With a Little Help from my Friends

A day dominated by having to stand in for someone ill, and preach at short notice - but it's over now, and went well, considering - even managed a half-decent power-point - which is the hard bit for me.

What I'm grateful for is the way everyone stepped in to cover for me: son making Sunday lunch for seven; friend making the crumble with the blackberries we'd picked; another friend sorting my PP; husband posing for photo of Zacchaeus up a sycamore tree; brother- and sister-in-law coming to hear me. I feel so supported.

This is our church as I arrived early this afternoon - glorious sunshine, btw.
