Counting Our Blessings

Pouring with rain on way to church this morning, and dark by the time we got up from our Sunday post dinner nap, so walked the long way round to church this evening to look for blips - thought the Christmas lights reflected in the puddles in the deserted shopping centre made it look slightly less awful than usual.

Had a man from Burundi speaking in church - all the emphasis on "our" refugees makes you forget how awful other places are... he said around half the population is malnourished, plus, just as they're working to get refugees from the last troubles resettled, a load more are now fleeing from the recent killings.
