That was today- loads of wonderful folk from Re:Hope who were available, came along to lift and haul and transport things out of one building, into others. It was a lovely team effort, even though overall we were all clearly feeling the sadness and strain of saying goodbye to this season in the building.
We had a truck and a trailer to help with the move and I was a part of driving the trailer with James over to the storage place. As we reached Byres road, some quirky guy on the pavement reached out his arm and started waving. At first I thought he wanted to hail us like a cab, but alas, no, we had lost four chairs on the main part of Byres road as the trailer door had swung open! James and I fashioned a key to hold it closed after I had run back to retrieve our chairs. As we said, God was watching over us and protecting us- that could’ve been a big accident!Losing the chairs was just enough of a reminder to keep us amused but and reliant on him by getting our notice without allowing a big situation on the streets!
So, yes, I wore flip flops today and the team thought that was a little crazy- they were all working so hard and assumed I wouldn’t manage I guess! I kept all my toes safe and sound though, and had comfy feet enough to capture some of the early stages of the move before we got into the major moving of tables and chairs! Leah changed the prayer wall this week which you can see, and there are also some moving-team-album-cover photos on the church steps at ”95” Great George Street. Enjoy. Check out the carrying of the cross. A random guy on the street even stopped to ask what the deal with a life-size cross is!
