My Christmas Day...........

Christmas day was manic in my household as you can imagine!!!  We were all excited, Jack especially as Santa came to visit!!! 

It was wonderful to spend the day with my Grandparents.  They love the noise and commotion a young family brings, they join in all the games and we all do have a giggle. Each year I note one thing that makes my Christmas.  This year amidst all the mayhem and noise my grandparents brought me the greatest happiness.  The whole time we opened our presents they sat there holding hands and smiling at each other.
The whole time we played games or watched the film their love for each other radiated.

After 49 years of marriage and 52 years of being together, I think that is an amazing thing and something I can only ever wish and pray for.

Emma, I TOTALLY, TOTALLY, TOTALLY agree. They have given us such a great example of what marriage can be. I'm sure there are times when they wind each other up and maybe they don't like each other, but those days are very much outweighed by the days when they love, care and respect each other.

Lord You're Holy.......

I have been reflecting in many things this week and a real song of meditation and amazing worship for me has been Karen Wheaton "Lord You're Holy" . I was introduced to it at Kingdom Faith by Jane Urquhart at an amazing women's conference I attended there. The Lyrics are just awesome which is why I wanted to share them with you. Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name I look around and I see, All the works Your hands have made, The awesomeness of You, And how Your love will never fade, Mere words cannot express what I feel inside, I can’t describe Your glory divine, But as a token of my love, This is what I’ll do, I lift my hands and cry, Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name There’s not enough words that I can say, To tell You how much, I appreciate, all the wonderful things, You’ve given me, Your love and kindness, Your tender mercies, It’s my desire, to praise You and to tell You how much,...

Channel Four.......

This evening I watched a programme called 'The Virgin Daughters" on channel four.  It was all about purity and sex before marriage. I have to be truthful it totally freaked me.   I really believe that marriage is sacred and an act that shouldn't be taken into lightly, I also whole- heartedly  believe that you should save yourself for marriage. Saving yourself however I don't believe means you cant hold hands or kiss.  God isn't going to be upset with you because you kissed a boy at the age of 15, you aren't going to be unclean for holding someone of the opposites sex hand.  It makes me think what impression are we giving to younger non-Christians, 'if you become a Christian you cant hold you boyfriend/girlfriends hand until you're married'; that is insane and frankly I don't think 98% of young people will buy into. Also no offense to my Dad, however I don't want him to pick my future husband.  If my previous boyfriends asked my Dads permissi...
