REMEMBERING NEIL

We had a football tournament today in memory of a lovely little lad from school who died a couple of years ago in a tragic car accident. Lots of kids from neighbouring schools took part and all in all it was a successful event. The weather was kind to us and the rain just started as the children got their buses to leave. It was lovely to see teenagers who used to be in Neil's class return for the day to support the tournament and spend time reminiscing with Neil's parents. It meant so much to them that their special son was being remembered in this fitting way.
Neil asked Jesus to be his Saviour just three weeks before he died and his passing has touched the lives of so many over the last few years.
I feel blessed to have known him and have the calm assurance that he's in Heaven today.
