Blessings of serving God overseas #1

#1. Making the most of time with family ...

This is something which has hit home this week. It will be sad when our eldest son's cousin leaves with his parents to go back to the middle east where they are serving God. They have come to love each other very much over the last 6 months. It will probably be a number of years till they see each other again.

However, it is very unlikely that they would have spent this much time together (seeing each other 3-4 times a week) and become so close if we weren't going overseas to serve God. So a blessing I've seen this week about serving God overseas, is that it's made us make the most of our opportunities to spend with family.

• Praise God for the opporunity to spend lots of time with family before we go.
• Pray for our son's cousin that he will be able to find new playmates in the middle east.
