Stewart 5

Tonight is our last night in Pretoria.  Tomorrow, we pack away last things, take care of final details here, and head to the airport.  It’s hard to believe that we are moving and ending our time with the team we have worked with for over 6 years.  Yes, we know this season is done and God has new and exciting things ahead.  Yet we are feeling somewhere between sad and surreal in leaving.

Thanks to all who have made these last years so special.  And here’s to all those we jounrey with in days ahead!

Pretoria is not the coldest place in South Africa.  But tonight, it will get down to about 2 degrees c (35 F).  In winter, you may experience the same temperature where you live.  But imagine…

Having no heater when it is that cold

Having no insulation when it is that cold

Living in a tin shack with a dirt floor when it is that cold

Having no electricity when it is that cold

Having no car when it is that cold

This is the reality for many South Africans tonight.  There is no escaping the cold when you live like many do here, as I’ve described above.  Our family is fortunate – we have a house with walls, some carpet, a small space heater, a car.  We will be cold tonight, but won’t suffer.

I know that most of you will read this in places where it is summe now, and you are in the opposite situation and can hardly imagine what this is like.  But remember.  Remember for those who can’t choose to be warm.  Join us in saying a prayer tonight for those who are cold.
