'What fun thing shall we do this afternoon?' I asked the boys after a big clean up of the house.
Lone Pine...too late
Glindemann Park... mmm
Then Caleb said how about the video shop...then I added and lets get icecream!
It was a hit...then I said how about walking there...the groans started from one son...I almost relented with the splitting headache I had but as I opened the door, the cool afternoon breeze seemed to beckon us and I said lets do it... It was a bit of a way, but it didn't take long for us all to love it...the blossoms, the air, the sun setting, the moments to be still and enjoy togetherness, the 'look mum I can balance... '
These are the Kairos moments -the Greek word for time that focuses on quality, not the measure of it ' a window of opportunity to be seized', ' a fresh awareness of His presence in my day to day', 'Holy moments are ours for the taking when we learn to recognise the windows of opportunities God places in our path' (From a beautiful book I'm reading called Sacred Chaos).
The last picture captures perfectly their relief at being home, funny fellows...I love being their mum.

Its so true taking in those moments, breathing deeply in the beauty and wonder of all his gifts to us does take slowing down and our souls are filled. LOvely moments for a mama and her boys. XX
And the promise of icecream can make everything seem easier! Love it, Kez. Well done. Thanks for recording the moments for us.
