Happy Birthday my Love! Yesterday/today was Tommy's birthday, and the first birthday in our new family :) What a blessing it was to spend the day celebrating the past 25 years of his life, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for the next 25!
Being in a new country it is sometimes hard to find a gift, or even a good place for a special birthday dinner, but after a recommendation by a friend I found just the place. We went to dinner at "table for 20", and it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. It was just the food though that made it great, it was everything about the experience. Their slogan put it into words very well,
"IN SURRY HILLS ONE GUY IS REINVENTING THE IDEA OF THE EVENING MEAL BY OPENING HIS SPACE FOR A WEEKLY GATHERING OF FRIENDS & STRANGERS. SO GRAB YOURSELF A SEAT, PASS THE WINE & PITCH IN BECAUSE THIS IS NEIGHBOURHOOD DINING AT IT'S VERY BEST. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF NORMAL RESTAURANTS IN SYDNEY. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM."
Table for 20 is not only a restaurant but also a ministry. Their ministry Hope Street is an outreach ministry to those who haven't heard the good news of the gospel. "HopeStreet works alongside the most marginalised people in our city, through programs aimed at empowering people toward the fullness of life for which we were all created." The restaurant and bar are what financially support the ministry and their love for God was evident throughout the entire meal, the way they served, the way the loved and they way the treated each and everyone as though they were family was amazing.
So if you are ever in Sydney (which hopefully you will all come to visit) you should for sure check it out, for it is a wonderful example of God's love in action.
