Today was our first
venture onto the streets of Glasgow. It was forecast rain but did not rain. But
as we made ourselves available in the eventuality of rain we invited people to
interact in a different way with the community of faith. I felt it was important
to offer a different message to the others being spoken and discussed by
Christians and other groups out today. We wanted Glasgow to know that they are
loved and either through a free hug of just the invitation for someone to be
heard. The general response was of amusement, people were flattered, some were
quite moved and grateful. Billy sculpted some balloons for passers-by. Instead
of feeling frustrated he demonstrated continued optimism and enthusiasm to
bless people. My new friend has shown me the fun in free hugs which is a gift
and I look forward to seeing God share much more with the people of Scotland
through him in the near future.
