Muddle headed mother

My hubby brought a big smile to my face today with a funny link he emailed me.

Let me explain... I guess I have a bit of a reputation for forgetting to return library books on time. I am not too bad now that the library sends out automatic reminders a few days before they are due - (bless their hearts!) On one occasion the library computers must not have worked and so my reliance on this system failed and so I received the important email a little too late. I managed to speak to one of the few soft-hearted librarians who let me off with a talking to and a reminder that next time that wouldn't be an acceptable excuse - the scolding 'I must not rely on technology!' ringing in my head all the way home...

well this is the link my hubby sent me with the subject of email: it happens to the best of us:)

At least the librarians were a little more kind-hearted back then:)

ps - just realised I double-booked two very important events on the same day....eeekk! I do actually have a calendar, I just forget to put information into it:) :) LOL

anyone have a remedy for muddle-headed/scatterbrains like myself?

be kind now...

Jay's Dedication

Children truly are a gift and a heritage from the Lord. On Sunday 11th April we had a dedication service for Jayden and three other babies at our church. It was a great service and a reminder to teach our children the ways of the Lord from the time they rise in the morning until they sleep at night. A reminder that they need to hear and see the love of God in our lives. A reminder that we cannot save our children but we can plead for their souls in prayer.

I especially appreciated the letter that the pastor wrote to each child, a letter for them to open when their parents feel they are old enough to take seriously and understand. The letter explained to the child that their parents have made a commitment to train them in the Lord's ways but that their desire is that their child will grow to have a personal faith in Christ.

We enjoyed some time with family and a few friends for lunch afterwards.

It was very special to have my Mum able to fly down for the occasion.

and to let the kids indulge in some very cute cupcakes made by Aunty A!

but the day must have proved taxing for such a young chap:
