I am (still- though past retirement age) a tutor at a Dyslexia Centre and also many of our children and young people have ADD - or ADHD- with added hyperactivity! What a woneul testimony to God's Grace and provision! Also the original ways of Church Planting reminds me of our Church's involvement with "Fresh Expressions of Church"- a C of E initiative. Out of that came a club for children and parents, in a local school, which offered lots of activities and an optional informal talk with choruses.This brough many young families into our church, and the February holiday club this year was inspirational. The way the youngsters sang "Above All" was incredibly moving- and they preferred that to the more lively choruses! <br />Incidentally- I can relate so much to finding God's presence in the woods and fields and especially by water. We are blessed here with an oasis of unspoilt countryside despite being so near towns. I often find I can pray better in the countryside! <br />Thank you for sharing this story, it's great!

I agree also with Dudley about "the Divine Imprint" - even among those who do not follow Christ." It's so true that reading about abuse, neglect and cruelty can be depressing, so we need to keep a balanced view, and to remind each other that there are more examples of love and caring and kindness, but these are probably not deemed "newsworthy." I have often thought we may need some enterprising person to start a "GOOD NEWSpaper"- with articles that celebrate the kindness and caring that exists in our world; all that is best in humanity. A GOOD NEWSpaper would not advertise in a way that implies that people are only worth what their possessions are worth, or only acceptable if they conform to a prescribed "image", but would celebrate the fact that people are precious and that God loves them. You could say that blogs like this are as near to a "GOOD NEWSpaper" as we are ever likely to get!

However, as your story so aptly describes, what we see in humanity - yes, even among those who do not follow Christ - the Divine Imprint, the capacity and the willingness to afford dignity, care, compassion, and joy to another person. This is, I now believe, what God intended, and sometimes people outside of the church put it into practice more than those who are deemed religious. Thanks for sharing such a compelling image today, Charles. I'll be watching for someone's hand to hold...
