Happy Easter
However you spend today may you know the great hope and freedom that comes from the LOVE that triumphs over death. “It means,” said Aslan, “that though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of Time. But [...]
The Best Friday
Today is important for me. Today I reminded that I am worth a King’s ransom – the life of his son in exchange for all my baggage and all that holds me back. And I am reminded that this sacrifice wasn’t just for ‘good’ people, for a specific people group, for a set time in [...]
Happy Friday
I love by stopping to be grateful each week I am challenged to notice good things each week. This week I am loving bloggers – last week I had the joy of an evening with Meghan. We took in Te Papa’s wedding dress collection and she took me out for Gelato to Kaffe Eis. Mmmmm. [...]
Farewell 2011
On the last day of this year… and what a year it has been I will take a breath and be grateful for the beautiful moments, and there have been many I will close the chapter on this year – triumphs and disasters, victories and regrets, marvellous and mundane I will look forward to a [...]
Finally Another Family Night
Flip has been saying for so long – ‘We need to have a family night’ So inspired by Cat’s cool family night I stole her idea. We talked about the Creator and how we see amazing things in the way we are made. How we see all the incredible variation in trees, people, animals…. things that [...]
Thursday Thought
What if our children grew up to be exactly the people they heard us describe them as? Not the comments to them but the ones we say about them to others in their earshot. The tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit. This is not [...]
Happy Easter
When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died; my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his [...]
Cheats ‘Fancy’ Eggs
I originally got this idea from Sophie Gray. You take a cheap ($2 in my case) hollow egg, mine are 70 g each. You split it along the edges – not as simple as it would seem! Then you fill it with treats. Then you re-seal it along the edges – not simple when you have made [...]
The Best Friday
Easter has begun. I have made more hot crossed buns from this lovely blog. I added a little bit of honey to my crosses as well. Good Friday the worst possible day, the most amazing day. Today I’m including some quotes from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S.Lewis. Part of the Narnia [...]
Lent – What’s It Going to Be?
Weds 9th of March officially marks the start of lent. Being a ‘modern’ church kind of lass we often miss out on the wonderful occurrences in the church calendar and I have wanted to be more involved in celebrating the significant events of the church year. So this year I decided to ‘do lent’. Traditionally [...]
