Surprisingly, it was 4 years last week that we shrink wrapped all our remaining pocessions into this 7ft by 7ft by 5ft wooden packing case before flying off to Bethlehem in the West Bank. It was all quite traumatic at the time, storing everything that felt so precious and so important to us. Now all these years later, I am not really sure what is actually in there; perhaps some Ikea furniture, a guitar , a camera. 2 months ago we did the same but in reverse. We flew home from Israel/Palestine with 2 suitcases, a rucksack and computer bag each. In 4 years I have learnt to live with less; admittedly we have left some non -valuable stuff in Nazareth but I am aware that we are shrinking as we go.
As we are travelling around the UK visiting our Churches and supporters we take a tiny 'snail shell' of belongings; mainly 'techy' stuff - computers, cell phone a few clothes. I have definitely learnt to be content with less. Jane
