Only one life

Holiday reading. Jay thought he'd join in this time:


















and meanwhile Joshua actually said he'd finish the dishes for me (totally his idea) ! I must say I had to get this on on camera. And check it out - he's actually smiling! Love, love LOVE it!



















Well so far we have pottered about the house, Josh had a go at a Lego building Challenge in local shopping centre, stocked up on library books, we've had fun with an apple slinky machine and now Josh is off camping with Grandma! Haven't ventured too far with snoggly noses and barking coughs:)

I have found that the children just love for me to join them outside - to swing them on our tree swing, to lift up their legs onto the swinging bars, to lie in the grass while they jump all over me, to show me their goofy antics and when they turn ten to try out their new song lyrics :) Can't help but think of how quickly life passes and how important is the here and now...

When Papa arrived home tonight he said there was a car accident which blocked up the road a very long way in both directions. The cause: a fatal car accident. Someone didn't make it home from work. I guess you can see how my thoughts travelled?

Only one life, t'will soon be past.
Only what's done for Christ will last.

Amen to "Only one life, t'will soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last." We were just 30 seconds behind a terrible accident recently. Life is so precious! Your baby has got soooo big and gorgeous! Love to you all from us!
