Life changing revelations!

So I knew B was about to read a chapter of Luke's Gospel, I'm upstairs doing some work while she does, and then she comes running.

"I've had a revelation! It's life changing!"

So I get internally excited that she's had some kind of spiritual epiphany.

"Yes! I've just discovered that your foot is the same length as your arm between your elbow and your wrist!!"

Haha, kids, they keep you on planet earth.

Day out at a local historical mill

We had a day out at Helmshore Mills today. Brilliant place, free for kids and only £4 for adults. 

They're about to have their funding cut by the council and possibly close. So sad, it's part of our local heritage!

Those were the days...hahaha

Popping seeds

Summer house

Today's job was to paint the summer house.

We all pitched in and it now looks lovely!

Grandma

Said goodbye to my little Grandma today, it was her funeral.

It's been a hard hard day. But sitting here remembering my little grandma I'm so grateful to God for her life. She may have been tiny and getting on a bit, lol, but she was a strong lady. She went through unbelievable hardships but never stopped wanting to care for others.

This was the scripture that got her through it all:

"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." (Psalm 139:7-10)

Grandma

Today we lost my lovely little Grandma.

She passed away in her sleep.

I thank God for her life. What a blessing she was.

Beautiful drawings

L has been drawing.

I think these are great!

Decorating

I've been decorating L's room.

I'm quite pleased with the paint effect, I was a little worried it would go wonky!
