How far is too far?

Many times I wonder how far can one go before its too far from the reach of God? Is there a point of no return?

Then I think of my kids and the fact that no matter what they do, yes I might be upset or disappointed, but the minute they say Dad I'm sorry I will immediately forgive them and help them not do it again... I mean Michaela cries at times when she realizes what she done was wrong.

In the same way God is a forgiving and mercifull God. It so evident in the story of the Prodical Son who consciously asked for his inheritance and went to a far off country to live in sin and spend all he had... and then oneday he "came to his senses" and returned back home. His father was over whelmed to see the son return... He did not even give him a chance to say sorry or explain first, he just accepted him as he was.

So to we are never to far to return to the calling/purpose God has for our lives.

Jeffs Holiday 2015

The cold weather did not stop us from having a short holiday this winter.

We spent a few days at Mentors Kraal in Jeffs... as you can see the cold weather did not stop Micah from wanting to play outside.

On our way home we stopped at a Pancake house called Suiker Bessie... yummmmmmmmy!!!

Our boy turns 2months

It has now been 2months since you Malachi met us... what a blessing he is.

I cannot start to count the number of kisses and hugs you receive from us (more Michaela and Micah) each day.

And that beautiful smile you now have is just toooooo precious.

Technology kids

I sometimes marvel at the level of understanding our kids have with technology... from figuring out our lock screen patterns to downloading and installing games from Google Play - and they can't even read, but they can correctly guess what the X or install buttons do.

Sometimes I have to force take the tablets away from them as they can spend hours non stop on it... what will there kids be like I ask myself.

Kids of today are much less physically active playing games and more and more glued to the technology... from playing games to coloring in to learning shapes/maths or even how to be a doctor.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing, I guess only the future will tell what the influence of technology at such a early has on them.

Our soft hearted child

Michael has always been the soft spirited girl who gets very emotional watching movies where people die or has a sad moment.

While watching Hachiko the other night she could not bring herself to stop crying after the dog could not find he's owner... she just poured out with tears... same happened when her puppy died and even her goldfish.

I remember being the same watching Lassie when I was smaller.

Bramsby & Luzannes Wedding

Tonight mom and dad went to the wedding of mom's high school friend... The theme was Lord of The Rings aka Medieval.

Get married is really the easy part, it all comes down to loving and giving our best to the other and not allowing the little foxes to spoil the vineyard.
