Fruit

As spring happens in Scotland, there are sure signs of Life!

The fields are dotted with new lambs


The Frasers are watching for the arrival of our new lamb

And the family is watching for God's direction to keep on track!


Please pray for us!

There is alot of pressure to worry and frett about how to serve God and keep balance in our lives. We want to 'hate' our lives unto life eternal like John chapter 12 teaches, but we also know that the family life is a witness to the community around us. We are not seeking our comfort, but we are not convinced that masochistic austerity is the evidence of godliness, either.

This week is the last of Easter Holidays for the boys so we have taken them away to the north.

I actually experienced unreasonable reluctance to go away from the church, but I know that this is a responsible act to care for the family and rest my head and heart from the daily grind.

Its not like the prayer/devotional life takes a break and the sermon still get written for Sunday, but we are sleeping late and taking day trips.

Here are photos of the boys at Ballindalloch Castle near Elizabeth's grandmother's home in Banfshire.





Its not like all our time away from LA is one great vacation. In fact, God is teaching me what is an LA effect, and what is 'me, affected'! A sinner, swooped up and cleaned up and put to good use.

We are grateful for a place to stay for free and for things to do as a family. And this is really a place to reflect and seek the Lord for our growing family and His growing work in Alva.

We are waking up to the nuances of spiritual warfare in our new environment how the enemy of our souls uses influencable areas of our lives. The cultural differences, the social milieu of church, our own unaddressed stuff, new stuff arising, economics & politics, any area where we are challenged to take every thought captive to obedience to Christ.

Please remember us in your prayers!
