Busy!

Life just got a bit busy!!

We've been doing some really fun stuff, but the result is that I'm too busy to post about it!!

We've done some art work, been out on several trips, including Beatrix Potter and seeing cows milked and I promise I WILL post some photos and tell more as soon as things calm down a bit.

We're taking a holiday next week and I need to get organised for that and before we go I need to make about 100 cookies to freeze for Father's Day.  I'll explain.  Every year we make sure to include all the women on Mother's Day.  I have both been too far away from my Mum to see her or even talk to her on the phone on Mother's day, and I've known the awful heartache of loosing babies and so being a mum, but not having a baby to show for it because there are all in heaven, and hitting Mother's Day.  Mother's Day can be both wonderful and incredibly painful!  So we always make a fuss of all the ladies on our church, many who are 'Mother's in Israel', and give flowers to all.

This year, a couple of us ladies decided that perhaps Father's Day too had its heartaches and we would like to bless all the men that day.  The question was what to do!  So, we decided to bake a lot of cookies and tie them in nice bags to present to them all.  The only slight problem came when we booked our holiday over Father's Day (not on purpose) and now it's just one more thing to get done before we go!  Another lady will bake too and so everyone will get a mixture of cookies, she'lll just have to defrost mine!  To those of you who thrive on baking this may seem like no big deal, but it is to me!  Maybe I'll even post photos of my attempts!

Baking cookies for Fathers day is a lovely idea. Our church gave all the ladies flowers on Mothers Day this year.
We too are away on our hols for Fathers day. Hope you all have a lovely time.x

Thanks for the well wishes! 10 years already, and what a journey so far!! I get butterflies in my stomoch to think of what God may do next!!

Our Education Committee Meeting went fairly well. I could tell we were all a little nervous, I guess... We ARE going to change the Sunday School Materials, which I am for one very excited about. We are doing something called "Gods Story" which is a chronological journey through scripture, 2 years OT and 2 years NT. I LOVE the whole underlying basis of "Where is Jesus?" where we look at a passage to show the Gospel as it is either forshadowed or come to fruition! It is very Jesus and Gospel centered, and not so much about 'the moral of the story..' if you know what I mean..

All in all it went fairly well, even in spite of a pretty heated discussion about a story book in our old materials that twisted a bit of scripture...

I hope we can urge the children to allow themselves to be challenged in their faith and to grow towards maturity!

Thanks for asking!~

Thanks for your "blog-visit". I've just read your last piece on your blog - life can get so hectic, can't it? Hope your cookie baking goes well and that the men enjoy their treats!
Love and prayers,

That is such a sweet idea. I had never thought about that before, usually we do stuff for all the Mother's at our church.
Have a great vacation.
