Friday, April 17, 2009 ~ Vegemite and Parenting |
Read this article by my Mum:
This reminds me of something I read by Ken Ham in a Creation magazine today. My narration:
How come Australians love Vegemite, where Americans can't stand the taste of it? (Stick with me!). Australians grow up with the taste of Vegemite, and acquire the taste of it, but Americans don’t acquire the taste for it, so when they taste it for the first time they go a-spluttering for a drink of water. Needless to say, they don’t like it at all!
In the same way, parents need to give their children the Word and teach the Lord's Way at a young age, giving them a 'taste' for it -so like David, they can pray, "My soul thirsts for you."
Allow me to backtrack for a moment: one of my favourite artists of all times is Colin Buchanan. For many years now, he has been writing songs and recording CDs for kids. This Aussie writes awesome, fun, Christian songs. One of the reasons I love Colin Buchanan's work is because it has given me a foundation for my faith. I've grown up listening to his songs sung straight from scripture. Thanks Colin for all you’ve invested into my life! You can visit his website at ColinBuchanan.com.au
I wasn't 'saved from the depths of the grave' or anything dramatic, but I do have a Christian Heritage. My Mum and Dad have fed me with the Christian faith ever since I was born, showing me how faithful and true our loving, awesome Creator, Lord and Saviour, is! So what's your story? How have your Mum and Dad helped you in your walk with Jesus?

G'day, greetings and salutations
Hi and welcome to Little Miss Giggles' blog! My name is Jessica Letchford, otherwise known as Jess, who loves life and despises sleeping in. Reading, organizing, ancient history, computers, crafts, school and writing are just some of my hobbies. I also extremely enjoy singing, playing the piano and praising and worshiping our Awesome God! Because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we can choose to live life, flying the banner of love and flag of joy …so have a wonderfully fantazgreat day!
As I have moved in the blog-o-world, you can find me at JessicaLetchford.wordpress.com where I write about God, crafts, my life and organizing! Hope to see you there and God bless!
This blog is for me to share the things I have been learning, the photos we’ve been snapping, and character sketches as I learn more about living for the glory of God.

Jessica's favorite quotes"A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting."— Henry David Thoreau
