I have returned!

I am sure if you were interested enough to wonder where I have been you would have thought I had emigrated down under! We have been away for a few days. First we spent a couple of days with my mum in Fort William and then went on to Skye where we spent a fab weekend. When we got back our friends came from Ireland and so we went for a few days to a camp site just a few miles from Edinburgh. They have just gone home this afternoon and so we are getting back to something people call work. I haven't done very much of it lately but not sure what is more exhausting, work or play! I hope all has gone well in your lives this past week. I will post some photos later. Bye for now!

Had computer probs this morning!

I did try to reach you this morning but the computer wasn't obeying me! I hope you are well. We have a new home with all this cleaning that's gone on! Unfortunately it doesn't know how to stay that way! I thought I should show you a pic before it all changes.
We are getting ready this evening to head off in the morning to Fort William to stay with my mum for a couple of days and then on to Skye to take some services on Sunday! I don't know if I will be able to check in with you but I will try. If not will speak to you as soon as possible. You can also find me at Facebook and Bebo. See you soon. Love Elizabeth. xx

Cleaning day!

Well it has finally come to the stage where if I don't do something with my house we will never be found again under the rubble of stuff!
Jonathan very kindly has agreed to do school and I am on a marathon adventure around the house to make a difference by the end of the day! So for now I will go and may show you the end achievements on the blog later.Don't get too excited tho!
See ya! Love Elizabeth. xx

Gorgie Mission Gala!

These pics were taken yesterday at the Gorgie/Dalry gala. We ahd a good day despite the weather forecast predictions. We managed to have just a couple of good conversations with folks but handed out a lot of literature with only a couple of refusals. We now leave the Holy Spirit to do the job of speaking on through the leaflets that have gone into homes where we could never get.
The ladies did a fabulous job on the stall and made over £640 for the youth work fund. They work tirelessly at this all year making jams and such like in preparation so we are very grateful for all they do. This is us counting the money last night!!!!


Today was a very small day at Sunday school with only 4 but we nevertheless had a good time and now we have just had a special meal for Father's day. Jon is a great Father and has always been very involved in the upbringing of the girls. They love him and respect him. In many ways they are like him too. I hope they go on to be like him in their Christian lives too. Like him may they love their Saviour wholeheartedly and serve Him no matter what the cost. Ultimately may they be just like their Heavenly Father. It's what I want for my life too. What about you?

Off to Fort William!

Will be in touch soon. Hope you ave a good day!!!! Love Elizabeth. xx

Where do the days go?

The computer for some reason is going very slow today and I am getting bit fed up. So I won't be too long you will be glad to know. I am off to town this morn and Jon is doing school. I have a couple o birthdays to buy for and as usual am at the last minute! The saying goes better late then never but my Dad used to say better never late! So I am off! Have a good day! Use it wisely and start it well. Bye for now. E. x

The first day of the rest of your life?

We had a brilliant day yesterday. School went really well and we were finished in no time at all. I got many of the jobs done that I had wanted to get done. I appreciated just having time to do stuff that often gets overlooked in the busyness of life. We even watched together some Little House on the Prairie which my kids really love.
Time with the family is very important and people tell you all the time to take it as it goes so fast. Days do just speed by don't they and we will never be able to get them again. Make every day count in your lives and the lives of those you are with. Someone said live every day as if it were your last. I agree with that but would add live every day as if you knew Jesus was coming back that night. For He may just return today. For at such a time as you think not the Son of man is coming. Be prepared and live life so that you have no regrets. You will never say at the end of your life "I wish I had spent more time at the office", but you may indeed say "I wish I had spent more time with the Lord and my family", do it now!
Enjoy this day, with love Elizabeth. xx
