where can I go that you are not? (psalm 4)

where can I go that You are not?

When I am asleep You are there

When I wake and am cross You are there

When I forget to say good morning You are there

When I am rushing to get the kids to school, daycare and me to work You are there

As I rush about my work day You are there

As I sit alone and ponder life and its constant worries You are there

As I pick up the kids, walk the dog, get the tea, wash up, bath the kids, fold the clothes……… You are there.

As I fall asleep watching the TV You are there

You are there; watching, guiding, whispering,loving.

Always the same, always just, perfect, beautiful

Thank you that there is no where on this earth that I can be and you are not

even when I cant see you for the dark that surrounds me.

what’s an iron do mum?

lou| Category: Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Traveling home on the train last night my nine year old some how got on to the topic of ironing, with her grandmother.

She turned to me and said “mum what does ironing do?” 

In response my mother in law nearly fell of her seat with laughter as she knows well that the iron does not venture out of the cupboard more than 2-3 times a year, a running joke in my family.

She was quite miffed when it was explained to her that why we were laughing and exclaimed ” I do know what an iron is I’ve seen them on TV.
