One of the highlights of our weekend was taking the kids from the home here to Shelly beach on Saturday. We have done this same trip nearly every weekend in our time here and the novelty of this has never worn off. The beach is beautiful and we are so blessed to live near to it. The kids are fab and we love spending time with them. We never tire of seeing the boys in the water with their friends here, splashing around, laughing and enjoying being together. Whatever has been going on it is so good to take time out to just be together, to have fun, to share stories and just be.
There are many reasons why the kids come to live in the home here. Many stories behind each face. The one common thing is that in the home they have come to they are shown love and are deeply cared for. This home has also shown us such love. They have welcomed us, fed us, cared for us and walked with us. We are so blessed by all we have received from them. It is an honour and a joy to have time with them each weekend on the beach.
It was hard knowing that was our last trip to Shelly beach before we return to England on Wednesday. Our Saturday afternoons will never be the same again. We treasure all those special memories and are deeply thankful for each one.
