Yesterday a friend popped in and said "you and John go and have lunch together somewhere nice and I will watch the kids and feed them." Not many people would offer to watch 11 kids for a couple of hours. John and I grabbed the opportunity and went for soup at snapdragons in Newcastle Emlyn. As we sat there by the river just enjoying the peace and quiet and each other I realized our need for others. I think sometimes I like to feel I can cope just fine by myself as relationships can be hard work and demanding. But it is that old philosophy of 'what goes around, comes around' and when we reach out to those around us amazing treasures come back to us like lunch at snapdragons.
