It has been a drizzly, indoor sort of day. We have continued to enjoy our reading of Jim Elliot book together. Josh read a bit and I read a bit and we made our way through a chapter discussing the challenges Jim faced deciding where to focus his life and where to serve the Lord. He was very passionate about sharing the gospel and used as many opportunities as he could. He also had missions constantly at the back of his mind - ie. at one stage his brother and sister-in-law asked if he could help build their house and he was keen, knowing that building skills might later help him in his mission work...
In the afternoon we headed to a Bunnings craft activity. My friend, Susan, kindly organised this activity with the staff at Bunnings. They were happy to cater for some home schooling families and so the first session today was related to Valentines Day.
My brother, Sam is here with us for a couple of days. He came down to attend a work conference. The conference is now finished so he is having a couple of days with us - much to the special delight of the boys! Joshua waited out by the gate to see him arrive. When he did arrive, Joshua heroically offered to carry his luggage and then ended up falling over from the weight of it as he was trying to load it onto his bike.... I was inside and happened to glance out the window. Honestly it was quite commical!
