Day 14.259: Exile #2's Sunday Column #363

Exile #2 writes...

We woke to the sound of pouring rain, so we shelved the plans we’d had to go for an early morning walk on the beach. It was raining again as we set out this afternoon for an outdoor event. But with perfect timing the skies cleared in time for us to meet with a couple of our local sister churches for a celebration of new friendships and new beginnings.
There was a short service, followed by lawn games and snacks. Although, one of the smallest of our number was more impressed by the large muddy puddle that had been left over from the earlier showers. She spent a happy couple of hours splashing and wading and getting well and truly soaked but fortunately her Mom, one of the pastors, had a change of clothes for the journey home to the island on which they live. I imagine you have to be even more prepared as a parent when getting home depends on catching the ferry.
