HUMMING BIRDS IN NOVEMBER SNOW STORM
Today we were amazed to see some visitors who I'm sure must be very much 'out of season' here on the Puget Sound, WA. It is 23 degrees farenheight/ feels like 9F with wind - in plain English that is -12 Celsius outside. At one point after the first power outage, I was a bit concerned our freezers would defrost if the power stayed off too long ( we made a group decision we could throw the frozen Thanksgiving Turkeys we are 'hosting' in the snow until the power came back on if they began to defrost!!!). For now though, we are all systems go and all power is on again!
We have had at least 5-8 inches of snow and is still falling.......... love it... the power outages allowed Elijah and Esther to have some serious fun with our torches (flash light to the Yanks) ... Thank God we had some candles 'in house' and nice smelly ones too. What a fantastic day, watching the most amazing flakes of snow fall as a backdrop to some beautiful humming birds feeding from outside our living room window. The last 3 were taken from outside balancing on a chair about a foot away from feeder; the humming bird didn't even notice me stood there, waiting for him to come and feed... God you make all things well........ I love you X

‘NO-ONE HAS HIRED US’ THEY SAID
Tonight I was pondering again and for some reason this article I wrote in 2002 came back to my mind. I thought about posting it in the morning, but as that was two hours ago and I still am awake and thinking about it... I decided this may need immediate attention... Now I sleep and you read :)
INTRODUCTION
Today was a very special day in the history of the city where I live. Newport in South Wales, United Kingdom has recently been granted city status from our previous status as a town. Today is the day that Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England came to visit us as part of her Golden Jubilee celebrations, and to announce by Royal decree the honour she has bestowed on our town.
Throughout these Golden Jubilee celebrations the Lord has been giving me fresh insight to His kingdom; whenever I read, or watch anything related to the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, I am always expectant that the Lord may want to show me something more. So when the Queen visited us today, I was not surprised when some of the issues the church are going to have to adjust to in this late hour were being exposed before my eyes.
THE WAIT
It was 12.30pm and we decided to make our way to the city centre to wait for the arrival of the Queen. She was due to walk through the main street between 2.30 and 3.00pm. As we arrived, there were already people standing behind the crowd protection barriers, they had been waiting for sometime (some as early as 8am) to get the best view of the queen. These people appeared to be very loyal supporters of the queen. This was evident from their commitment to stand for hours waiting for their precious reward ‘a glimpse of royalty’.
As time went on and the crowds filled in behind us, we all got quite ‘snug’ as we waited. Entertainers were called to perform for the children; the wait for whom must have seemed like eternity!
THE LITTLE CHILDREN
It was at about 1.30pm when I realised a little girl about 8 years old was standing next to me crying. Apparently, she had made her way to the barrier (two rows in front of us) and slipped between two women to hopefully get a glimpse of the queen; unfortunately she had been pushed back as the women would not yield.
A friend of mine had seen the incident and was quite close to the women, so she promptly pushed her way to the front to speak them.
“Do you realise you have made this little girl cry by pushing her to the back” she said.
Their defence was that they had the right to stay in position because they had been waiting there the longest. They were quite determined to stand ‘their’ ground and they did! At this point the little girl had withdrawn from the commotion and was stood next to me. As her tear’s quietly streamed down her cheeks and were dripping off her chin, I raised her face to look at me. The expression of disappointment was too obvious to hide; I couldn’t help myself and found myself saying, “Its OK you’ll see the Queen, you can sneak through that gap when she starts to arrive!”
At this her eyes began to smile and the tears stopped flowing. This simple word of encouragement gave her instant hope; this positive comment affected her whole posture, and her outlook regarding the event that was to follow. She now had a raised level of expectation and as time moved on I couldn’t help but notice she had decided she was going to stick to me like glue until she had seen the Queen!

Phase 3 - OPEN ROAD - 2008 ARGENTINA - i) The Childrens Home
We arrived in Argentina after a 9 hour and a 10 hour flight back to back. As we settled for take off on the second flight the captain announced there would be a slightly longer detour to avoid the path of Hurricane Ike which was moving over South America - not the most comforting news for a reluctant flyer-but after 9 hours, and 10 hours more, it all feels the same after a while.
We were met at the airport in Buenos Airies by my brother-in-law Raul, known to our children as Tio Raulie and our niece Ruth and her daughter Bianca. Raulie and his wife Mirtha run a christian orphanage just outside the capital with very little funds and do an amazing job. I was humbled and honoured to stay there with them for our first week to see what a fantastic job they do with the children. Some children are there for a few months while adjustments can be made to home situations, some remain longer. I was honoured to meet two of the lads who are brothers and have been there most of their lives. My husband tells me when they went to school as children, they would call themselves Lampan as they considered themselves part of my brother-in- laws family, they still do. When I stayed there for a week, living with them all together, I saw just how much of a family and how much all the children who live there are loved and love my in laws.
One of the brothers' Tadeo' I saw on my husbands website in 2001 when he was about 6 and I began to pray for him and prayed that one day if possible I would meet him. I was not even married to my husband then and had no connections to Argentina. That prayer was answered on this trip and I told Tadeo I had prayed for him many years before, and it was an answer to prayer to meet him.
Both boys are lovely caring lads as you will see from some of the photos with our daughter, as were all the children. Each day the younger children would knock my door when they got in from school and then come in to give me a hug and say Hola Tia Claire. Academically both Tadeo and Freddie have done well too; the younger brother - 'freddy' was in college while we were there training to be a PE teacher. The brothers are long term care children, yet have been brought up as part of The Lampan family. This was not an orphanage that I saw, it their home. This same home is the home where Rauli and Mirtha raised there own three children too, a place where they all learned together about love, discipline, but most of all Jesus.
Every Sunday all the family go to their local pentecostal church, freddie also plays his guitar in the worship team. Beginning at the Children Home shaped my whole trip - to see how two people can live out a God given vision with such selfless love and compassion, was a gem I will always treasure. Now here are the photos.
