    About this ebook

    Over the course of many years, I have written various things to
    commemorate occasions, which included church activities, the wifes many
    birthdays, wedding anniversaries, holidays, Christmas and Easter times,
    to name but a few. These items seem to have had a life of their own and
    obeyed the call to go forth and multiply. I hadnt realised just how many
    there were.
    Writing them has given me much pleasure and satisfaction over many
    years, and their recipients seemed to have appreciated them, so I have been
    persuaded to offer them to a wider readership. I hope that readers will find
    a few chuckles, a few moments for thought, and, above all, encouragement
    in their Christian life.

      “May you live in interesting times” is a Chinese saying, and no doubt 2021 hit the mark. Having just read your December issue, I find myself reflecting over the last 12 months. I pulled out my pile of Country Style magazines and thought back on the e
