Something I pray:
Lord,
Take me where
you want me to go,
Let me meet
who you want me to meet,
Tell me what
you want me to say,
And keep me out of your way.(Revd Mychal Judge OFM

It’s been a whole week since I Counted my Blessings for Mothers’ Union Family Life Programme in Uganda. In many ways that counts as a fail, but for me it actually speaks about most of the Mothers’ Union members I … Continue reading
Counting #myblessings – what price a phonecall?
I try, one day a week, to have a day without turning on my computer. This week, that day was yesterday (Monday 14th) which is why no blog post about Counting my Blessings with Mothers’ Union. So now I’m trying … Continue reading

On a day when I’ve sat, getting very cold, by a lake watching my son sail for the first time this year, it is mildly amusing and appropriate (having thawed out in front of the rugby) that I find myself … Continue reading
Counting #myblessings for food security
I think I’ll be putting at least a quid in the kitty today for the Mothers’ Union Family Life Programme. I’ve must have at least 50 tins and containers of food in our cupboards – a luxury that few Ugandan’s … Continue reading
Counting #myblessings of comfort – pillows and cushions
Late in evening and my first chance to sit at the computer. Today, the busy life of a lay minister and Mothers’ Union member has included an MU Trustees meeting, and juggling the needs of several grieving families in the … Continue reading
Counting #myblessings with Mothers’ Union – taps!
Back in 2006, being in receipt of a small amount of money after the death of a grandparent, we spent 3 weeks in Africa (the only foreign ‘holiday’ in 19 years of marriage). We took with us our 9 year … Continue reading
