A Parent's Love

This week we bought tickets to see the Wiggles when we are in Perth in December.  I'm really excited - not because the Wiggles is my live show of choice, nor because I'm a rare parent who is not driven crazy by daily repetitions of their music (I am - driven crazy that is) but because I know that my daughter is going to love it.  Like any parent I get a real kick out of seeing her joy and excitement.

In Luke 11, Jesus talks about His Father's joy in giving to His children.  As he put it (and I paraphrase), if we as imperfect but well-intentioned parents love giving good things to our children, how much more does God love giving even better things to His children (verse 13).

It has been too long....!

My first post since June!  I have lots of thoughts in my head but obviously I haven't made time to put them down.  Mostly it's because of a 90cm, 12kg bundle of energy who likes interaction with Mum much more than amusing herself.  I find that with playgroup and other such activities, shopping (mostly for groceries), housework & cooking and then playing with Cassie I don't get a lot of spare time.

I'm feeling REALLY tired at the moment.  Cassie has been waking up quite a lot at night or far too early (4:30am) but maybe it's also the change of "seasons".  Mt Isa doesn't have obvious seasons but recently the winter has definitely gone and we're reaching into temperatures in the high 30's.  It's going to be a looooong summer.  I shall try to punctuate it with more posts and hopefully some provocative and interesting discussions on issues close to my heart.
