Transitions

a Biblical thought...
So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. (Hebrews 9:28)

a Book thought...
The presence of the Holy Spirit changes ordinary lives into extraordinary ones. (p88)

a Dave thought...
Last night, while Kylie continues to pack up our quarters, I took the boys out to see some Christmas lights. As we looked through the rain drenched windows of the car at the appearing lit up Christmas trees and Santa’s down The Boulevard it finally felt like Christmas for me for the first time this year. But it was only a few minutes later that it dawned on Noah that tomorrow would be the last day he would see all his friends at his primary school in Melbourne. The picture above is of Noah’s first day at Birralee 3 years ago (with good neighbour Major Pete Lindstrom) and today will be his last. As we move down to Geelong to our new appointment Noah will begin Grade 2 in a whole new school and we pray will again make many new friends. As the tears flowed I had images of myself 30 years ago going through similar times as an officers child. It won’t be easy for Noah today but I know that transitions, although can be sad times, often take us to better place.

Just a thought.
