Fuelled for Flight

We fuel ourselves for life in a variety of ways. What is the food that we fill our minds with? Our souls? Our body is indeed for this physical life but it is also the vessel in which our true self resides.

Once fuelled up, how do we use the life we have? The way we spend our days, hours and minutes is something that has been at the forefront of my mind over this last month. Each day is a gift that we can choose to use in a way that is profitable and enjoyable... if we let them just slip by without notice or celebration we fail to live a life that we are made for!

Using each day to commemorate the small things, to celebrate each other and to look for ways to impact those around us in a positive way is surely a grand use of its many minutes and hours. We visited Wanganui this month and enjoyed a great birthday lunch with our Cox Family to celebrate Mum, which was a real treat. On the following Sunday we had the opportunity to visit Wanganui East Baptist and enjoy the service with our Church Family there. However the time flies by so quickly and now we are back in Hamilton, not long left in October now... which means David and I hope to have some celebrations and events to look forward to very soon!

In November we will have three events, first our MAF Awareness Afternoon Tea Party at Horsham Downs Community Church on the 9th (from 3-5pm) where we will have a chance to share Our Story of how we were both called into Mission Life with Mission Aviation Fellowship.
Secondly, we will join with Hamilton Central Baptist to have a Fun Family Fundraiser night on the 23rd, (starting from 6pm) where there will be games and entertainment for the kids, and for the Adults there will be an evening packed with everything from Bargain Auctions to Quizzes where exciting prizes can be won!
To finish up November we have our Commissioning Service to be hosted by Hamilton Central Baptist in the 10:30am Sunday service on the 24th, followed by a shared lunch with the Church Family there.

We would love for everyone to be able to come and join us for these events, so be sure to pass on the information to friends and family as we would love to see as many as possible.


Until next time!
