Kimi and Alex

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."

(3 John :v 4)

Our busy lives can sometimes get us into all sorts of problems, not having time for those important things we should be doing.

Yesterday was one of those days, well evenings, Pauline had her book group dinner at a restaurant in town and I had forgotten that I was sitting for Becky, so she also could get out for a break with the girls.But I had failed to remember this when we agreed to host the prayer meeting.

In the end it worked out ok, we welcomed the prayer group and left it in Vaughan and Maries' capable hands and Gods of course.

Becky is the friend who's husband was killed in a motorcycle accident a few years ago,and Kimi and Alex are her adorable children.

To spend time with these two was such a wonderful gift, Alex started off in his mums bed listening to Horace's Horrible Medicine on cd, while downstairs Kimi read me The Twits by Roald Dahl. Kimi is an avid reader and wants to be an author.

Then we were talking and she told me how she could play the guitar, I suggested she play me something ,

"Elvis songs"

"Ok"

She put on the cd and played along to Hound Dog and Blue Swede Shoes.

She then put on a worship cd and danced beautifully.

Then Alex came down and joined us,Kimi had said Alex wanted to be an illustrator, so we all did drawings together.

Time was pressing on and bedtime beckoned.

But Alex got out his magic set and they did some tricks.

I suggested we had a story and Alex produced a pile of short story books He wanted me to read.

Story time began and we worked our way trough the stack of books.

During the last book Dick Whittington, Kimi heard the front door, the time had passed so quickly and Becky was home, Kimi ran to her room and got into bed as her mum came up the stairs, and I just managed to finish the last story.

Sometimes the simple things in life are so precious, no tv, just quality time spent with children , priceless, these two fatherless children have been brought up so well to be free, encouraged by a wonderful mother to enjoy life to the full. I had a great time it was a real privilege to be part of the family for an evening. Hope to spend more.

Bless them
