Well, the new van was put to good use on Monday. It was a rather impromptu adventure but late in the morning several of the older children along with some adults (we won’t say how many people were in the 15-passenger van 🙂) piled in and Michael took us on an outing, a rare treat for the children.
As we made our way through some streets in the neighbourhood the children were screaming with excitement as they took in all the sights and sounds. They also initiated songs of praise and thanksgiving to God - what a joyful noise.
We ended up at the cathedral just up the hill from Sanyu where there are some large open lawns. The children were thrilled to be able to run freely while throwing, kicking and chasing balls and generally having fun being kids...and the adults enjoyed being kids too.
Soon it was time to get back in the van for the drive down the hill. What a delight to see everyone enjoying such a simple outing...and the getting there and driving home was half the fun.
“Children are a gift from the Lord” (Psalm 127:3).
