What do you do when your child has an "accident" on the bedroom carpet, and while you're cleaning it up with vinegar water, another child trips over the bucket, sending it flying all over what was left of the dry carpet?? You put down lots of towels and vacate the house for a while!

We woke up this morning to a cold, grey and rainy day. And some sniffley and out-of-sorts children. Oh no! I had to cancel looking after two little boys, who's Mumma was due to give birth a few days ago (the poor thing) as  I didn't want to pass along any of our sickiness to their blossoming family. So, after a sloooww morning, and everything turning to custard, I bundled up my babies and we took off for a visit to some friends, who don't mind our germies. :-P It was such a blessed time of fellowship! The lady is such a sweet Christian woman, who just oozes warmth and the love of Christ. Me and mine trudged into her house and were welcome with open arms. It was so lovely! She has four young boys of her own, so it was an absolute delight to my munchkins to spend times with hers. A cup of coffee, wonderful conversation, and some freshly baked cookies (at which Livvy could barely contain her excitement!) made my morning seem soo much easier to cope with! She sent me home armed with a child-training dvd (one I've been wanting to see for the longest time!), an Above Rubies magazine, and Christian's freshly washed and dried blankie. I'm so spoiled!!
 God is so wonderful to give us friends to help along life's way. It is a treasure that I will never ever take for granted! Of course, I came home all inspired and have been busily making up stock concentrates to take to various other friends. Just sharing the Love! :-)
