Pilgrim Soldier

Inspired by a post over at the Evening Beaches blog I’ve decided that I need to seek out the perfect moments in life, or in other words, those moments that give meaning to the day. I concentrate far too often on the negative things and need to concentrate more on the wonderful! I don’t intend to post about them all but there were at least two yesterday!

First, was a conversation with a colleague about the nature of church and community as we travelled back from a difficult meeting. To see a young person so full of understanding about how the relationships she has in the church are so valuable and authentic was wonderful!

Second, as I walked into the living room in our flat, Sian looked up from where she was playing with her Noah’s Ark and gave me the most beautiful smile, before returning back to playing. No words, no big hugs, simply a smile of pleasure at seeing me.
