Meeting old friends

We've been privileged or should I say blessed in that in the course of our ministry we have met and worked with so many people in different countries. They have really enriched our lives. Our last four years were spent in the United Kingdom, although our work entailed travelling quite a good bit to our part of the world - South Pacific and East Asia. So we got the best of both worlds!

Among the many friends we met were Lieut. Colonels David and Grace Napier. When they were the Army leaders in Scotland, they invited us to lead the Scottish Congress. What a lovely time we had with them and the people of Scotland.

What a joy it was to see them again and we had lunch together. They were on holidays here staying with Colonels Keith and Beryl Burridge. The couple of hours spent at the Restaurant and later at our home passed very quickly. Thank God for friends He has brought into our lives.

"Good friendships are not measured by the frequency of phone calls, or letters, or visits.. the best friendships are recognised by the quality of time and feelings shared." Lynn Gerard.
