Desperately seeking

This Is Your Life

Today was a rather special day at church. Being the fifth Sunday in the month we hosted the congregations of the other two churches in our parish. SO, this made it an ideal time to make a formal farewell to a couple who have done a tremendous amount for the church, especially as they coped with an interregnum.

They announced 18 months ago that they intended to move to be near their son so the Scout's and the Social Club had already given their gifts in appreciation.

My part in all this was creating a book via Photobox to represent various aspects of their church life that I have photographed in the 3 years I have been back. To make it particularly special for them, I had left blank pages for the congregations of our three churches and the Open The Book team to write a word or two in the book.

They were given money and another present made by a member of the congregation and I know they didn't want a fuss but I hope this will bring them joy and, particularly, I want their son to see how much they were loved! They were told I had done this for them and didn't open this gift at the service, I suspect they will find it an emotional read.

This couple meant a lot to me, they were so good to my mum.
