Helping Genesis manager to relax

Chris Callaghan is the resident manager at House of Genesis, a Norwich Christian project which provides supportive accommodation for homeless single men and especially ex offenders. This is his story…

 

Living and working at The House of Genesis has been a responsibility and an honour that we know that God has blessed us with. 

 

We always knew that spending quality time as a family would be essential for our long-term well-being and sanity. We had budgeted carefully for a few weekends away in our caravan and with family in Essex but as great as they were they didn't really give us a relaxing holiday away from the hectic life we know and love in Norwich.

 

Dreams & Visions gave us an opportunity to take a 10-day holiday to Tunisia last October. We had a great time as a family and we both managed to take a turn in looking after Joshua so the other could enjoy some "child-free" time with a book by the pool. The food was great and we enjoyed 10 days without washing-up.

 

Joshua loved the disco for the children and we all had the chance to ride on a camel. We all came back with a healthy glow and with recharged batteries for a few more months. We thank God for the blessing that we have received as we really appreciate the importance of quality time together as a family unit.
