Day 11 – Family time

My brother Richard has been volunteering his time to help train and coach his daughter’s rugby league team – a big commitment. My dad, step-mum (June) and I decided to go and watch a game and support them.

June did something amazing. She, with some help from Auntie Linda, knitted beanies for the entire team to wear on their heads to keep them warm off-field. The team members were very grateful.

I am very grateful to be living near family again here in NZ. I am also happy Angella can spend more time with family in Jamaica again this year after braving the long journey.

The unity and oneness of family is very important to God too. One of my favourite verses about God’s plan for our unity and eternal destiny says:

having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,  that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earthin Him. Ephesians 1:9-10
