Ho ….Ho ….Choo!

Hiya folks!
Hope you’ve all had a good and holy Christmas, and I must say, that despite hearing from friends, family and shop assistants that Christmas was done with on the 25th December, it ain’t over yet….Christmas is a season and not a day! So therefore, I hope that you are still enjoying Christmas!
We’re having a [...]

We wish you a doggie Christmas!

Today I thought it would be fun to get the dogs together to snap a few doggie Christmas pics and trying to get the shots below took me right back to the end of the 1980’s when I was working at a professional portrait photographer. When I used to work in the studio all those [...]

Lest we forget

Our God is the God of all and we should of course, endeavour to pray for and help to provide for and care for, those with greater needs than our own. The diasdvantaged, underpriviliged, lonely, sick and housebound are not a ‘Christmas Cause’, they are an all year around people with all [...]

Home Made Christmas Cookies

Continuing with the theme of Christmas gifts, I must say that getting creative is one of the best ways I’ve found of minimising the cost of Christmas and of giving a gift which is very much appreciated by the recipient.
I was watching shopping TV recently (I’m not perfect) and on it they had a [...]

Savvy?

I know that my children won’t love me more whether I spend £100 on them or £1000. I also know that what kids want isn’t necessarily what they need or what they’ll get. The truth is, I can’t afford to spend like crazy this Christmas, and I’m not sure that it would be a [...]

Bloggin’ Blessing

Edited:~ It’s been pointed out to me that if a recipient chooses not to play the game, we’re stuffed, so I’ve ammended the number of recipients to hopefully allow some fluidity to the Bloggin’ Blessing game!
This is an e-card with a difference.
I hope that it becomes a means of blessing that you will [...]

Happy 43rd Wedding Anniversary!

Mum’s Birthday in Wales 6th August 2007
Today my parents celebrate their 43rd Wedding Anniversary. At almost 40 years of age myself, and unmarried, I’ll never experience being married to someone for such an incredibly long time, but I do content myself in the knowledge that if it be the Lord’s will that [...]

Babybel

No, I’m not referring to the much eaten  cheese preserved in red wax and cellophane, I refer instead, to my pooch.
Yesterday morning I took her to the vets and left her there all day while they operated on her to remove the lump that has grown with alarming rapidity,  near to her breast. The lump [...]

About a boy….

This happened a couple of weeks ago while I was on a blog-break, I was tempted to break the blog-fast to ask your prayers but managed not to. Though I did write about what happened, in draft form, to share with you later on. Like now….
Ring ring, ring ring…
“Hello?”, I say
“Hello is that [...]

Brother Lawrence’s First Letter

An excerpt from the First Letter of Brother Lawrence:
“After having given myself wholly to God, that He might take away my sin, I renounced, for the love of Him, everything that was not He; and I began to live as if there was none but He and I in the world.”
On first reading that Brother [...]

Unhinged and anxious

So the door came off in my daughters hands…it literally came off it’s hinges….and could I find a decent screwdriver anywhere?
Nope.
I found a broken screwdriver, some glue that had hardened in the tube and 3 wonky nails….I did the best I could though, and with the aid of a piece of cutlery, a lot [...]

Practising the Presence of God with Brother Lawrence

Brother Lawrence was a 17th Century French Carmelite who spent most of his time working in the kitchen of a monastery in Paris. I first came across his writings a few months ago, and despite struggling with the preface and ‘conversations’ of the first part of his book, ‘The Practice of the Presence [...]

Scrooging on the Christmas Cheer

It was with some huffing and puffing that I made my way into a too- busy, bustling supermarket to buy a basketful of Christmas cards last week.
I wiped my brow, took a deep breath and battled through the minefield of all things sparkly and bright in an attempt to find ‘religiously themed cards’. I couldn’t [...]

The fruits of disciplined blogging

The increase in my productivity has been nothing short of staggering during my self imposed, month long blog-fast. I’ve been more productive this past month, than I have been in the previous 12 months. I’ve finished projects I was working on, begun projects I procrastinated about starting for months beforehand, and it has all been [...]
