On the day before we were perplexed about the picnic day due to the weather forecast seemed to be a heavy rain at Margate. In the morning we started from South Harrow and had a prayer at Heston Methodist Church. Totally we trust the Lord for our good time in Margate.
We were reminded ourselves Psalm 121 and sang together, “Father I place into your hands”. Yes indeed, God was so faithful and we really enjoyed such a lovely and beautiful weather in the seashore at Margate without rain!
Children were excited to swim in the sea with adults and play
cricket as well. I admired their Fathers’ real commitment to look after their children
very carefully in the risky sea shore.
Very caring Parents!
Sharing Food was also brought the Christian community spirit
within us. Breakfast, lunch, tea, coffee and even ice cream were offered for us
to enjoy!
Our small group was a mixed age group. Unfortunately in the
coach CD player was not favour to us. So microphone was provided. People were
singing Christian songs and old well prepared Tamil Cinema songs. Children one
by one shared lovely Bible stories using the microphone. Lovely to hear their
imaginations when they shared the Bible stories as well.
There is no doubt our journey to and from made us to enjoy with Christian loving spirit. The famous song Hallelu..praise ye the Lord was the hit songs of that day !

Everyone had brought something to share with others during
lunch time. The Plenty of food reminded our culture of Asian hospitality and Christian community
spirit!
Above all God blessed us throughout the day. Though we were
very few in numbers we really had a fun, fellowship and friendship.
I was thinking and reflecting about one of Jesus miracles, He
blessed 5 loaves and 2 fish and fed more than 5000 men. It was such an
experience. When we have Christ like
nature even a few can be a model of overflowing blessing to many!
All glory to God!
