Five

Elijah, our youngest, turns 5 today.

My prayer for him is that he would discover that he is the hero in his own adventure, which is in turn part of the greater adventure of Abraham’s family;

and that he might grow to be more deeply and wholly Christ-like than me, in this life;

and that one Day after this we will stand side-by-side together, and see Jesus standing on the earth with our own eyes...




We went to the Southport Flower Show, where we saw (among other things) four brave knights – three men, and one woman – compete in a jousting tournament.

And, at Elijah’s request, Jo made a cake in the form of brave little Star Wars droid R2-D2.
