As a family, we are celebrating two big birthdays this weekend. My dad, Jim, is 70 and our daughter, Beth is 21! I am at a loss as to how Beth can be 21 by the way, when surely I am still only 21 myself but there we have it!

Milestone birthdays cause us to think and look back and I began to wonder a lot about ‘what ifs’ There are probably hundreds but I will only mention a few relating to my family…what if my dad hadn’t become a Christian when he was a young man, he would never have met my mum and I would never have been born. What if John, my husband, hadn’t given his life to Christ when he was 28 in a little church in Blackpool that my dad was pastoring? We would NEVER had met. Our lives and backgrounds were so completely different…
