With foundational flour of instruction
and a cup of the milk of human kindness,
sweeten with love,
add a pinch of rebuke,
and butter it up with humour and fun,
bind it with int-egg-rity,
and bake in the oven of daily life and discipline,
fuelled by faith and prayer.

A lovely poem... fun but thought provoking.

I think we all could do with a slice of your cake Rhiannon.

If I could I'd put the cherries on top.

I like the idea of baking in the oven of daily life. Nicely said and done, Rhiannon. Paul

Thank you, Paul. I see you have re-written your story. I must read it soon. I'm not a good judge of such stories, so don't be put off if I'm puzzled! Rhiannon

Thanks, but I've had much need of prayer and repentance, and apologies to my children too. But it's good to have the 'recipe' of their needs and our reponisbility in input in mind! 

I probably wont be able to check things online for about a week. Rhiannon
