Remembering ... by Marion Thomas

Talking about remembering has prompted me to remember the journey that has brought me to this point in time. Sometime the stages on that journey feel very far away from where I am now. I remember with much affection the Sunday School teachers (who shall remain nameless!) whose talks were not particularly inspiring, but who loved me. I remember the people in the group I belonged to as a young adult - we were incredibly close, and shared some truly deep and meaningful experiences. I remember the friends who took me to their hearts in a church I had only just joined when I was immobilised by an accident, and who supported me in practical ways that I would never have expected. The list could go on. I am deeply grateful to them all and for them all. And now I have met a new group of people, and I really look forward to all that I share with them...
