a full house... what a delight it was when the presence of God came and filled the room ... we are rejoicing that LIFE is finding an outlet and both influencing and drawing people into closer relationship with God...
