Feasting on Friday, 18th March

          The great thing about friendship is that when your hearts are knit together, it doesn’t matter how much time passes between visits.  As Christians, we live in a kingdom of not only friendship, but also of family.  

          When I first arrived in England, “Maverick” was settled into and knit into the fellowship of Hillsong London.  When we had a car it was not an issue to travel into London and Leatherhead in Surrey to worship and serve.  We made friends with a young couple, “Dick” and “Lene”.  When we first met, they had no children.  They have since had “Milly” and “Jem”.  

          Last December “Lene” and “Maverick” were chatting through Facebook, so she invited him to the Hillsong Christmas programme at Wimbledon.   Joyously, he returned that night to share snippets of the story of three directionally challenged wise men.  He told me that the programmed was going to be aired on television on UCB closer to Christmas Day.  

          It was following the programme that “Maverick” made a concerted effort to schedule an evening with them.  On Friday, 18^th March, “Dick” collected us and drove us to their home in Surrey.  

          The photos show how lovingly the dining room was prepared for us.  We feasted on friendship, sharing “How we got together” stories and enjoying Chicken in sauce, rice, broccoli and green beans and garlic bread.  Dessert was toffee sticky pudding hot from the oven, served with custard.  It was indeed a special evening.
