Slow down mummy-R.Knight

Slow down mummy, there is no need to rush,
slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?
Slow down mummy, make yourself a cup tea.
Slow down mummy, come and spend some time with me.

Slow down mummy, let's put our boots on and go out for a walk,
let's kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
Slow down mummy, you look ever so tired,
come sit and snuggle under the duvet and rest with me a while.

Slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait,
slow down mummy, let's have some fun, let's bake a cake!
Slow down mummy I know you work a lot,
but sometimes mummy, its nice when you just stop.

Sit with us a minute,
& listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment,
because our childhood is not here to stay!

To those of you who read how encouraged I was yesterday, I woke to find that my 'little old poem' has spread all over the Internet, currently at 112 thousand likes and rising! I also found that my poem is being shared all over the world via Pinterest and blogs and sites where people are sharing it. Yesterday I was thinking that my 'voice' did not count for much, today I see that actually God can use your small offerings and passions and multiply them greatly! Just like the boy that offered his 2 fish and loaves of bread.... Be encouraged to carry on doing what you love, it is having an effect on someone, somewhere...even if you are not aware if it ;) thankyou all do much for liking this page. Be the best of you and dream big!! ♥

Reflection time.

This little girl, 

pictured here,

is turning 

7 years old soon!

I cant believe it!

In some ways,

it seems like

yesterday,

that the little 6lb 2oz baby,

came home with us,

and I held her in my arms,

just

gazing

at her,

for hours on end!

She is pictured her,

age 3,

next to her favorite flowers,

the daffodil.

They come out around her

birthday,

and she loves it when they

appear!

She makes up songs about them!!

This little girl,

who is still 3yrs,

decided this morning,

that before cleaning 

her

teeth,

she would first clean

Skulley's

teeth!

This was very amusing to her!

Both of these girls,

have always enjoyed

expressing their own sense 

of 

style!

{Above} Ellie this morning....

Jessie and her

rock star look!

(this is her favorite top, as it carries

all christian symbols on it..

Jesus has the

Key

to her 

heart.

He died on the 

cross.

He made the

 stars,

in the heavens,

and he gave 

New life,

like a 

caterpillar

into a 

butterfly!

I really love being a mum, 

to these two 

precious girls!

( Ellie collecting 'unkerconks' )

Finding worms...

hugging trees?!

But being a Mum,

has its many challenges,

choices,

decisions...

and,

if i have any hope of getting it right,

training them,

equipping them,

loving them,

teaching them,

I must be diligent

in these things..

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.

 So let us put aside the deeds of darkness,

 and put on the armor of light.

Romans 13:12

and..

Psalm 54:2
Hear my prayer, O God;

 listen to the words of my mouth.

Staying close to Him....

Have a blessed day.
