Great is thy Faithfulness.

Just a random thought, for Monday morning.

At church yesterday morning, we sang this hymn...

"Great is thy faithfulness, Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning, new mercies I see.
All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided.
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me."

The words and tune are going around in my head. Which I quite enjoy - the old hymns are my favourites. It's simplicity and faith are echoing through my busy day.

I love to sing. If I was technically minded enough, you would all have heard my tuneful exuberance by now! Do you have a song that is going round and round in your head today (or is it just me??)? What is it, and why do you think you have latched onto it??

Ryan's Baptism

Our little boy was baptised this past Sunday, in the church where we were married, Naomi baptised and my family has worshipped for 25 years. It was very special. In addition to the usual candle, the congregation gave Ryan a white shawl, to show that he is enfolded in the family of the Church, and God's love.

Unfortunately, our camera batteries were flat. Brad's sister took a lot of photos for us. But her camera has been lost on her return journey to Sydney (she was a bit distracted by her vomiting 5 year old, on a 3 hour plane flight).

So I will have to ask around friends and other family for some photos.... Until then, here is one of the boy napping, taken just a few minutes ago.
