Paul

On Saturday we had a rare day out and travelled to Pip 'n' Jay in Bristol for a service to celebrate the life of Paul. The church was full with friends from university, school, and church. What a roller-coaster of emotions, from laughter to tears, from mourning to celebration:
'So let my heart be full, and let my heart sing!
For I know that you'll be spending this Christmas with your King!
It breaks our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God took you home.'
Paul had so much potential, but the service highlighted the fact that he achieved so much and influenced so many lives in his 19 years - challenging to those of us who are more than double his age. P
