It is that time again. Our third son ,S amuel David Falconer , turned 13. We invited our close and good friends around to share their blessings on being a teenager with Sam. It was a lovley, windy day and the lounge was full of noise and bustle.
We began with our Sam's precious godparents Col and Sam sharing with him.we are enormously priveledged to be in deep community with our brothers and sisters in Christ and I do not take this for granted. Man and women speaking truth over and in our son was a deeply moving and delightful thing. This little cerimony takes a while and yet everyone, including children, sit patiently listening. In reality, Sam might remember , well nothing of what was said. But God was honoured and glorified. SAM was prayed for and we were encouraged. What Sam will remember is the feelkng of that day. Tht people who love hi shared and cared enoun to speak . He will remember the men who are available for any future time of advice. He will have felt loved.
Thank you to each person who came and shared life with us and thank you Jesus for again being who you are to us and for us.
