Rosa had her big party over the weekend. It was so lovely to have family and friends together. The kids romped around in the back yard and we adults managed to catch up in between nappy changes, checking on kids, etc.
David preached at our local church on Sunday too. He went over and over his notes and I caught a photo of him revising one last time on the staircase before leaving for the service. He preached from 1 Thessalonians (broad overview) and was encouraging believers to really persevere in their faith and to watch their lives and doctrine closely. I would have loved to have been in the service but thought that if I was then no one else might hear it at all for my noisy little Rosa! The pastor kindly sat near the boys so I could be out with Rosa. I did strain to hear the service from the back room but was thankful that David had 'practised' his sermon on me already at home. I think he did a fantastic job of presenting God's Word (though of course I cannot claim to be free from bias!)
