Post flip calm

TGF sorting stuff out to some degree. TGF knowing that a simple sign of love and caring can break through when words can't.

Thought for the day.... when is it time to cross the street?

"So when you're standing at the kiosk asking 'why can't I have what I want?' may you believe that God is good and that right across the street he has something better" Rob Bell. Kickball Nooma.

Creation

TGF pebbles on a beach.

Perfect

TGF an absolutely brilliant day at the seaside...lovely weather..lovely friends...so much fun...Thank you God and thank you to the gang.

Simple things

TGF sitting in the sun..TGF cans of pop...TGF watching kids sprawled on the floor thoroughly enjoying playing Tiddlywinks..TGF photos on your desk (currently the Here comes the sun moment!)

Toys

TGF all my toys...in particular my TV (working on PC while watching Paralympics) and my camera (even though it does get me extra work unpaid at school). Even TGF the ones that don't work...like the printer that took my afternoon, and then printed Alison's pictures and not mine. This time it's personal!!

TGF my garden with all its lovely flowers.

The lovliest flowers I ever got

TGF sunflowers...

Can I do that?

Saturday. TGF playing Spiderman Uno in the sun on the patio (that Ruth designed) with Ruth and Sophie. TGF being able to run. TGF watching Cars with beer and popcorn (food not people...would be funny if I had friends called Beer and Popcorn).

Lots

TGF... a desk to work at. TGF curry and chat with incredibly brainy people. TGF just about being able to keep up with brainy people (mainly cos they explain things really well at a dumbass level). TGF the comfort of a familiar smell. TGF cards to send to people to let them know what you've been up to. TGF having a place to remember Grandad. TGF reading a book in the sun. TGF Him meeting all our needs (like a housemate). TGF having parents who are happy to help me out. TGF possibly being able to afford the house....we'll see!!! TGF the guys having a great time so far on their worship leader's course.

Footprints

TGF the fact that He knows the bigger picture...he really does know what is best for us...even if we don't agree at the time.

TGF the footprints poem. Just seeing my framed one Alison made me at church made me cry. TGF how creatively Alison used the idea of footprints to show how God is good. TGF how brilliant G Factor is...TGF Alison for creating it. TGF all the other people brought together by Alison's work on Alpha courses that help make it happen.

TGF George Michael. TGF the smell of fresh washing. TGF knowing what you want to eat for tea. TGF jelly babies. TGF really good waterproofs. TGF really good timing (arrived in front of the Walker's TV the second that Gemma Prescott appeared on it in the Paralympic opening ceremony. TGF being able to pray for someone I know so far away. TGF sport, whatever the performer's ability. TGF my cuddly toys. TGF the lovely people that have bought me presents...so many as I look round my room. TGF my fantastic friend Emma...for her time, and commitment to help her friends sort things out...and her help with making my house a lovely place to be.

It's just falling with style

TGF duvet covers.
