This morning when I woke to the sound of the bread maker's beeping, and as I thrashed the fragrant wholemeal loaf out of it's snug little tin ready for breakfast I thought I needed to make today more than just a day - my husband is *sings* HOME! ...and all of my children are here, alive and well - I needed to make today memorable. So after carving up and slowly savouring said fragrant wholemeal loaf, we packed a flask of tea + some sweet goodies and high-tailed-it to the nearest children's novelty miniature railway! As you do.
Ooh, the Autumn-park-bench-tea-sipping-double-patterned-cardi-pashmina-hot-pink-leggings-Easter goodness of it all..!
But time is so fleeting.
So measured by people, and so completely unimportant to God, who is outside of it! Which always makes me wonder - how real or important is this whole time thing? The mixture between the physical: seconds, hours, days and years - and the spiritual/emotional: moments, lessons and memories of time spent absorbing one another's company, watching children play, and babies grow...
I think time is a mind game. Played, and won by those who walk, in the physical - in order to run, and dance freely in the spiritual.
Thoughts, to be continued...

Love the photos of you and yours in this post.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of time has been on my mind lately too. I never really thought of God's role {or un-role} in it. Thank you for adding another dimension to my thought...
